I have never done this particular build before, so I am interested in seeing how challenging it is going to be. Today, I am installing a Sabertooth 2x12 ESC, designed to control both speed and steering.

Great video Medic! Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
THANKS!! I ordered the ESC from ROBOTSHOP myself. Something I do with receivers-- I take BIND, AUX1, AUX2, etc. and plug in short servo extensions before I "button up" / seal-up / waterproof the receiver. Then I waterproof the ends of the extensions sticking out. This way, if I have to re-bind, or use the AUX for something [ telemetry, lighting or sound, etc ] I don't have to open up the receiver box.
Looks awesome Aaron! Those tracks sure look sweet. You will love this machine!
love all you vids to trailing + repairing/moding really good work
Awesome video! Like them build/custom videos you make!
You'll be amazed at how dry it stays under the body. I've ran mine in water at least track deep and the esc was totally dry on the inside.
I got rid of the on/off switch also and beefed up the wiring. Pop a 3S in there and have fun :)
The holiday spirits are still with me! Gona go play with the new quadcopter! BRB!
Man you make the coolest videos
I love rc upgrade videos!
Great video medic I really enjoy what u do
Great video man...keep up the great work!
Love how you upgrade it before you even run it
love the vids medic keep em coming man!
this upgrade is so awesome I just did it
Awesome Video!
Another nice one Medic.
great video as always and now you are making me want one of them lol awesome job Medic
As ALLWAYS.. A very entertaining & informative video sir! Thanks for sharing :) .. hmmm and you have me very tempted to order up one of those Blizzards :)
Awesome medic always wanted a kyosho blizzard I never had the money for it
Well heck, very awesome.
This will be fun in the snow Medic :-). Our snow melted again, so I'll have to wait until we might get some more before I can run my blizzard again.
Nice video DJ.
The ends of the wires should really be tinned with solder when using those screw style terminal blocks with stranded wire. When you clamp them down the stranded wire tends to fray and this can create hot spots that rob your battery run time, or with enough draw melt the terminal. Love the vids man, I get to see all the stuff I can't afford.
Awesome video! I just bought one of the FR ones with the metal tracks. I'm planning on converting it to brushless and a nice light kit. Hope you get those new motors in yours soon!
This is gonna be so fun with the motor upgrade and 3s!
Medic this thing needs a police type light at the top and lots of LEDs! :)
cant wait for part 2
awsome vid
just want to say This...
if You Had Not Done This Upgrade Video
I Would Not Know what to do!
Thank You Very Much
Hey Medic, over Christmas I got two new rc's and I made a blade for them and it worked really well.
You and jang (ultimate rc) inspired me
Thanks for the mention your Awesomus maximus
Wow that was 6 years ago Medic I just got the trail king looking forward to modding it
Dude you make me laugh!! Very entertaining video! You sound very cool. The upgrades sure are awesome! I would never run my Blizzard SR without Sabertooth & 380's. Best combo I think???? For me it works perfectly. I know this is an old video but still great info!
You should use the plastic tracks for traction plates with your other trucks. I think it'd be really cool, and effective.
Your right side track is on backwards! The little circles go to the inside 😄
Thanks Aaron! Good eye, I fixed it right away :)
Very nice upgrades. What dip switch settings did you use for the Spektrum?
COOL
I got one of these for Christmas and it's my FIRST RC EVER!!! I was wondering if you could provide links to all the pages you buy your electronic bits and parts, because I am absolutely clueless!!! Thanks much! :-)
Cool
I bought the same blizzard a few years ago. I got the sabertooth and waterproof stainless-ish bearings (they are magnetic stainless) + beefier wires. I waterproofed the sabertooth and went submarine style with it but it died on me last year so I probably need a new one.
Ran it with a 2-cell lipo.
The stock motors are a bit slow in my opinion so I'm it should be interesting how the new motors work for you and if the gears hold up.
You didnt even try it on cam!!!!!! What a tease D: !!!!
Hey! I was wondering why everyone goes with the 2x12? Would the higher models work? Or is the sabertooth 2x12 the best you can get?
hey medic just wanted to know if you might put on the rear tiller that you can get for the kyosho
Hey, Medic
What kinda dremel discs do you use? as in which ones are your favorite?
Thanks, Teigan
who we are ? medics subscribers !
what do we want ? more upgrade videos !
when do we want ? everytime !
What size battery do you plan on running? Can the esc handle a 3s? (The sabertooth)
I must know where you got that metal plow... I've bought over 3 plastic plows and they break every time just from the cold weather making the plow brittle. Please respond!!
Rember to watch the rudder chain falling off. If it does check the gear alignment
that beep gets me every time..
think the sabertooth esc 2x12 works on a blizzard fr ? wondering about upgrading a little still waiting on lights damn but I'll have some fun soon
hey medic thinking about getting one but does this run in anything more than snow more like offroad terrain as in rocks
If you want to try something differant for water proofing. Allot of guy here in Ontario are using Acrylic Conformal coating with really good success. Its a clear coating that you brush on, 3-4 coats and you'll never worry about agian. It's what most manufacters use when water proofing their boards before selling them to us the end user
Silicone conformal coating works alot better and wont fail in below freezing conditions since it has flex to it even MG Chemicals that makes it all suggest using the silicone conformal coating in extremely wet humid or frigid conditions
We bought a sabertooth 2x60 amp esc a few years ago for the robotics program at my school and the esc was possessed. Would always lose signal and randomly drive around the arena. I would be skeptical about that one if I were you
I got a question? just got mine today I had a 3300mah 7.2v battery the minimum to run it.and want to know what battery I should upgrade to; keeping in mind im gonna keep every thing stock! thanks
Would be nice if kyosho would see the Blizzard sr with better Electonics. This is very koooool
nice mods! :)
what about a pretty fast car with tracks? i think it could be nice ^^
What motors are u planning to put in I think u said but not sure
CorrosionX works grate as well to water "proof" as well, its so safe you can use it inside your transmitter! Good luck every one hope this helps.
nice..how much can it push?
the metal tracks are the old design, the plastic are the new design, I still have the old design plastic tracks :P
Where you took out the switch use it as a Red Break light
I had one of the original blizzard vans
I really enjoy the videos you share, Some of them has even increased my creativity. Thanks, Keep up the good work. My new channal on the tube :)
hey medic how wide are the tracks? thinking about using them for a build
Medic are you still going to be working on the snowmobile RC's you got last year?
Yeah bud, eventually when I get the time. There are lot's of factors that go into these things.. like the poor quality of the track/belt that is on it. Its not a very good specimen.. but Im slowly figuring something out
***** I hear ya, I have one and the track is cracked just from sitting in one place for a year or so. I'm looking forward to what you come up with, appreciate the reply.
hey medic could u do a viooe on the wire u used and the motor install ans setup. thanks man
Just for the hell of it, what are the actual dimensions of the Blizzard tracks, as in width and length.
I know the plastic one comes in 2 pcs per track
You should make an rc snowmobile
What gauge of wire are you upgrading to?
What's the maximum wire gauge that will fit into the saber tooth esc?
Get an axial wraith steering rod and put it on with the notch around the motor
I would like to see the red one in action
I'd like to see one of these but larger and gas engine powered
In my town they use these to pull sorta trailers that make "roads" for skidoos :) you could loon in your local skidoo trail if yu wanna see one :)
Extreme Kouki ya...they're called groomers...they're utilized to keep the trails smooth, not to actually make them.
Justin Bechtel agreed. Maybe 1/4 or 1/5 scale would be ideal. 3-3 1/2 feet long posered by a small 2-3 horsepower briggs & stratton, tecumseh or even a $99 predator motor.
medic can you please do another video on micro crawlers i'm looking to build my own corse and i need a guide to go on, love your vids btw
Are you going to get the exceed r mad torque 8x8 it's freaking huge
i hope so
Have you seen the Pistenbully R/c's
Medic do some losi runs
Can the original ESC run 2S Lipo Batteries ?
I think u should check out the axial AX90034 SCX10 jeep wrangler kit it looks like a fun build,PS check out all the axial stuff they all look really fun
Just picked up a FR in like new. Anyone have a source for metal tracks still?
helloo from the UK :) .. i was just wondering as you were chatting about Plastidip on the circuit board, have you ever used ACF -50 on open boards like that instead?
Medic can you do an upgrade for a blower on the front
Never plasty dip on PCBs use conformal coating
Hey medic can u post a video of how the controls work I'm looking to he on by would like to know how the controls work so I know if its too hard for a beginner to control lol
hey medic. great video man. i have the wii fii version of the same machine. first i would like to ask about the wire upgrade. do u use a special wire for rc or just a normal larger gage of wire. may i ask what gage of wire u used. the second question is with the stock rec it is wii fii ready and runs the on board cam. wondering if that rec could be powered by the rec that i will use and still work the cam. my rig works off my smart phone. u do great videos and just in time for my upgrade to lol lol. thanks man keep up the great work
Where did you get it
how about putting dual brushless motors in this
what kind of dermal do u use i got the dermal 100 to start and i want to upgrade to your
Hey Medic why dont you just turn the servo over on its side so the rod and horn are facing upward so its more like an | not like a 7. I really hope that makes sense XD lol #MyLogic
Youre right side track is Back wards
I got a traxxas slash raptor and I want to keep mud from getting in the transmission motor bearings esc any suggestions.
👍
were can i buy tracks like yours?
When is the skatepark-pain, I have been waiting almost a half year to see a new episode. But I understand If you, Jem have much to do with (the) Mac (attack). I would be happy for answer :D have a great time!
when video of the first run ? :3
Where does you buy
I remember last year you were going to build a snowmobile and one video you said you are going to build it next year and I've been really looking forward to it are you still doing it
I just noticed that someone else posted this already
Ron Again, my upgrade is coming along well but a tad slow. Will share PIX when I am done. Used the wet method to break in my 380 18T motors. Before runninb the motors I used electrical contact cleaner. Be careful, the cleaner IS FLAMMABLE and brushed motors SPARK. ... ... I used a GENERAL TOOLS PRECISION OILER [ www.generaltools.com/precision-oiler ] to lube the motor bearings.
Hi medic I was just asking if you could give me the link to the red rock tires on the black widow. I can't find them ANYWHERE!!!
IMEX makes them, my friend.. :)
Any chance you could try dromida vehicles? I got one and love it, especially for the price. They are smaller than the viecles you usually use but are still vary fun to take out and run through the dirt. Please look into it if you see this post and please everyone like it to get him to see it.
