This things are so awesome, you actually get enough snow to use these those , i still love watching the unboxing videos man never gets old , it really doesnt
They are fun! 😁👍 "If you get snow at least" Otherwise their kinda useless, "plastic tracks don't do well on most surfaces"😂 Snow and Sand they Rock, but pretty much useless for anything else.😕😄 Can't thank you enough for your compliments though, I sincerely appreciate that bro.😁👍 I'm actually working on a unboxing video currently, I filmed it last week, but I haven't had a chance to finish editing it yet,😕 It's almost ready, just needs to be reviewed a couple of more times before I decide to send it.😊👍
Among other things your unboxing video shine because you read the box. I know some people may not like it and some content creators say "I won't bore you with that, you can read the box yourself" but for me, that's not true. I don't have the box to read. I watch unboxing videos "before" I make a purchase, so I really appreciate you taking the time to showcase the box in detail.
I always add LED lighting to these. You can replace that top fake flasher with a real LED flasher, you do not save the original anyway. I upgraded mine with Traxxas motors and a duel ESC system and a Tactic transmitter and Receiver. They are fun. I get mine out every winter.
😄👍 watch the next video "featuring this vehicle" on my channel... I totally redesigned the body and dubbed it "The Blizzard King 👑" It's part Blizzard 2.0 and part Trail King 😄 lol and it looks pretty darn sweet.😁 Check it out... It's titled "Blizzard King 2.0" As far as swapping out to Traxxas motors and different esc's; I do the exact same thing 😄👍 I run dual Traxxas Titan 18t 380 motors with 16t pinion gears, and Axial AE5 esc's, in our other blizzards, This one is still stock though,😕 But I do have all the necessary ingredients sitting on the side for this one, "for after the stock motors burn out" I always like to see how long the stock motors will last, before swapping everything out for the upgraded stuff. 😄👍 Back to the Blizzard King for a second.... You gotta check out that video! 😁 Otherwise very much appreciated for your great comment, and my sincerest gratitude for checking out the video my friend.😊🙏 Blizzard King Link 👇 th-cam.com/video/nLzCGcO4Y8E/w-d-xo.html
@R.C.A.D. I would like to do something like that, but too many other RC projects on the fire. When you own Planes, boats, cars, helicopters, its a lot of maintenance after the upgrades. I can never leave anything stock, thats me.
Good question Ralph 😄 ha ha ha lol This was filmed last year, so I can't remember why she wasn't in school at the time.🤔? She does attend school online via Mich Virtual, but I'm not sure why she wasn't in class at the time, other than maybe we classified that outdoor time as "gym class" 😂 ha ha ha lol Kit version; unfortunately no! ☹️ As far as I know "there's no kit version available.😔
Glad to see you guys getting a 3rd cat. Looks like it was a beautiful day and great snow to do a test run. Have you tried the alternate steering and blade control? I found it easier than the stock set up. It's on page 15-16 in the manual🙂
Thank you Michael 😊👍 And yes sir it was definitely a beautiful day, perfect for a Blizzard's first run.😁 As for the alternate control setup on page 16; no I haven't tried that 🤔 I've thought about it before, Because I figured that I would get more positive power to the tracks, using the traditional 2 stick method.😕 As for the kid... I kinda want her to learn it this way first, that way she'll have the know-how for operating a skid steer, or Zero turn lawnmower in the future.😁 As for the plow control; I've found that I prefer it on the left stick, vs the right, with my Blizzard Fr, And Buggy was kinda thinking the same, But ultimately speaking... I would love to have the plow on a Dial, That way you could dial it up for cruising around in the snow.😁 As for a 3rd Cat; It was time..😁 the kid has been missing out on the Blizzard action, so my brother decided it was time that she had one of her own.😊👍 Many thanks for your Great suggestion, your kindness towards the video, And for taking the time to check out the video, Very Much Appreciated my Brother. 😊🤜🤛
Well... I think they blocked out the windows, because the interior doesn't necessarily line up right with the windows, on the body. 😕 If you line everything up when you're looking at it, it looks like the seat is sitting too far back in the cab "kinda like the rear seat in a extended cab pickup" 🤔😕 But still...it would have been nicer if they didn't cover them up. As I said in the video... What's the point of having a interior if you're going to block out the windows.🙄 Side note; There's a kid on TH-cam, who has a video about clearing out the windows, I can't remember his channel name 🤔 But I just added a link to his video, in the description area of this video.😁👍 "Hopefully that kid will appreciate it" 🙄😂👍
I hear that....😁👍 Lol A RC snowmobile would be kinda cool for a minute or two, But ultimately I don't think that it would be very usable,😕 The snow just gets way too deep around here for something like that, And I'm thinking that it would probably be getting stuck, more often than moving around freely.😕 But still... Don't know until you try 😂👍 lol A RC Snowmobile would definitely be cool.😁🤘 Thanks for the Great suggestion/laugh and for checking out the video my Brother.😊🤜🤛
Ha ha ha... Right! 😕 I've been wondering that about all kinds of different RC's throughout the years. As for the Trail King vs the Blizzard 2.0; The Trail King has working Headlights/Tail lights, and a pickup bed. Blizzard has a working Snow Plow (servo driven) and No lights front or rear. As to which is better; That all depends on the person and what type of vehicle their looking for. 😕 As for cost difference; Kinda of no brainer, the Blizzards "included accessories" far out weigh the Trail Kings led lights. And when it comes to LEDs on the Blizzard, it only costs about $20.00 bucks to purchase the Trail King taillight buckets, and it's pretty easy to install headlights into the upper light pods on the Blizzard body. I did a custom combination of the two different vehicles, "I call it the Blizzard King 2.0 😄 And I did it before we took it out for it's first run too.😂 I'll include a link to that video below 👇 th-cam.com/video/nLzCGcO4Y8E/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PJPevrc_Ewfe04XX Closing statement; The Blizzard is the better way to go in my opinion. 😄👍 Thanks for your great comment Eric, and much appreciated for checking out the video my friend. 😊🙏
Beside the body size difference, is the frame still the same size as the FR? And are the body pins at the exact same location? I got an FR and can't find a new body at all.. Wondering if the 2.0 body could fit on it!
Everything is the exact same bro, the only real differences between the FR and the 2.0 are the Esc's and the 2.0 has a washer on the back side of each of the idler wheels to give it a slightly wider stance, but it's so miniscule that it's not even worth talking about,😄 And everything else is the exact same.😁👍 If you need any ideas for different body styles feel free to check out a few of my other videos featuring the Blizzards, I turned my nieces Blizzard 2.0 into what I call "The Blizzard King 2.0" it's part Blizzard and part Trail King,😄 or you could check out my Blizzard Fr, dubbed the Midnight Blizzard, which has a Tamiya Midnight Pumpkin body on it, and is "technically" it's second pickup body, it had a Radio Shack Samson Monster truck body on it previously,😄 lol as for my Blizzard Fr body; I have that sitting on the side in near perfect condition.😊 Blizzard King link 👇 th-cam.com/video/nLzCGcO4Y8E/w-d-xo.htmlsi=DfXoa04nM1i5seHV Blizzard Fr with Samson body and Midnight Pumpkin body 👇 th-cam.com/video/1C4B3zgQTIY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=b5vJ42eyof8Z5ymj Midnight Blizzard Fr & Custom Trail King 👇 th-cam.com/video/LQ-ziQoWcQg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kFUPht0jJ9sIMfwm
@@R.C.A.D. I do love the look of a pickup body, but sadly I'm running an FPV setup in mine which is not exactly waterproof, the blizzard FR body does a pretty good job at keeping my setup sealed behind the windshield! So I could potentially get a top and bottom part of a 2.0, cut out the seats and dashboard to put my fpv stuff in
@wazabiqc Or don't worry about installing the FPV, and just go out and actually have fun with the vehicle.😄 From another person's point of view, "fpv" is basically like the camera going through the snow and obstacles instead of the Blizzard, "and in my mind" takes away from the truck itself.😕 Fpv is kinda cheesy!
@@R.C.A.D. Well I'm mostly using it to remove the snow from my patio with the blade installed 😂 I had a spare camera setup that was taken off one of my freestyle drone so, had to try it.. And I gotta say it's pretty fun for cleaning up a small layer of snow from the patio. But of course, if it's to drive fast and bash around, FPV is not that great since you can't see around that much

Tuesday March 14th why isn't she in school? Good run sweetie
It's nice but only one problem, it's not a kit!!!
Is there a kit version?

And yes....why oh why did they black out the windows? Especially when there's a nice interior inside. That didn't sit too well with me either lol

How's this the same price as the trail king. Is something better on the trail king soon nice this has a plow and extra servo for the same cost
