Let it snow with these scale, DIY snowplow mods.

By: Tim Gluth

With the winter that we've had in Wisconsin, one that feels like it may never end, I've gotten used to seeing snow, shoveling snow, and swearing at the snow. It's become an art form for me. It's gotten to the point where I don't want to hear about anything having to do with snow...unless it's something like this.

Snow, man.
Aftermarket options to add a plow to your R/C vehicle are becoming easier and easier to find. For those that may want to go the DIY route, there are a few options for you as well. A YouTuber named YellowBonz69 used a few spare parts from a variety of R/C vehicles, a little PVC pipe, and overall ingenuity to rig up this custom plow for his SCX10.

If you're interested in how he went about piecing everything together, he put together a followup video, showing the method behind the madness.

For a similar approach that doesn't entail as much raiding of your spare parts, take a look at Amtrobia's plow build.

After seeing these DIY options, are any ideas running through your head for using your radio-controlled vehicle to deal with Mother Nature?
