Default Kyosho Nitro Blizzard

Anybody have any experience with the Blizzard tracked vehicle. It's not that popular but I just purchased and built one and em excited to try it out. I have not seen any posts regarding this vehicle but thought maybe I should start one?
If anyone knows of a Forum on this please let me know. I am also curious to hear anybody's thought on this product. I purchased it because it's different than anything I have owned and wanted to give it a go in the snow!

Thanks!

I bought mine direct from Kyosho's site.

It would seem they raised their prices substantially since I bought mine.

I purchased mine on E-bay before the Holidays from Hong Kong. I paid $366 total including shipping. Expensive I know but I realluy wanted one. The new modelsbeing shipped come with the GS-15R engine instead of the GS-11R engine as indicated on the box. I can post pictures if anyone is interested. It's not painted yet. I am trying to figure out how to mount the lights. I purchased a LED light kit for it but the body is a two piece design. If it was one piece it sure would make the lighting wiring a lot easier!!

Later guys
Mike

Finnally my Blizzard is complete, now if it will just warm up a bit. Pretty cold out right now. I'll freeze before I get thru a tank of gas.
I'll try and get a video of it when Iam able ti run it. For now enjoy the pictures!
Does anybody have any picturesof thier Blizzard's? If so please post them Iwould love to see them. Also does anybody have any suggestions onhow to break the Blizzardin?
I heard that many people eliminate the primer buttonon the fuel system because it tends toleak and causes tuning problems. Is this true?

Looks nice with the inside of the cab kind of lit up like that.

Thanks Lunchboxer. I should probably move on over to that Forum since most of you guys are on there. I started this forum as "Nitro Blizzard" but not intentionally wanting to talk about just Nitro.
Nitro is my thing even though I know electric is much easier to just plug in and go. I just like the noise and smell of nitro. Always have. I have nothing against electrics at all.Who knows one day I might all go electric and getride of my nitro.As much fun as it is I have in the past got frustrated with tuning but it hasn'y stoppedmefrom continuing.
