There used to be snowmobiles a long time ago.....I think there just was'nt enough interest....I want to say Kyosho made on, along with the SnoTrack, at least I think that's what it was called..

Here you go. These came out close to 10 years ago. In the past they had nitro and electric kits. I remember seeing them in a bunch of hobby shops but I've never actually seen one run.

There is also the New Bright 19.2V Ski-Doo that quite a few people mod with good success.  It really has a nice scale appearance.

I personally think that while snowmobiles might be fun the kyosho blizzard is much more stable and can handle more speed.

There are some half-snow mobiles. Well, they are really a conversion kit. For example, you can convert an HPI 5B Baja into a half-snow mobile with this kit from Lunatik; and they are a hoot!

I brought one of these at a garage sale, $10. I put in a Novak BL motor & ESC, & new FM receiver. It kicks but!!
Luckily the tread is in good shape. I don't know where I would get a replacement.. Any ideas anyone ?
