you problyy saw one that was madeby art attack

[bullethead]

OK I know Im going to hear about this, but...

My old lady likes m BIG, she likes the 1/6 scale stuff and she cant drive my stuff, YET.

Been lookig at new bright stuff on ebay, then found one at the local salvation army for $10.00, NO Tx.

Went to their site and ordered a Tx on a wednesday and got here on SAT.

Thats faster than tower.

$10.00 plus $5.00 shipping.

I think it would be a dissapointment AS to SPEED AND GENERAL PERFORMANCE.


But they seem to have good customer service.

If its the Blade replica. Dont waste your money. Once the track gets wet, the drive drum just spins in the track. The steering also draws like 99.95% of the drive motors power too. :mad: The new Polaris one looks to be the same platform as the Blade too.
Is it the MXZ one? I have not bought one yet, but I am planning on real soon :D It looks to be designed really well. At least better than the blade one :rolleyes:

This is the nitro powered art attack:

Yes it is the MXZ one.
I was just wondering if anybody has one of these toys???
I was going to try to get one and mod it up but I am worried that it will be a waste of money.
Has anybody tried one of these yet????????

[porschefan911]

that tower hobbies snowmobile looks like a pos....and i have a feeling it is one

[illbreakit]

I have been looking at the MXZ one here too. I wana put a Zenoah in it LOL. That would be cool.

[Monsterbrad]

I would like the MXZ one but I am skeptical about how the track is driven???
Anybody have one of these things yet???
I saw one last winter on ebay that was all done up with a new motor and good electronics.

It reminds me of how my Kyosho Quad handles. It looks cool as heck, and scale realizm is next to none, but it probably handles like a tank. But it would look trick next to the Kyosho Quad on the shelf next to my old racing trophies!

I saw the Art attack one, it is very nice, with a good .21-.28 in it it will fly :D

[ososlow]

MORTER, your MGT will go faster than it if it was buried in 8 feet of snow. Its the exact same thing as the blade, but different shell. My blade is only good as a paper weight. :mad:

The MXZ has a drum drive system like the Blade, but it has better cogs and drive catches from my inspection. I would still like for it to have a drive setup like the art attack and real snowmobiles though :rolleyes: . It' also 19.9v or whatever so the steering and speed has to be way better. :D

A .28 would rock in the Art Attact :D You would have to bolt on some plastic paddles just so it could get the power to the snow though. Maybe drop and roll the "chaincase" for a better angle of attack and drop the rear suspension mounts down so you can have more clearance for the paddles and better deep snow performance. I would also have to do something with the front suspension. Its way too low IMO :D
