spencertrax 23 Posted January 20, 2013 Well those to topics got me thinking about my former plow truck. It was built on a cut up tl01 chassis with a blackfoot body and home built aluminum plow. I always liked it and had good feedback but in order to help out my nephew I dismantled it and gave him the body and plow gear. i still have the chassis such as it is and am thinking of restoring it back into a car again. Anyhow back to the present I also have my first scale project a modified TA02 with a blackfooot body as well. As it was snowing yesterday and my wife was away I made a pot of coffee and started digging through some of my scrap and found enough aluminum to recreate another plow. While its not complete yet i made pretty good progress. Plow blade made, split a piece of 1" aluminum tube and opened it up. I used some other odds and ends to make the brackets to mount it to the truck. i haven't built any up right s to mount lights as I don't have any yet. Servo mounted for the lift need to build the linkage this morning and mount some electrics maybe even some paint. Jay origional plow truck new plow parts and pieces progress as of this morning 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spencertrax 23 Posted January 27, 2013 Well I guess this is done for now other than figuring out how to program the 3rd channel on the DX3, as I haven't used it yet. I decided not to add plowlights as the truck is lifted and the headlights clear the plow, looks a little like the cheap plows they sell at walmart etc. Put a trailer hitch on as well. Cheers J.
