Hey guys, after getting our Blizzards last Wednesday,mine did not drive as well as my sons did.so I took the body off and there was smoke rolling out of the electronics, looked to be the right drive motor and esc. I called Kyosho and they were awesome ,sent me all new stuff in 2 days! Well after reading on here I went ahead and ordered 2 Sabertooth esc's,one for my son,one for me,I installed mine last night and WOW!! drives a ton beter!!Sure seems like Kyosho should use an esc like this right from the get go!I do think mine is slower then it was stock,any ideas?

You can change the speed how fast it goes reverse/forward from your transmitter trim levers: http://adamone.rchomepage.com/guide1.htm (see them here). Maybe that can solve your problem. Maybe it just feels to you "slow".

If Kyosho, had half a brain they would recomend a sabertooth from the start. For the price the quality is not there. I love my Blizzard more than my Wraith, but have a ton of $$ in it to be right.

Merry Christmas and hope you and your son have many great times with yours. Post a picture or two.

Kyosho like all RC companies wants to make the max profit!! They don't care about quality!! I guess in the end it could cost them in warranty repairs....lol. Yeah the Blizzard is no fun at all with stock ESCs!! I was tired and bored within 3 minutes of trying to get the stupid Blizzard to move...then reverse...what a joke!! Oh and plow control even lamer...lol Having to press the right stick left and right gets tricky when wanting to move the Blizzard forward in a straight line!!

All in all happy to ditch the stock stuff and set aside for the Blizzard SR archives at Kyosho...hahahaha
