-test track kit in various condition
-install servo for plow
-make a new plow frame to adapt multi position of the plow (up-down)(roll : in - out)(rotate : left right)(angle: left right) ( drawing are almost done for the blizzard )
-make support for the tiller and make it more realistic subframe
-install light kit and if i found something good install sound module ( any ideal of something good ? i have see a kit on the tamiya truck ? does it worth ?)

Great work on that intricate snow plow mount and tracks! Perhaps redesign the last idler wheel mount at the back and incorporate a 3d printed tensioner system.

Hi Prob4, I also own a DickieToy Pistenbully 600 (heavily modified) and my track are broken.
Could you tell me what material did you use for your belt? Have you test it under real outdoor condition (-15c)?
Thanks
