Snowplow with Lights for Redcat Gen8 and TRX4/sport

Included: 1x Fully Assembled Plow without servos

Needed to Complete: 1 or 2 standard size servos with servo horn (Set your endpoints on those two channels to zero before powering on the first time, then increase the endpoints to gain full function)

Note: You need two standard servos for lift and til function. You can use one servo if you don't want to use the tilt function. This requires two additional channels on your receiver to operate the plow.

Plow set up tips and precautions

If you are planning on using this with a traxxas Speed control read this first!

The BEC built into the Traxxas stock speed control does not like to handle the extra servos. I highly recommend either upgrading the esc or adding and external BEC. I will be doing a more detailed write up of how to add a external BEC. Until then if you need help don't hesitate to message me.

Endpoint adjustments

Before loading your servos or plugging them in if you bought a ready to plow version set your end points to 40% or less and put the switch in the centered position. Then you can tilt the plow left and right and adjust your end points up until the plow wants to contact the lower swing arm of the mount near where the shock connects. Without properly setting the end points you may damage your servos plow or esc.

More on BECs

Battery Eliminator Circuit, simply put it powers your servos, and anything else you plug into your radio like a winch or lights. Most mid range or better crawler ESCs should do fine. The 1080 hobbywing in my Redcat handles the demands of the plow with little effort and is a great ESC all the way around. If you are not sure if you ESC's BEC is good enough you can also add an external BEC.

Keep on plowing into the night with these stream line led lights added the the standard plow. 1-2 servo and servos arms needed to complete shipped fully assembled.
