You should always run snow plow/Ploughs as a pair, one facing each direction so you can get out of trouble qicker than you got in to it!!!!

The big hand in the sky can rescue mine, so I thing I'll stop at one

 

[Philbahn]

Impellor now fitted. Balance not far out considering it is hand made and cut out. I E not milled the slots nor put in a dividing head

Looking good Phil do like your Rotar blades Got some work to do on my plow as i've gone and burnt the motor out :wits:

 

[Philbahn]

A word of warning Richie, Don't be tempted to go for a 600 or 550 from the model shops they are only three pole and draw a bucket load of amps.

Like I've said before a 5 or 7 pole seems best bet. Voltage 15 volts upwards

 

[Philbahn]

Well now I've sorted out the best way to mount the motor, just tried it out . There's a slght speed wobble at about 6 volts. However the balance must be close because it rides through it at higher speed

Thanks Paul for the thought. Seem to be taking one step either way at the moment. Put a bit on take it off again.

Think the angle is a bit flimsy so trying to strengthen it. We will get there though
