I plan on using the Moebius chariot sometime in the future to build a remote control version, using the old kyosho Blizzard Snow-cat. I have mine, but if want one, you can see try to buy this one.

so what scale would that Kyosho Blizzard come out to be as a Chariot?

EDIT... never mind... 1/12 according to google search

Watch out! There's a more recent Kyosho Blizzard model out, which is 1/12 scale. BUT- it only has FOUR road wheels. Not to mention it has a more complicated single motor drive, with differentially-braked steering.

I would model the Chariot to fit the Blizzard. Its not any real scale in particular, despite being sold as 1/10 or 1/12. R/C scales are really not true. Tamiya's 1/10 Hummer is the same size as thier 1/10 Mini Cooper... hmmmmmmmmm.

The Blizzard is pretty cool but VERY tempermental and breaks easy.

I've had my DX for a couple of years now. Mine doesn't seem fragile. I (play) with it a lot! Just keep the inside copper wires clean and away she goes. The remote is whats (italian) FRAGILE....love that Christmas Story reference. I paid a lot of money for it and have had a ball with it. I have already altered the treads somewhat to conform with the chariot. The moving suspension is what I like best about the thing. Takes rocks like a champ!
