Expected a little more for the money. Vehicle look great. Performance not to good. Need to figure out how to tighten the tracks. A couple of turns and the tracks peel off.

Kyosho Trail King 1/12 ReadySet All Terrain Tracks Vehicle (Yellow)
I like it. Can't comment on stock out of the box performance. Modified it right away with high turn 380 tank motors and different esc's. I do like the climbing ability and quick turning and handling. And like how it is fairly light weight for its size. Two stick control, forward and reverse for each track is no issue whatsoever. Four stars because the manual doesn't show track tension and drive chain tension adjustments and no bearings in the idler wheels. Other than that, like it and would buy another.

Kyosho Trail King 1/12 ReadySet All Terrain Tracks Vehicle (Yellow)
Gotta love it. Near record snowfall this winter demanded I get this. A friend had the 90s Blizzard DX and it was so awesome back in the day.
My first impressions:
Super stoked to finally get one of these. I wasn't interested In a plow so I went with the Trail King vs traditional Blizzard.
I also picked up the ball bearing kit from fast eddy which for what this cost should have come with it. That was another $19. Although I'm not even sure how great idea it is on the bogeys since they will be wet. Not sure if they're stainless steel.
I plugged it in and the lights lit up as expected. The user manual mentioned binding the radio for first use, but it worked right out of the box. The default radio setup had a weird mix going on so I had to flip a channel or two to reverse and then it was straight stick actio ln for each track. I prefer it this way as then I can have total control vs a mixer even though it's harder to get used to.
One thing I wasn't sure about and couldnt find online was if both sticks spring to center- they do thankfully, so it works perfectly with this.
The gearbox is loud and all plastic but the motor pinions are steel it appears so that must have been a recent upgrade that kyosho did as I read many people recommend to upgrade the plastic pinions on the Blizzard.
In future if I can get resourceful I would love to go to a sensored brushless direct drive of some kind, eliminating the gearbox and chains completely, making it super quiet and about twice the top speed would be nice. It's very slow. But for now it's fine and it works. So far it's been in the snow only once and did a fine job. Loving it.
Track tension is adjustable by turning screws. It's in the manual.
Pros:
Awesome tracked ability goes in snow where nothing with wheels can dream of.
Cons:
Costs as much as the Blizzard that comes with the plow - this should cost $20-50 less.
Included charger is a joke. USB takes like 10 hours. Uses deans so use your standard charger to charge instead if you have one.
Should have included ball bearings.
Very cheap ESC and motors. Less than two batteries run, one of my tracks stopped working for a bit, I unplugged everything, nothing was fried. Plugged it back in and it worked again.
Be prepared to drop around $75 for new motors and escs in the future, I am planning for it.
Zero real hop up parts available, some folks machine custom metal parts on rcsnowcats forums to give ideas. Some free 3d printer STLs are available for things like upgraded wheel sprocket designs that don't get clogged up.
