Pretty nice!
Like the other reviewer noted, it WILL fit a Redcat Gen7 truck but you have to grind out the truck's bumper mount holes a little bit. The included chain is useless and will snap the first time you use the servo. I used a 25g heavy duty servo.To minimize downforce, I simply unscrewed the spring retaining nut off one of the shocks...one shock provides enough downforce.Instead of the chain, I linked doubled up paper clips and mounted them to the innermost hole on the servo horn. If you mount the blade to the outermost servo horn hole, it puts a strain on the servo and mine got hot. Putting the link on the innermost hole didn't result in any less movement and the servo no longer strained and got hot. You will spend a lot of time refining the servo throw to get it just right. Don't expect the blade to rise super high, but the effect is nice.Yeah, the instructions are terrible, but all the parts are metal, and no parts missing. The only thing not included are the servo mounting screws, and the servo (bought separately) didn't have them either...lucky I have a parts bin. I got by with the photos included in the description. Also, don't use locktite on any of the screws, because you might have to remove the plow blade to make it easier to make adjustments.Now just waiting for snow.... :-)

Screenshot the images for assembly.
The media could not be loaded. Keep the link to the images here for assembly, or screenshot them. The instructions are so faded and printed badly, that you'll need a good reference. It's not super difficult to figure out. I broke the chain provided immediately and improvised with a cable instead. I will be removing the shocks and using lead weights to provide downforce, and increase the lift throw and reduce pressure on my servo.. Pretty decent kit. A bit overpriced for the lack of instructions. Quality and finish is nice. All holes are threaded well and deburred. All holes lined up perfectly. I only dismantled 3 times before looking up the pics on Amazon for a reference.Would be 5 stars if the instructions were legible and the chain hadn't been so cheaply designed.

Nice little plow
The media could not be loaded. Well built 1:10 scale plow. Used it on my Trx4 Defender. I did modify it a little to use an actuator instead of a servo. Great customer service f4om the seller also. Will probably buy another for a truck I am working on.

Missing parts
There are parts missing. If I'm unable to fabricate the missing parts, this is a definite return.Edit: The instructions absolutely suck, but they say it's supposed to have 12 M3x6 screws, it came with 8 M3x8 and 4 M3x6. The screws are too long to use, so now it's either drill the holes longer then tap the threads or use my own hardware to build it.

only buy if you know what a tap&die set is.
Do not buy this plow unless you have an m3 tap, and extra screws. the plow requires several m3x6 screws but doesnt come with any. you will either need to buy more screws, or cut the ones included down to fit.Ignore all the idiot reviewers who couldn't figure out how to build it. all of the parts are clearly visible in the amazon photos and if you cant build it based on that you shouldnt be in this hobby.Overall, i did get it assembled, and working. One thing to note is the bumper connection is the weak point i will be adding two more braces at the bottom of the plow.

If you like puzzles
Very nice quality of parts. However the instructions are very bad. The 2 illustrations are of very poor quality. The parts list makes it even more difficult to make sure you have everything required. With some patience and guessing I managed to put it together. There is a provision made so a servo can be installed for lowering and raising the plow. I installed it on a Redcat Gen8.

Très mauvaises instructions!!!
Je trouve très décevant pour un produit de ce prix de recevoir une copie d’une copie, d’une copie comme feuille d’instruction. J’ai du chercher des photos sur Google pour le construire!
