Not bad. I don't think you need a motor for every single axle, though (unless you locked the wheels to the rods). One is usually enough for something of that size.

I don't like the fact that there's so many motors on it. It would be very easy to make all that happen with 1 hidden motor. Just gear it so that all wheels turn, and then make a pulley to the snow blower thing. But having all these motors stick out every where makes it look unrealistic.

EDIT: beat me to it^

I agree with everyone else, there shouldn't be so much motors. Suspension would be pretty cool

You could always strap a rubber band around one wheel on the axle and another wheel connecting to the motor. You could do this for both axles, even with only one rubber band.

i think i might do that rubber band thing to add a secong dually axel to the back end cus it would beteer look to me. if i had one more of those tan pieces u use to look the wheels and gears i would take the drive out of the front and move it to the back for 2 rear drive axels and free rolling on the front but one peice short maybe ill just hot glue it to the axel
