Don't mess with it....snow creates too much drag for that little engine...you will burn it up in no time.

i would deffenitly get paddles, i rode my blaster in the snow for 3 years with turf tamers.... mushed it ALOT. i dont see why putting paddles on a blaster would make it go any faster your going to need alot less engine RPM to keep up the speed. it will help you keep that thing together

i hate to burst your bubble, but paddle tires really won't help you that much. unless you get ones that will give you more ground clearence. i have paddle tires (sand sharks) on my raptor that i use in the snow, and i still get hung up on the axle carrier. they are good when the snow is harder and not all powder. they will just dig. my cousin ran sur-traks and they seemed to work pretty good, but they might be a little heavy for a blaster. i guess the best thing to do is buy a set and try them out. i hope they work for you. and don't get me wrong, paddles are a blast to rip around with when there is about 1/2-1 foot of snow. let me know if you get those paddle masters. i am thinking about getting them when my sand sharks go.
