Kyosho BL8BK Sprocket Black Blizzard

Kyosho BL8BK is the drive sprocket for the Blizzard. The sprocket is the toothed wheel that engages the rubber track and drives the whole machine forward — there is no wheel doing that job on a tracked vehicle, so this one part carries everything.

Sprocket teeth wear rounded over time, and grit packed into snow accelerates it. A worn sprocket slips under load, which feels like the machine bogging down on a climb even though the motor is clearly pulling. Once slipping starts it also chews the track, so replacing the sprocket early is cheaper than replacing both.

This supersedes the earlier BL8. Kyosho lists it for the Blizzard, Blizzard SR, Blizzard 2.0 and both Trail King versions.
