Now in Seriousness...
A few people have put plows on their trucks with the thought of making "Winter chores" easier, but in reality, it is not very functional.
First of all, the Jato is only 2WD, so it will not get much traction. Even if you go with a 4WD truck (T-Maxx, Savage, Revo, etc.) It still would be limited by the weight of the truck. A 10 lb. truck will only push about 5 lbs of snow or less. Not to mention all the extra stress that would be put on the drivetrain and engine.
In a VERY light dusting of snow, it makes a kinda cool video, but it definately will NOT make shoveling the sidewalk or driveway any easier.

Well what if you put that on a crawler

A crawler generally has more Torque, and Theoretically could push more weight, but it would still be limited because of the light weight of the truck. There is minimal Downforce for the truck to dig in and get traction. Rather than Push the snow, it would just climb up it. Pulling would be a different story though. When Pulling, the resistance causes the the shocks to compress, putting more weight (traction) to the wheels.
Watch when a Truck Pushes something, the resistance causes it to raise up. This results in less traction. When that same truck tries to Pull something, the resistance pulls the truck Down, causing the tires to dig in better.
