We had ALOT of rain yesterday....the mud hole I went to go to today seemed to be at least 1 foot deep. I dont think the truck would have fared to well"thumbsup"

Not true, its always in 4wd. Except when your rims come unglued...thats never good:lol:

[clod booster]

really?

anyway awesome vid, the high lift looks good cruising around.

Alrighty I got the pics. These are all from today. Most of these arn't stagged but a few(waterfall) are. After coming home and being a bit disappointed with its performance I found the problem. The 2 rear tires along with the left front became unglued within the first few minutes of running. So with that and water in the tires caused the rims to slip inside of the tires, hence the performance issue. Im going to glue them again tonight.There arnt too many pics because I mostly took video today:

I also just got my can back(thanks to TylerV on this board) in the mail. It was supposed to be for my 2nd truck(which im building right now) but I just had to check it out. What do all of you think. Keep the Spare tire holder on this one and put the can back on the 2nd or keep the can back on this and put the tire holder on the 2nd? If I keep the can back on this one I might remove the light bar.

[chino63]

[clod booster]

the first part, the opening song, is mad world by Michael Andrews

[mudrinner4ever]

i really like it on this one. but i think it will look good on the other one too.

[brendan h]

Not true, its always in 4wd. Except when your rims come unglued...thats never good:lol:

thats heaps cool. i read on tamiyas sigh thats its only 4wd in 1st or it was the bruisers i dont know but yer thats great 4wd always, what about the lockers how long does it take ot lock/unlock the diffs?

[jamesbernatchez]

thats heaps cool. i read on tamiyas sigh thats its only 4wd in 1st or it was the bruisers i dont know but yer thats great 4wd always, what about the lockers how long does it take ot lock/unlock the diffs?

Its very simple to lock/unlock the diffs. Just remove the plug in the diff axle housing and either put in or take out one screw to lock/unlock the diffs.


Chino- yep that was Trace Atkins - Rough & Ready

Clod, that Mad World was by Gary Joules(sp?) He did it in the commerical for Gears Of War(X360)

What can I say...i love smuggling stuff"thumbsup" Guns, Moonshine, or Fruit, its all fun to smuggle:lol:

On another note...i kinda miss my lift:-(, just a bit though.

[Norcal crawler]

Hey, do you do anything to the servo to get it to waterproof? I know they are water resistent but im not going to drive my crawler that much under water. Well, i already did but i don't want to try it again. I don't want to buy another servo. I have heard grease on the openings but it seems like there is something else to it. Thanks.

Edit: Oh, and smuggling fruit???

I have no idea about the fruit thing LOL!

I didnt do anything to the servo but I never fully submerged it. I would take liquid elctrical tape and "paint" it over the wire's grommet, and the case seams. Let it dry for a while and then take some grease and grease up an o ring and put it on the output shaft along with more grease. That should work fine and keep water out.

[Norcal crawler]

Ok, thanks. I was taking a big chance going throught water up to the top of the fenders on mine and didn't want to do it again.

[diamondbackrc]

[draven]

[ScGRaceR]
