Default Mud runnin' the Crawler

Well, it was supposed to be some big dirt chunks with cement mixed in (next to a house slab) but the rain came and turned it into clay soup. The crawler did pretty well considering. Damn Claws gooped up though...need me some boggers








Sprayed it off in the sink with the "pressure washer" and made a little concrete course. Seems to have handled the dampness just fine...not that I'd make a habit of it.

Does it get enough wheel speed to clean out the tread? I wouldn't think so but are you runnin it in high or low in the mud?

Well, it was a clay type mud so that little sucker woulda had to do about 50 mph to clean the mud from the tires. Even in Hi on concrete it couldn't clean em. I was in low in the goop and it had its hands full with turning the tires in LOW. Did alright though, considering.

Nice tip... I noticed that the mud was just falling off this morning. Much better than spraying water on it.

Good point. 1/18 Nylints are very expendable

Nice, Sounds like fun. Your kid will probably wheel it harder than we do.

Not too bad.... but I do get dirty looks like I'm trying to peel out or something. I drive like a gradma but I can't keep it from barking. But, its all a compromise between money and capability and still being able to get into the parking garage.
