HI,

I just waterproofed my electronics for my Tamiya M1025. I added harder springs and did some trimming on the control arms to allow for more articulation and for the ride height to be taller so I could squeeze on some 1.9's. I still have to get my scale accessories started (headlights, roofrack, winch, windows, paint, etc.) Here is a little video from my first outing with it since I went through the electrics. Enjoy!

Looks like you got a drag brake setup on there...or a really good finger response for slow braking downhill!

Definitely get a gear reduction unit if you're going to turn it into a scale crawler. I've never seen a M1025 on 1.9''s great job!

I am having similar issues with my CC-01 it's just too fast! Which is why I decided to turn it into a mild lifted 4x4 truck that you'd usually find in on the streets.

Throwing on a Highlift Tundra body WIP on that one.

There are tons of ways (and videos) on how to waterproof your electronics - how did you do it?? I'm about to try it out myself

EDIT: Oh, and I really enjoyed the video! Nice work - I'm excited to see how it turns out with paint and accessories.
