Wow great video At about 3:30 that thing was buried lol. What are you running for motor/esc/gearing? Because that thing has some mad wheel speed.

thanks man, it got buried cuz i nailed a snowbank and didnt see what the landing was like, lol. it dosent crawl very well ( i got other rigs for that) but here are the stats. motor/ esc- traxxas vxl brushless system gears- 81s/20p mip driveshafts robinson racing gears in the transmission. i stand by this setup, ive been running it for months and i havent broken a single thing in the driveline. good for running trails, mad wheelspeed and waterproof. whatever i cant crawl, i can usually launch over it. lol |

Nice, I might just have to try that in one of the rigs. I've got a vxl esc but no motor at the moment but might have a friend thats got something, He's got a bunch of brushless motors. Thanks for the info |

im running the 2.2 tsl super swampers. put them on unweighted rims. seemed to float the best. was running paddle tires, hooked up awsome, but it you started to sink there was no stopping it, the sucker would dig untill you hit bottom! thanks for the props, this is one of my favorite rigs to drive |

Fun video man! Very industrial playground you have there lol. Kinda seems like Russia somewhere. That thing scoots !! It's nice watching a 4wd rig hauling ass yet still capable to trail run.
