Here is a video me and Crawler02 made today. It is in a huge rock cory but nobody is there. I think i got pretty close to clodstall's river videos. I did make it through the mud also, but it is hard with a 55 turn motor.

Did good in the mud, I love that kind of mud!

Nice video!

was the mud after the bodyless crawler? all i saw was water play but i didnt watch the whole thing.

did look fun though.

That's some gooey mud there.

Now all you need is some horse power to get you through it.

Yes, it was twords the end. It isn't a whole lot, since i can't really get through it very good with the slow 55 turn motor. I did get through though. I want to come back there sometime with a faster motor and go right through.

get a mag mayhem!

Thorsteenster · 03-25-2007, 09:23 PM

lol...ok, i saw the water action then cut out to the crawling and i figured that was it, i'll have to go watch all of it!

Ha, only if you will buy it for me.

Really, i wish i could, but i can't afford it. Even if i could, i would probably save it for a scaler.

TLTCrawlin · 03-25-2007, 09:27 PM

You got paypal? 10+ shipping and you can have it!

Norcal crawler · 03-25-2007, 09:29 PM

Really? Does it work good? Oh, and also, what type of oil should i put in the motor to grease it up again? Just normal oil or grease or what? I don't want it to get all messed up from the mud.

TLTCrawlin · 03-25-2007, 09:40 PM

motor cleaner when changin out packs ETC.

The comm should be cut. Maybe new brushes too.

Norcal crawler · 03-25-2007, 09:43 PM

Ok, do you know where i can get motor cleaner? And do i have to change the brushes after every water run? It seems like it would get pricey.

TLTCrawlin · 03-25-2007, 09:44 PM

Tower or LHS

No, main sign of bad brushes are sparking!

Norcal crawler · 03-25-2007, 09:47 PM

Ok, i should be able to know when that is happening. Hopefully...

TLTCrawlin · 03-25-2007, 09:52 PM

yeah if you run it in the dark you can see the motor have sparks in the motor!

clodstall · 03-26-2007, 01:43 AM

not bad. need swampers and more ballz now.lol
i run a tian 550.

Norcal crawler · 03-26-2007, 09:16 AM

In your SW2? I think i've got a 550 motor too but i don't know if it wil fit.

bronco brother · 03-26-2007, 09:18 AM

no he runs a titan 550 in his bogger

raul duke · 03-26-2007, 09:32 AM

Gettin into the deep stuff, nice. Spray the motor and lube the bearings you won't need brushes for awile, just check em for dirt particles if your muddin alot.

Norcal crawler · 03-26-2007, 04:35 PM

I got wd40, so if i spray that in there should that work? Also, i'm running bushings, so lubing bearings isn't a problem. I will redo the axles if i keep going in water like that though and get them all greased up again. And, you were right, going through the deep stuff is fun. I can't wait to get my scaler and put the 550 in it.
