Thanks for the compliment dude. It was fun and messy - I had to wash it off right after I finished the video clips so it wasn't so hard - I actually took the clip of it on the rocky course after I did the mud ones so you can see how clean I got it

Thanks for the compliments guys! I had fun doing this little video - everything was fun to do except for the cleaning.
It's not too slow and it only got stuck once in the mud trail, I just set the camera up at different angles and drove it though the mud with ease.

I actually didn't seal up the electronics at all. It was a controlled amount of mud and water so I wasn't so worried - it wasn't so deep also, it would have to be all the way up by the window for it to do some damage electronically. I'll seal it up the next time because I might wanna try some water crossing and all that stuff

This was my first time putting to a test like that so I played it alittle safe, I only had it in mud that was as deep as to the top of the tires. The swampers are pretty cool indeed to have on your truck especially for crawling or offroad trails. oh yeah, I do have a camara stand but I just place it on a piece of board for ground level clips - different angles helps to make it look more realistic.

Ya did you buy them online? You would think that so mud would get up into the servo the one that turns it lol and the one your running your truck off of or did it and you had to clean it?

[coolcar24th]

Dude that is an awesome truck. You've got me inspired to make one now. But im gonna seal up the electronics forst.

[Andrew7447]

wait how are you going to do that? and if ya do wouldn't it just cover the electronics what about the batterys it cant be good on them if there under water? and how safe is it.

Sorry for all the Q's

LOL - no problem about the Q's - I'm doing some research on the best way to seal it up. i'm planning some do some crazy offroading if I get it right.
the gear had mud on it but it didn't stop it or anything - it was kinda cool that I didn't have to be cleaning it to make it work.

[Andrew7447]

what about the balloon thing? but it still wouldn't cover the batts!

Idk - but i'll look it up like I say and maybe when I find a good way i'll post it or something.
I have to make a guard piece for the gears so that mud won't be able to get into it - I was lucky that it didn't get in and it didn't even stop it either.
