Proton Mudder
Here is my start of my Lithium Mudder/Crawler.
The reason I said Proton, was cause some electrical term needed to be involved, as it is lithium. I'm currently working on a wide axle all around, with super swampers. I have a 180 Size motor, that is beast for crawling, and speed. I'm painting a Nissan Titan body white to show mud in contrast. So Far: I cut the cradle to fit the motor, and am working on the wide axles. The lith kit is made, and I need to water proof. the white stuff is super glue on my hands, get your mind out of the gutter!

Thanks I used mini-clamps for the wide axles, and I have M/T tires. They are hard, but I'm boiling them to make them soft, but mudding, and dirt crawling doesn't usually need super soft tires so I'm in the clear.

Are you going to upgrade to any better electronics? I also am going to make a mudder, but I going to wait til RC4WD ( I love those guys!...no homo) comes out with their micro axles. That way it can be super scale and perform 10x better than any xmod.

With those tires and lithium, the motor is going to get hot real fast. The tires really suck at performance anyway. On my wood floor it would just spin out, so I don't see how this will handle well in the mud. (I tried it in snow, same problem. The tires gave me no grip so the truck would just get stuck in the snow)
In other words, try to get a set of different tires. Otherwise, nice build.

If he's going mudding, the tires wouldn't matter much since you're technically in the mud and you only need wheel spin but for a crawler, you'll need some softer compound tires.
So the setup he has right now is actually pretty good to go mudding! Just don't forget to seal properly! |

The reasons for lith is weight, power to get through mud, and COG. Thanks for heads up on tires, and for the positive feedback And civic, to seal I'm using liquid electrical tape
