mud

I could only drive out of the one hole in the last picture the other was just to deep its about 8 inch to the lower part of the body , it just sucks it down ,it is so soft that ground the truck weighed twice as much when it came out so i drove it through the stream it came out like new .

ok i know i asked this before. but that was during winter.

so ballon the electronics. i get that. but on those pics, the weather looks warm. wouldnt the esc overheat inside a ballon? how did you keep it waterproofed???

thats amazing. madsteve can you show your truck without a body so i can see how you set up and protected your electronics. thanks

Smile electrics

It was only at the weekend i used it ,its not very warm over here at the moment but here is the pics .Since i have put the new spedo in it is mounted ina small box with the receiver high up on the chassis it works for me ,if it does start to over heat i will get a bigger box and make a vent in it to cure that . Before i used a waterproof speedo but the reverse was not that good for what i needed .The box is from a local electronics store ,it also keep's the truck tidy
