Well you may have to wait a bit longer. lol
Last night I noticed that I was having power problems, even with freshly charged batteries, I couldn't do much. So I reaplaced the motor thinking that was it, but then I mounted it wrong and won't work, so Now I have to re-mount it and try to get a good amount of power again.

Im running the stock 4 cells, so around 4.6v and also I installed a servo motor for more power, I just need to re-attach some wires that came off of the board, then I am good to go.

Will get a vid soon hopefully.
Also took out for a spin today, since I got everything re-attached. Alot slower, but way more torque and alot more fun to drive in the mud.

Nothing, but if you look at the pictures you can see that the electronics are high enough up that water and mud won't get on it unless it rolls over.

Not really sure how it crawls since I have no rocks around me. lol The tires are Ashomi (Spelled something like that) Super Swampers, and they are very hard to get since they are rare, I was lucky to get a set off of a trade with a guy who lives near me. I'm not really sure, I have driven through water with them, and they kept the water out, so I don't think they are 100% water proof but they can hold back water for a bit.

Small little update: Took it out for a spin again, but I'm still having some slight turning issues, like it won't center out so I am either going left or right, which doesn't really affect it much when I am mudding or doing some slight crawling.
Any suggestions? Also I already tried re-centering it and using the trim adjustment on the controller.

You'll have to recenter the steering pot. I want to say there's a tut on it some place, but you'll have to pull the front ends apart and recenter the steering pot (what the PCB uses to measure steering angle) relative to the servo gears.

Well I remembered that I had an Escalade body that I did a few years back & realized that its wheel base Is perfect for this so I mounted the rear and took some pics, let me know if you guys think I should keep my old F-150 Body or Use this one?
Also I need to get rid of the side steps or at least trim them up since the tires rub a bit on them. The right side of the body sits up a bit higher than the left, so I need to either tweak the right so its lower or lift the left a-bit. Here are some pics:

Well small update put some boggers on it and got the escalade leveled out, and the wheel wells ready to be cut & the body ready to be dropped some.
Here are some pics: Had to add a zip tie so the motor would stay in place.

It's coming along great. I'd suggest spraying the chassis flat black to help it's looks, but other than that, I dig!
