The flex on some of these is crazy.

I'm just getting my Clodcrawler finished. Its got a Gecko II chassis and can get a full 90 degrees of articulation. Actually, with the shocks mounted all the way in on the arms it'll get 90+ degrees.

I saw pics on a different forum of a Chassis with 180 degrees of flex, but I'm not sure that would do you any good. It did look cool though.

You can actually run a motor under water. I've seen arcing while trying to clean my motor once...

Whole darn thing went up in a blaze!!! Fortunately, no damage... LOL...
