Its alive! :)
 
I didnt post pics because I didnt have a camera at the time, but about a week ago I drove my SMT Titan off a pier and into the ocean. Managed to pull it out after about an hour, completely tore it down and rebuilt it. New electronics of course, but the engine survived. Got a new body for it since it was beat up anyway.

Just when you thought it was safe for your Revos and Savages to come back out :D[&:]

Oh, I am so jealous, you just had to get your 1/5 car in there too :( But nice work on the rebuild, I cant believe you got that engine running after a salt bath.

Where did you dump it, off the pier by Emeryville where everyone fishes? I didn't know there were areas to run anything of decent size over there.

It was a defunct pier on the other side of Golden Gate Fields, the horse race track. They have a huge parking lot I run it sometimes.

What brand is the 1/4? I want one. How did you get it out the water? I take it it wasnt that deep.
