So where's the part where the truck fell into the water?!?!? I was waiting for that.....
Cut if off at the end, mostly, you can see the truck start to fall into the water. Whole think sunk in by the time my friend got it. I just didn't want to post what I said at the end heh... Hole didn't look that deep at the time. There are a few trick holes in there, one of them is 6 feet deep (not that one)

cool video.That sucks!!! does the esc still work? you should get a water proof one. i bet it took every thing the servo,esc,reciver???
No, I sealed all but the ESC, which I put at the highest point, right under the roof (added the riser) since the LED module I made took up the space. The ESC was okay after a drying and waiting period.

I swapped out the S600 last night and put the Venom 21t back in, and the thing goes faster than it did with the S600 lol. This thing in 1st gear could almost beat my TXT, sadly.....[:'(]

I hope to get a video of it, and maybe I'll try 7 cells today lol.

Nah...*whistles innocently* I'm still waiting on my B/L system to come in for it, and I think I'll make the rear 4 link now. I figure I'll get another one and a MFU for show, because this poor thing is being beaten...

So.........ordered the new gears for your transmission, yet?

It looks like you had a lot of fun making the video. [sm=thumbup.gif] If I could, I would drop by for a visit and show you how I keep my truck on it's wheels. [sm=lol.gif]

Here's the damage...




Twisted/bent leafspring, snapped ball connector, 2 rack lights broke off, and something loose in the tranny.

The bumper guard obviously wasn't bend by the buggy.
