Mudding!!
This forum is dedicated to all people who love mudding and build mudders. Go ahead and post away. I'd love for people to post some tips too. I'll start.
Mud took victim my first rc last month. It was a twin detonator all waterproofed. Took it through about a foot of water/mud and there was a weird short and the resistor on the msc lit up in flame.

RE: Mudding!!
Mudding always sounds like fun....Especially with my Genesis.....But man...LOL....The clean up looks like murder. LOL....I suppose i'll have to man up one day and then get ready to strip the truck and power wash it after.
Anything you guys do to make clean up easier besides coating your rides on WD-40???

RE: Mudding!!
take the elctronics out and hose her off dude, let her dry a minute and take some carb cleaner to the spots where dirt is, and wipe it off, after that whip out the aircompressor and dry her off, after that take a can off wd40 and coat it lightly and let it dry in the garage for about 2 hours, you should have a brand new looking ride

RE: Mudding!!
A stock CEN MT2 might break something because of the stress on the cvd's. But if it's modifed and the electronics are protected, it should do OK. I bought new shock towers that give me a little more lift, that would also help. Upgrade the motor to a .18 for about $35 to give it a little more power.

RE: Mudding!!
i dont think either would break, i think they would both get stuck, the clod might do okay because of the responive motors, nitro motor take a little bit to get torque, electric will put out all of their power the second you touch that throttle,
just depends on how deep the mud is
