MDLopez1 Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 (edited) Here is my latest trick to making my excursion truck or any RC more versatile in water... I used to run standard foam inserts in my tires then they would always get damaged after a little water play... so when I got the new double tires i removed the inserts so i can go in water without any issues. with time the side walls got soft and I started to loose traction... well I was given great ideas by my local hobby shop about using BBs plastic or metal but I was worried I would start flinging them on faster runs so while driving home and passing a plumbers truck I saw my answer.... this video shows you how i am using pipe insulator for tire inserts. since they are water proof and hollowed this seems to be a great resolution to my "water-runs" problem. I hope this helps you please let me know your thoughts...

MDLopez1 Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 Just wanted to play in the water and try how we'll my new tire inserts are working... So far works well but I need to go with a slow start so tires fill with water other wise in deep water it flips over and floats upside down...

MDLopez1 Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Just a video follow-up to a request I got on you tube about the weight of the truck. Remember this is its dry weight then add weight of mud and or water.... This is a heavy RC... Video: The original CRASHER... Equal parts CRAwler and baSHER...
