i have a bayou (a lake type thing) behind my house and every once and a while it emptys so i go and drive my savage in it. it is alot of fun the mud is like 4-5 inches deep but my truck is huge so the skids dont even touch the mud i have 40series mashers 6.8inches tall and really lifted suspension

I drive my Savage more in the winter than in the summer there is nothing better then pulling the savage out on a frozen lake when the ice fishing is slow

Best pic I have seen in awhile did u have any issues after the snow (problem wise) I like the ruts in the back ground (do u know what temp the mill was running at) by the pic it looks like the head is covered in snow
AWESOME action shot too
Actually it was running at 225* and the only thing that wasn't snow covered was the engine and the pipe. ;) As soon as I get my new project together look for some more snow shots as I am starting to see some snow here!!

we will be waiting for them
I was out today in it for a bit but it was to dark for any of them to come out good, and I had problems with some parts that I will leave un-named at this time.

I was rippping in some pretty deep water last weekend It was a balst until I got allot of water in my engine my airfilter was soaked
how much water proofing do you have tho do to run in the snow,water,and mud. also what all and how do u water proof
Use ballons to cover the receiver, battery and servos, or a use a silicon sealent of sorts to seal the servo cases and the area where the wires route though the case, find an o-ring to fit under the servo horn and use a little grease there also.

Thats a good point jt never thought of useing the o ring on the servo horn good tip there man
