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

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!!

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.

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.

Jeremy

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