    Got on some dirt

    Was an open house at Lynchburg rc. First time running on any track. Also used my micro crawler a bit. Can’t wait to continue this hobby !

      Lesson learned - avoid the mud as much as possible. 2+ hours into cleaning so far haha

        I’m pretty sure that’s considered an excessive amount of disassembly after a race. Those screw holes won’t last forever.

          there was an inch (a literal inch) of mud everywhere. Didn’t have much of a choice

            Whatever you say, Detective Monk.

            That scale crawler track looks great. Now I want to make something like that.

                  I'm in the RC hobby myself, mainly racing. I know most of those Slashes have waterproof electronics nowadays. Just take a hose to it without taking it apart and then get an air compressor and dry it off. Welcome to another addicting hobby!! :-)

                    I’m grabbing a second for a basher and mud fun. The clay here in the southeast is just so fuckin sticky, I had to take the motor off to hose it separately it had gotten rock hard inside the case.

                    anyway I’m skipping the mud holes while racing now 😂

                      On those brushed Titan motors, get some CRC QD Electronic cleaner. Clean it, blow it dry with air and oil the bushings. Those motors are tanks if taken care of.

                        it’s actually the bls2 brushless. Once I washed it out I used my compressor to dry it off. Just cannot believe how crazy that clay mud gets.

                        I had to disassemble the transmission too, worked it way in there pretty good. Rebuilt shocks, dirt in the oil etc. I’m gonna have nightmares about that clay man 😂
