Very cool RC rig!

Is the underwater stuff really cool to be doing for the electric motors though?

One of the best RC toys I have seen yet, but then again I have not seen to many.

It does seem to be setup for some good rock crawling.
I would buy one outright if it came modded the way he has it setup.

Actually it's the Monster RC FJ body on a real RC 4x4 frame. My friend and I were talking about making the conversion. The Monster RC FJ is a cheap piece of junk but the body would go good on a frame he's got.

I'll have to tell him about the video and he'll want to do it for sure

Ya know, I would think they do have lockers but I can't recall seeing them. I remember the one I put together was limited slip but it didn't cost that much. My friend has two that cost over $1000 each after he was done with them. I'll have to see if they have lockers.

Nope... It'll eat the grease off of the armature and probably cause corrosion on the commutator. But given all the other work he did, hopefully he thought about that and sealed everything up. He'll need to worry about the RC gear as well.
