A 46 Power Wagon for 2018 Axial-festing.

[Highmark]

Back from A-Fest, and a training course from work, and work. The little Power Wagon did very well the whole trip and finished every course it ran (one even in 1 wheel drive)!. It works great and is very fun to drive. Here's some pictures!

When it was shiny at camp.

We were told specifically not to run this course with 1.9's, and then WE DID.

Defiance

The P Wagon was tearing it up.... even in motor boat mode. I'm still trying to unlock that achievement but cant seem to get to that level. Do I need a secret code or buy more coins?

Aside from the few mishaps due to never being run, I think it did really well. Looked predictable and very stable. So much fun, really looking forward to next year.

Those fenders and side boards were really the only down side and even if, they didnt really stop it! Definitely gave me some ideas for next year!

:ror: Thank's dude! I think it did aigh't for being a big dumb truck. If you haven't heard about motor boat mode, it's when this:

Turns into this (because the receiver freaked out):

And you're not in control of your truck, but it's just kind of doing a little of this:

With your truck that your sort of, but not totally convinced is waterproof. :ror:

As a reformed comp guy I had to try really hard to not chop the front bumper, fenders, and bob it for better angles. I think it turned out more fun that way, but definitely not as capable as it could be. :ror: Glad to hear it was inspiring!

'Tis a fine boat.

 

[nwnewbie]

Hahahahah motorboat city!

I definitely brought the wrong rig, comp rig was doing good but was not built for that kind of a beating.

I must say, that is one sweet Power boat.

I feel like there's a very fine line of what's capable enough or too capable for A-Fest.

Why thanks!

Great looking truck! Axialfest looks like a ton of fun.

 

[Highmark]

Thanjs man! A Fest is awesome, you get so much drive time!

Not sure if you'll still respond to this or not but if you could, could you please tell me how that RC4WD 8274 Warn winch reacted to being submerged in that much water? I've been worried about getting it submerged myself, that or rusting components of the motor on it. Did you have to waterproof anything on it prior? Pretty cool to watch, should have added floats to it lol

 

[Highmark]

Nope I didn’t do any water proofing. It’s ran fine sense but I’m a bit irresponsible. It would probably be a good idea to check the gears and maybe hit the motor with some WD-40 after. Its nice that Rc4wd sells replacment motors too.
