I hope you liked the pictures, i wish the cliff climber didn't have open ended axles that let mud in and small motors that get bogged down in mud, but i guess i will just have to live with them. :roll:

Nuke these are awesome.....crawlin thru the mud/water always been sumthin i wanted to do, just never got the waterproofin down + always seemed a little PITA in between runs, but still...yeah looks damn fun =)

 

[nuke24]

Thanks, yeah crawling through mud is very fun, the clean up isn't as fun though but i just spray everything off with a hose then i put it in clean water above the axles and drive it around until mud stops coming out.
The waterproofing is actually fairly easy just don't rush it, here are a few youtube video's on how to waterproof.(All from Squirrelod)
