Southern Oregon RC Rock Crawling: The Submarine Adventure

[44Tapout]

Please help me find a truck for crawling. Like a ford or dodge etc. something real looking. Like 200-300$ that would be preferred. I would really like to get a real looking truck

[RcZandMore]

lol at the 1:1 and the same car on way back

[TheNojik]

isnt those rc damaging if they are 100% to roof in water?

[671solo]

good stuff bro!! i live in Hillsboro Or. and i was wondering if there was any other good places for trail riding? i have an axail scx10 honcho and lookin for some fellow crawlers..to hit the trails with!! le me know whats good.....

[NeNeHeaVy1991]

yu guys are kraziie puttin yur cars under water like dat!

[jake92sc]

i came in here thinking it was real. i was pissed and about disliked it, then i saw the nissan flexing! its just like a real truck! thats awsome! like!

[panzerducky]

how did you water proof your stuff??

[498motocrosser]

dam in in central point lol



[davewade]

@smilyman567 They can, you just have to have $40 or 50k into them. Four Wheeler Mag's TTC is always fun to watch too.

[Terr0ristC0rnwallis]

I hate rc rock crawling vids, but these had some crazy suspension for toys, and it wasn't that bad...

[davewade]

@Terr0ristC0rnwallis As stated already, to each their own. But thanks.

[prejeanbrennan]

FUCKING FLOR THE REAL TOYATA

[davewade]

@prejeanbrennan Actually it's a Nissan Frontier lol.

[Rcnation101]

U can buy them in a hobby store or online like towerhobbies

[Alysonjipeiro]

where can I buy this one??

Respond please!!

Thanks

[davewade]

@Alysonjipeiro As stated above, you can buy ready to run scale crawlers now. Axial SCX10 is about the best on the market. You can get them almost anywhere nowadays. Just google it and see what's close to you.

[ATBROBLOX]

nice titan!

[EFanatics102310]

How much are those remote controller cars??? Please men i want to get one

[davewade]

@EFanatics102310 You can buy a ready to run Axial SCX10 for around $300. It won't be waterproofed though.

[th3crawler29]

No friends lol.

[davewade]

@th3crawler29 Really? Actually I have quite a few friends. We all have 1:1 4x4's also. It's just more fun to play with these. Plus they are a bunch cheaper to build and repair. But you go right ahead and act like you got a clue bro.

[eminempkr]

I can't believe people actually do this.....To every man his own I guess.

[jimbeamsmith]

@eminempkr the quote goes " each to there own" :)

[keziolio]

an on-board camera can be cool

[davewade]

@keziolio Yah, one day I plan to get a GoPro

[nowaczek102]

Cool. Fun

[davewade]

@nowaczek102 Thanks!

[jacobguenthertv]

this reminds me of the time i took mi r/c car on some ice and it broke, we couldnt find it till the next day and it still worked and it was not water proofed

[davewade]

@jacobguenthertv Nice, what kind was it?

[jacobguenthertv]

@davewade it was some wal-mart car like a tyko or a new-brite i think

[mtrsport1]

i live in oregon

[davewade]

@mtrsport1 Where at?

[KRAZYRCDUDE]

what kind of cars are they

[davewade]

@KRAZYRCDUDE These are all custom built rigs. They were Tamiya TLT based.

[19Jose91]

[davewade]

@19Jose91 Thanks!

[Kestral2670]

[davewade]

@monturacer3 These are custom built, TLT based.

[nameloc1000]

[davewade]

@beatlesrock1971 I agree.

[cows1990]

[MrGimli2]

i live in oregon =0

[davewade]

@MrGimli2 It's pretty popular here in Oregon. We get a lot of rain all year long.

[MrGimli2]

@davewade tik thats what sucks

[mikedubbs46]

Nice buddy!

[davewade]

@mikedubbs46 Thanks!

[lilsk8t3r4life]

where do you get these things

[Z40009]

Where all do you run your trucks? I live in Roseburg and this just seems awesome

[davewade]

@Z40009 We have fun scale spots all over southern oregon. This is a spot just outside of Gold hIll. We have spots in Medford, Ashland, White City

[Glockenator]

I once had some kind of RC truck years ago, and I water proofed it, but it floated for some reason. I took out to the pond an it was almost halfway out and then it sank. I discovered it had broke and the water got in, and killed it. I have no idea what it was, and I've never found another one

[dsmdeegen]

I have a friend in Ashland and wouldnt mind brining my r c down there, Is there a hobby shop in that town that carriers traxxxas parts?

[friesen99]

my rock crawlwe is not water prof it kind of pisses me off got any tips of making it water prof

[xPowerofwillx]

Im a complete newbie at these things, but what is the cheapest, most durable, possibly waterproof rockcrawler out there?

[marcr1994123456789]

You can waterproof any rc yourself, just chenk out Squirrelod videos on rc water proofing.

[NASAVirtual]

Nice Unimog, don't see too many of them here in California though.

[1995mustang1]

gas or electric



[cows1990]

I enjoy videos with water crawling in them. I have a super crawler it float on the water, 40 series mud slinger tires.

[thegetupkid7609]

Great Vid. Tough little trucks.

[dutchy2005]

my rc car can do those too except rock crawling. my rc car is pretty old it's tc-03 but i made it waterproof and its great at it

[chuckkicksass]

rock crawling without a rock crawler......interesting......­.

[NASCENTproductions]

[iliveonjupiter]

what body was the orange one

[binkley118]

How did you waterproof them ?

[s1021076]

[butty41]

[onlyeyesabove]

[bradleyaarondepew]

[snizzlegraffiti]

hey i have a rcok crawler too but what did you did to make it water free?

[bumblebee286]

waar heb je gekocht k mot zo n ding hebbe!

[pfiberoptik]

lol @ 0:30

[yoodoo122]

That full size looked like it would struggle on a croquet lawn!

[RaquzaRage]

Hey, you should try out some floating tires so you can get over the rocks a bit eayser and you can float and drive on the water :D

[celinepauloanthony]

where you here to find

[cantonhockey1]

The song is actually The Red - Chevelle

[davewade]

Correct, as the credits say. The thing at the bottom of the screen is from the record company. It's the only way they'll let me have the song on the video.

[cantonhockey1]

oh sorry i didn't pay attention

[electrohacker]

but oncw you go through water like that you should check your bearings with a good penetrating lube and go through your motor too, water eats brushes and rusts bearings

[davewade]

True, we actually run all bushings in the axles and trans and just fill them up with grease. But as far as the motors they don't tend to last all that long if you run them underwater very often.

[octigonwallrus]

@davewade actualy i had bearings, once they rust up and stop turning then they become stainless steal bushing you never have to replace ahhahaha.

[samos1991]

Cayenne, best car ever! : D

[watchoursnowboarding]

what tires you running?

[davewade]

This vid is pretty old. When we made this we were almost all running Proline Masher 2k's.

[jdster199]

where do i buy them i wanna put em on my wrangler lol

[rcBitz]

@davewade What you running these days?

[misterblast]

woah that's just awesome

[7matlock7]

hay i lived in gold hill. now im in the marines and living in san diego.

[bradrsavidge]

nice toys! respect

[monk3yh3ad]

thats a big at 4:26 ...lol

[nitrorazor10]

small, But strong

[wessywess6]

how much r they worth

[SilentSoftAirSniper]

usually u would use something with huge suspension arms and giant shocks for rock crawling but the fact that u did it w/o that stuff makes this vid even better

[rcguy8038]

It's called scale rock crawling.

[emodestroyer556]

sweet

[iamsosohotbaby]

thats a unimog truck! ahha cool

[kittybath]

Very nice vid and crawlers

[remotecontrolaholic]

omg great crawlers I really think the need to be wider tho.

[XShadowRejectsX]

r these xmods? kuz they look like em!

[joegadd]

NOOOOO!!!!!! these are way better than xmods, trust me, xmods will never be able to do that stuff. these kind of truck cost about $200 at least

[XShadowRejectsX]

lol, , i couldnt tell kuz to low profile plus their springs are colored like xmods, xmods suk, these are cool tho!

[humvee600]

[cfarrar9]

[davewade]

It's Chevelle The Red, I actually put credits at the end, people just never seem to watch all the way through. lol

[DavidSymesSandoval]

nice adventure!!! and also the tip... tnks

[stevensx14]

what types of trucks are they, or are they custom, and now there is all waterproof servo and esc by traxxas

[davewade]

These are all custom built rigs using parts from many different kits. Yah haven't tried the new waterproof stuff yet.

[broncos346]

the song is "the red" by chevelle

[truckboy123456789]

how did you get these awsome vehicals i live in vermont so is there a website? Are they under 200 dollars? i love them keep it up

[amerbritcan]

What's the song? I like it. also nice Vid

[davewade]

To answer the neverending question of waterproofing, you place the receiver and speed control inside ballons with grease or silicone in the mouth where the wires go out, then close with zip ties. We like to put them in at least 2 ballons. Make sure the servos have grease in them and the oring seal is in good condition, and plan on replacing your motors more often. Water and mud are hard on the brushes and comm's. Batteries we've never worried about or done anything to.

[octigonwallrus]

hey dave i have actualy found shoe goo to work better then grease, its a lot easier to clean up when un water proofing.

[BOMBITAMORENO]

joder...despues de cargarse su coche de radiocontrol va y hace la mariconada esa con el de verdad...joooooooooder!!!!

[ahodgekcms08]

how did u waterproof

[SaltLakeCityUCE]

At times I thought, No Way...then you got out of it. Killer Video. Thanks!

[CertifyThis]

Great vid no complaints here

[foggymajor]

how did you walter proof your stuff

[WhyteRaevin]

you just say "hey walter! stay out of my stuff!"

[eddyabc]

I wanna use that 2:1 scale unimog. The 1:10 scale Titan was awesome too. Are they homemade? I'm looking around for the right size chassis for a body I've made at school for my engineering diploma.

[plm9872]

love the vid!!!!!!!!!

[rogerinoly]

THAT WAS A SICK UNIMOG!!!!!

[CRF150EXPERT]

finally a crawling video i actually liked, nice unimog 5:40

[WellsR47]

they seem a bit jumpy and to fast for what there doing

but still pretty damn awsome

[Phillip312]

that looks more like a civic than a Buggy

[subsubsystem]

nedo

[katokimo]

woooo nissan titan body

[prankster3718]

that was an awesome save by the yellow buggy

[cutwagman]

This is the cooled ..thx 4 makeng it :^/

[generallee777]

That Nissan Titan is the coolest.

[BoGryf]

big funy he he

[COOLCOOL63]

super

[curtiswoods]

the silver truck is a beast

[CrazyMxRider123]

Exellent Video.

[poonoodle2113]

sorry if im dumb or something but how does a electric rc car go through water?

[Patikxx]

good question... can the isolation be waterproof? I mean at least the electric motor would stop working..wouldn't it?

[kirktcashalini]

electric motors believe it or not are the ONLY area that doesnt need to be modified for being waterproof... the hard areas are the reciever, speed control (which they DO make waterproof ones), and Servos (again, waterproof ones are made)... there are many ways to waterproof things (I use baloons), other people use dielectric grease, and it looks cool in video but is 100times more fun in real life submerging your truck... check out my latest video for some 10min fast WORKING waterproofing

[modernmariorc]

I use DAP Kitchen and Bath Silicone for waterproofing.

[morito12345678]

you have to cover the reciever and the speed control with a balloon for waterproof and then fill the servo with grease

[stroti299]

look like lots of fun

[crag73]

lol you cant give the 1:1 scale truck a quick boot if it gets stuck though can ya :P

[p0ngm4n101]

Nice choice of music.

[Hugo007lol]

Sorry , wrong name, It's from Chevelle - Send the pain below.

[kart4nos]

are those water proof and where can u get one at

[zachd242]

bad ass boyz..

[Hacker9111]

hah, i thought this was a real jeep and the videokinda speeded up lol

[nfsfanAndrew]

invinceable! against rocks! i want 1

[gatoradeboy1234]

do you got to build it or comes assembles already

[drskate321]

is it safe to drive electric rc in water

[swynx987]

if its waterproofed yes

[tehjooteh]

you scrubs need gear reduction and/or higher turn motors....

[carson901]

nice vid! is that nisan titan a wheely king? what is the partnuber of that body and what manufacture?

[afterusaydit]

awsome vid and nice song. what is the name of the song

[Hugo007lol]

The name of the song is The Red  from Chevelle.
