Whiskey is a real treat to be around. I'm also glad he is with you now. My buddy ended up with a great dane named Sophie. She was also abandoned, and she too is having a much better life now. She is a charm, just like Whiskey! 2:26 really shows his character.

Cool truck! I was into RC cars and trucks 20 years ago and I haven't I haven't paid much attention to them since. When I saw the axles on that truck it blew my mind, I thought that was so cool looking.

There isn't any vent holes or foams, the tires only have "air" in them and air soft pellets for weight :D thanks for commenting! If you have more questions I'll do my best to help...

[@JustToastyy]

i got a rr 10 bomber last christmas

[@speedweigand]

Mine is sorta highly customized but it's just an Axial Wraith, I recommend your lhs if possible but online try TCS crawlers, RC4wd, RPP hobby or Tower Hobbies. It's electric... with batteries, charger and mods it'll be about $1000.00USD Thanks for watching!

[@gherrera6665]

how is it having so much trouble going through so little mud?? my erevo goes through deeper stuff with no problems

[@speedweigand]

@GTA2511 I'm very happy with it, miss having drag brake but waterproof's a big plus. If you gear too high it will cog and have current draw problems. I recommend 14-18t pins with the 87 spur on 3s... approximately 20mph top speed with oodles of torque. Thanks for watching!

I use a drywall mud mixer with 18V dewalt :D, thanks for the comment and the view! I have a new location that's by the river with real naturally occurring nastiness, hope to shoot some footage there soon with the club I I run with. The pit was originally just to get the tires wet so the rockpiles were more interesting... then it snowballed.

Yeah there's definitely some cleanup that has to be done after days like this! For the most part I just hose everything down while it's wet... Thanks for watching/commenting!

Simple Green and warm water, then I blow it off with compressed air and coat with WD-40. Allow to sit then blow it off again, I try not to force too much water or air into the bearings. Thhey have a shortened lifespan in my world anyway :) Thanks for watching!

[@heydude76]

the roosts off that thing are amazing!!!

[@speedweigand]

They don't make them much larger in a 2.2 rim, RC4WD has some that are .5" or so taller but their compound is not comparable to the G8's on the rocks and the Pitbulls don't look scale enough for me... Thanks for watching!

[@speedweigand]

I've added another 200pounds of clay since then, it's pretty sticky now. Thanks for the comment and the view ;)

The mud on the patio is the worse part, it gets everywhere. The trucks a 100% waterproof so it's just a matter of blasting it with the hose and spraying it down with WD40 afterwards. Thanks for the comment!

@RCBASHERTRUCK If it's an RTR I recommend a partial disassembly to add loctite and check for loose screws out of the box. My knuckle broke because the screw fell out, there's a video... Thanks for Watching!

[@speedweigand]

Well, I run the Traxxas motor and esc which is 100% waterproof out of the box. For years I ran my electrics inside of balloons. Now I have wp'd the receiver. To answer your question based on most current RTR's giving that they have a water resistant radio box, yes they can be spayed off with the hose. HOWEVER the battery should be removed and care should be taken to not try to force water into any of the electric bits. Let dry overnight before running and use some WD-40 on the bearings.

[@acerimmeh]

*FAKE*, this is not an RC, there is a small person in the drivers seat controlling the vehicle.

You're the first person out of 3 million to catch it!

I just posted a vid in the responses section, 2012 teaser... there's some paddle action in that. I kept stripping the hexes out of the wheels so I was having crawler Calvin of CW Crawlers make me some custom wheels... after 7 months of waiting I bought a cnc cutter and started making my own. Took a few months but I'm really happy with the outcome... 2013 will be the year of the paddle!

[@speedweigand]

@jmloudon Super Swampers are one of the most popular 1:1 offroad tires, they just work well in a variety of conditions in real life. People have been running them since the 70's. For a 2.2 rig IMO they're the most scale looking, I do wish I had some of RC4WD's TSL Boggers to test in this muck. The Bogger is king when it comes to mud.

[@Frag-Adapt]

i need the link for the tyres too.

[@speedweigand]

The tires are Proline 2.2 Super Swampers

[@MakerVerse]

+ThePbstar224 You crazy? That is the funniest thing I've ever seen! When you buy it, you expect to have fun it, no matter how, and it gave me a lot fun by just watching lol, much more fun instead of driving around doing nothing... :) Another good thing is because you can see how it is powerful before really buy it.

[@ThePbstar224]

+Daniel Queiroz you crazy? Driving through some mud in a straight line is dumb as shit. Try driving on a track with jumps.

[@MakerVerse]

ThePbstar224 I dont really like jumps that much as I like mud, But I agree with driving in straight line it could get boring eventually although, keep in mind this is not just easy to build that in your backyard

[@TheBaconator2121]

+ThePbstar224 Are you seriously gonna drive a trail vehicle like this on a track with jumps or even a track in general? Thats IDIOTIC!

[@speedweigand]

Haha the goal is to get stuck! lol Thanks for the kind comments and watching!

[@speedweigand]

Thank you sir! I appreciate your comment ;)

[@speedweigand]

Steve is a beast, dead of winter and he was driving around with no shirt!

[@speedweigand]

I would love to go to a TTC, might just have to have one around here. The guys around here though have crawlers and wouldn't dream of getting them dirty. 10 minutes? I've driven in that box for days man. I live in the city, so after work lets say I have an hour to kill, I can either drive 45minutes and look for mud or step out back and play in the box. If I lived in the sticks I'd have much better videos no doubt. Thanks for watching though! Check out the suspension testing vid from the river.

[@TheAmericanUhate]

ohh wow, I missed that one and I been waiting on it for almost 2 years now! I even wrote traxxas to build it but they didn't listen to me lol.. Thanks for letting me know, I appreciate it!

[@speedweigand]

Yeah I know but it freakin looked cool :D I didn't think it was going to become a permanent fixture in my backyard either, and the ole Blue was barely 90days old. New toy, new mud, new camera with 60fps capability, new editing software,... at least it doesn't have 300 different flipping, twisting, exploding transitions! I sure as hell never expected 1.2million views... I made it so my friends could watch. I thank you for watching and commenting, hope you subscribe. Cheers! Speed

[@speedweigand]

Thanks, It's about 60percent clay at this point... I mix it in a 5 gallon bucket, 3-4gal at a time with a drywall mud mixer. In this video after adding 15 gallons of muck I topped it off with water and let it settle 24hrs for that virgin look :D

[@speedweigand]

Wow... I can't believe a million views! I thank each and every one of you... Speed

[@speedweigand]

@TheNerofiend :D I used to put "powered by VXL" but my titles are really long to start with. I think Wraith VXL sums it up nicely, If I were running the Castle 1410 I would probably call it the Wraith 1410, not saying that's right...that's just what I say. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@speedweigand]

I did the math and if a real one weighs 4000lbs then I have a scale 841hp's ;) I don't crawl much really, usually I'm blasting up hills and wash outs. Thanks for commenting!

[@EBthere]

First time seeing this and it was awesome! Love your setup!!

[@minizchannel]

Nice video !!! Is funny to see Axial Wraith + D.Hasselhoff... in the mud!!!

[@speedweigand]

Via Wiki - Mud bogging (also known as mud racing, mud running, mud drags, or mudding) is a form of off-road motorsport popular in Canada and the United States in which the goal is to drive a vehicle through a pit of mud of a set length. Winners are determined by the distance traveled through the pit. However, if several vehicles are able to travel the entire length, the time taken to traverse the pit will determine the winner. Hmmm that sounds just like what we have here.

[@8oWL3RBOY6]

This is one of the best RC muddin videos i have seen! Great job! I will be getting an axial wraith or ax10 soon!!

[@speedweigand]

Thanks... and thanks for watching!

[@speedweigand]

With the tall tires I can only really run up to 20/87 before the motor overheats, but it'll goe @25mph. You have to keep in mind the weight of the Wraith 540 motors were intended to push around typical 1/10 scale RC's which normally weigh @5.5lbs or less. I'd consider Blue light at 8lbs, RC's in the 8lb range are typically 8th scale 4wd buggies usually powered with a 550 sized motor and 4-6s. Blue weighs 16lbs after a couple of passes and at the end of the day pushes 20lbs

[@speedweigand]

Thanks! I kinda have. I use the wand off of a pressurized sprayer, I have it adapted to my garden hose... I have so much unedited footage it sickening.

[@speedweigand]

It's geared 16/87 so not quite 20mph... Thanks for watching!

[@speedweigand]

I'm going to need a translator for this one... Thanks for watching!

[@speedweigand]

Slashes are pretty tough! Thanks for watching!

[@speedweigand]

Thanks! and thanks for watching

[@speedweigand]

@jenrexty Thanks! Damn I was hoping you were close. the body's made out of .010" aluminum sheeting, little thicker than a pop can. Wish I could justify the boggers, I'd love to see them in the pit. I'd rather spend the money on some paddles!

[@Steele006]

Nice Wraith man, I like your set-up.......and your dog cracks me up! lol

[@speedweigand]

Probably more... he never has to work on it! Thanks for watching =D

[@speedweigand]

@ace9213 I need to put together a highlight video just of the dog, he might be more popular than the Wraith :D Thanks for watching!

[@speedweigand]

Thanks! Whiskey's 100% pure mutt :D best guesses are Beagle-Chow, he has black spots on his tongue, spotted feet and is basically the size of a Beagle. Sometimes he's hopelessly too smart for his own good. He mastered the magnetic latch on the treat cabinet when he was about 3 months old. He also looks a lot like a Corgi, someday I'll spring for a DNA test. Doesn't matter to me, he is my best buddy... I'm glad some asshole abandoned him so I could find him, they didn't deserve such a great dog!

[@speedweigand]

Thanks for watching btw!

[@speedweigand]

I'm not sure what you said but thanks for commenting :D

[@speedweigand]

Dude you got me, I laughed out loud and woke up the dog :D Thanks for commenting!

[@speedweigand]

20 steps to the fridge :D Thanks for watching!

[@lilrzrdriver]

Hey, man, this is one of the greatest rc video's of all time, i really like it. make more!

[@speedweigand]

Yes and no, mine is worse than normal. I run the sweet RC4wd ARB diff cover and to make the letters rightside up you have to flip the diff gears. Doing this couples the rotational force of the motor and trans turning, and the torque of the axles in the same direction. Stock the forces are countering each other so the twist is much less severe. Now days I run a rear swaybar to correct this. I could flip the gears back but I like how it pulls the left front up first just like a real one. Thanks!

[@speedweigand]

I have HD gears in the diffs and Robinson gears in the trans so there isn't too much drama these days, occasionally I'll twist off a rear driveshaft... but I still run Wraith shafts with the double female mod and an aluminum spacer inside not MIP's or Maxx shafts. I'm building a dedicated Wraith Foffer and it will be sporting Maxx shafts.

[@426dirtbike]

i have never been into crawlers but i like the vid. keep up the good work, people just hate cus they cant afford that beast

[@losisupertruck04]

Awesome Wraith man it looks awesome. And also you have an AWESOME dog

[@Tj1056]

this rc 4x4 is awesome... it actually slings mud unlike most others

[@speedweigand]

@caleb83fj40 Good to know on the compound, as far as the slipper goes it's cranked down almost all the way, been considering the slipper from a Scorpion, looks more like sand paper. After I washed off the 3 1/2 pounds of mud it was all back to normal lol

[@benvk4080]

The dog likes the car as much as you do

[@netwt42oz]

good old recognizable sound of a vxl in the mud.

[@speedweigand]

:D Thanks for watching!

[@speedweigand]

Yep everything is either waterproof from the manufacturer or has been waterproofed by me by setting in epoxy resin, search my how to w/p a MMP vid to see how. Of course mud ruins bearing and stuff so it's not immune to maintenance but electronically it's fine to get wet.

[@speedweigand]

Thanks for watching!

[@speedweigand]

Working on it for the new one... bought 200lbs of clay powder from the pottery store >8o

[@speedweigand]

Thanks! Most of these guys don't appreciate that the fridge is 25 steps away ;)
