Nice weathering bro!

[@caseyjonessnr1200]

Excellent video. Very nice driving style and lovely camera angles. I rather like the guitar music, it seemed to add another dimension to the video.

[@rootmanpoet]

Thanks a lot! I'm always glad to hear, that someone is gaining something from my videos.

[@phiraphonnabangchang2911]

Perfect

[@rootmanpoet]

Thanks and have a nice day.

[@number8485]

Amazing! Strange uniform though!

[@rootmanpoet]

Thanks, you're right- Some of them wear anything, as long as it fits.

A German soldier enjoying a drive in his captured American jeep... this actually happened quite often in WW2. Thank you for bringing a moment like this to life. Cheers from Ireland! Subscribed ;)

[@meshall9586]

Love your videos, the atmosphere created by the shots, the surroundings and music...great stuff. Thx for sharing.

[@rootmanpoet]

Thx a lot Me shall! All the best for your narration!

[@jonmandelbaum5395]

Aside from color, stripping some of the military accessories, changing the wheels and tires, and putting in drivers and passengers, what other mods have you made to it?

[@rootmanpoet]

Most important- The shocks, which are pretty stiff. Some use different oils, check put videos. I prefer to use proper springs instead of oil. One of the two rubber rings can be skipped too, that brings a fluent and soft move into the axles. My shocks are: XUNJIAJIE 90mm Shock Absorber Set on amazon

[@jonmandelbaum5395]

@@rootmanpoet thanks for the tip. Can’t seem to get that brand on American Amazon.

[@rootmanpoet]

@@jonmandelbaum5395 Yes, possibly the same under different brand. They are firered and whole metal. But the stockshocks can do a lot better too. With springs and just one little rubberring each.

When you really, really, just want to get home…

[@rootmanpoet]

Yes you want, but then you are fighting the mud...

[@JoeOvercoat]

@@rootmanpoet Such is war.

[@benjamincloutiermainerc]

Did you haft to waterproof this before you took it in the water

[@rootmanpoet]

Yes in every aspect. Axles, RC, gears, and a brushless motor. But htat doesn't protect the bearings. It's a fight against all kinds of problems, but for me worth for the filming.

[@benjamincloutiermainerc]

@garduel I thought so I record as well and when I first started the hobby my first rc died in a puddle two minutes after I read water proof on the box I have the rochobby 1.12 willys jeep and it's capable don't like tall grass too much lol non of them really do but I love mud and water so I marine greased all the parts axels bearings and gears moter only thing I haven't done is take out the esc and after proof that yet

[@michaelebersole6989]

Do you seal your battery befor going thru water like that?

[@rootmanpoet]

Yes sure, Michael. Not only the battery an it's controlplug, all the electronics too. Water can harm the gearboxes, the diffs, motor etc. But I do care for it, in order to make this possible for Sina & Egon.
