That was a fantastic video. The speed was just right to get the water moving in a realistic way. And the rain x seemed to hold up better than the wipers. At least you can put in the dash now.

[@souledoutrc8174]

Oh man this has to be the best mud boggin rc video on KZbin by far. Love everything about this build such realistic and scale realism

[@scalebuildersguild]

Glad you liked it!

[@felixbull6738]

This is the first mud truck that I truly like (I’m more of a crawler kinda guy) Btw: I chose to watch this before the scale news update, SBG rules

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks! I'm more of a crawler guy too (obvs), but this was fun to build and drive. Btw: I'm glad you have your priorities straight re: watching my video first 😂.

[@felixbull6738]

@@scalebuildersguild yep your vid’s are the best, I always look forward to them!

[@jamiepetrakovitz4238]

You don’t need windshield Wipers…you need windshield Shovels! Nice and muddy man!

[@scalebuildersguild]

😂 thanks!

[@randyaguililla6963]

I thoroughly appreciate when somebody says they’re gonna get muddy and they’re actually in mud and not wet sand.

[@Albertotron]

LOL those wipers are hilarious. Also like how the windshield even has the wiper streaks

[@scalebuildersguild]

😂 Thanks for watching!

[@uan588]

Vunedabar. Man I seriously dig it.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks!

[@tigerone2353]

Love the slow motion it allows you time to see the suspension work and mud fly. Also love that K5 body. Whole truck looks great 👍

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks 👍

[@mitsuman5555]

The proportion of the wheels/tires/lift/body looks spot on. I have no use for one of these but this makes me want to build one just for workbench staring purposes. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@tonytusk5524]

THE SICKEST R/C MUD TRUCK I HAVE EVER SEEN!! EXCELLENT VIDEO HOSS!! KEEP YOUR VIDEOS A’COMIN, FANS LIKE MYSELF, WE WILL BE WATCHIN!!

[@jimmccabe801]

Love playing in the mud. My mud truck is based on a massaged smt10 with a 72 chevy truck body. It great fun.

[@davidchan6265]

This truck is perfect! I grew up watching the mud trucks in SoCal (Azusa Canyon) and this thing is a dead ringer from some of the trucks I used to watch. Great job!!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for watching!

[@mattabe86]

Certainly more fun for me to watch someone else take their rig mudding than to have to do so myself and clean up my own! Good stuff

[@johnhicks9929]

WELCOME TO THE LAND OF TRAXXAS

[@Stickies72]

This absolutely makes me want to build a mud truck. Was not really something on my radar but this turned out super awesome, and the wipers are a very very nice touch.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for watching and I'm glad that you it inspired you to get one of your own!

[@adamhirerc78]

Yep ,got an original scx10 chassis with 10ii axles and king fling tires ,runs on traxxas 3s velineon system,also has a blazer body painted just like the real one I used to have ,it originally had 1.9 biggers on it before I converted to new set up

[@thman6453]

For a 1 man video crew and driver you shoot some great footage 👏 👌 👍

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@TheAurabell]

I've been wanting to do a trx4 mudtruck since your first video. I'm thinkn when its time I will do the sport. love the truck man !

[@scalebuildersguild]

Good choice to keep it cheap! Thanks for watching!

[@brandonallan6807]

F'ing SWEET!!!!! Just bought this same body, arrives tomorrow can't wait. & can't wait to do all the upgrades either. Used to have a real K5 years ago & sure do miss it! Just badass all the way around, no one can argue that! Nice job!!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Cool! Enjoy it!

[@jasondionne1214]

Your a 77, I’m a 74. That’s how I remember a proper mud truck 💪🏼 Rad job Matt !

Man, gotta hand it to ya. You’re running videos never disappoint. The music and shot composition were amazing. Great job!

[@adonis3543]

Hell yeah!!! I've been waiting to see this truck in action for ages. Those beadlocks 🤤

[@coreyjohnson2100]

I'm thinking that I flippin love the license plates.

[@BlindGuyRc]

Man, sorry to keep you waiting, I know how important my comments are 😁🤣. This looks great I agree the wipers don't "need" to be there. Great work. Love mud All my trucks are built for mud and water haha. But I got my step dad's gmade sawback. Willy's style body, and leaf springs. So that may be built as a mud style truck. I'm getting a ar44 conversion kit, and what ever else I can get. Found a rc4wd winch at a flee market. But really all my rigs are built to hit mud and water.... like alot. Hahaha Great work man

[@scalebuildersguild]

Sounds like a fun project! Thanks for watching Blind Guy!

[@sletcher48]

It's the little things. Cool content....again. Thank you for your hours of work to entertain us for a little while.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank YOU for watching!

[@longtalltexanrc3358]

Absolutely fantastic video! Perfect mud for the truck made for a really great look. The tires and wheels look fantastic as well and I do not envy you cleaning it up later.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you! You're not going to help me clean it up? 😂

[@longtalltexanrc3358]

@@scalebuildersguild Oh of course I’d love to help. It’s just that you’re up there and I’m down here 😭

[@ronclements2002]

Love the square body

[@mikeman230]

You have the best wheeling video quality 👍👍

[@jdsrcs8061]

That is a cool looking rig. The wipers are kinda cool, they work just as well as the real thing in mud. Smear more then wipe, that is worth 100 scale points at your next comp!!!!👍👍👍

[@laddridgerc3828]

It would be cool if Traxxas would come out with their own functional wipers in the future for the text!

[@laddridgerc3828]

Trx4

[@l8zyate]

I picked up a used SMT10 for a mega mid truck. The body is a Ford Raptor for an Emaxx, rolling on Fling Kings powered by a Mamba X system.

[@brandaneakright6082]

Really cool video I’m finally in the homestretch on my k5 blazer, but mine went further then I originally planned. I went with full metal rock sliders and roof rack, foldable mirrors, full skid plates, interior, suspension lift kit, bead lock wheels from rc4wd and Mickey Thompson mt’s, led light kit, proline shocks, and all the detail bits and pieces. I honestly gotta say though I’m thoroughly pleased with the traxxas k5, it’s reliable and performs really well.

[@scalebuildersguild]

No complaints here! It sounds like a great build... thanks for watching!

[@brandaneakright6082]

Thanks I got some ideas from your build the went from there

[@gatorrcgames]

I turned my trx4 blazer into a mud truck as well. Great video!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Cool! Thanks for watching!

[@ginormousbones]

That looks freaking awesome. Please do more things of this nature just for fun. Old school monster truck etc. love it

[@jamesjohnson3650]

Good lookin truck!!! Turned my vs4_10 origin into my fav mud truck!

[@LEVARIOMIKE]

That camera footage was awesome!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@Hoosierdaddyjones812]

I'm a fan of those boggers tires, I have 2 sets for my scx24s now.

[@trailerpark187]

I gotta say that when the truck is coming at you that front end end perfect. Like the grill and light are perfect. Good luck cleaning that thing, lol.

[@scalebuildersguild]

I'll be using my wife's toothbrush to clean it... don't tell her. 😂

[@RcNickster709]

Oh Yeah, I thought of a mud Truck. I went a bit old school using an ax10 and Putting a Jeep Hard Body on top with big tires. Y'know the old back Garage Mud truck. Grab the dozen beer and meet ya down at the local mud-hole truck.. LMAO.. Awesome run matt. Enjoyed it. :)

[@bcochener]

Stinks about the dash/wiper conflict, but I gotta say, the wipers absolutely made the video!! I don’t know which will be worse, cleaning the rig or cleaning your shoes!

[@scalebuildersguild]

You mean cleaning mud OUT of my shoes! Thanks for watching!

[@twanmcnasty4012]

Think I'm going to pull the trigger on the trx4 Blazer the black one...😁

[@HRWRC]

Right on👍. Gotta love a good mud video🛻

[@barceloni1984]

I'm doing a mud truck build with a gen7 I picked up cheap. Keeping it on a budget though. With the servo on axle it was easy to lift to clear 2.2's. Just need to decide on a body. I like the Traxxas k5 blazer, but it costs more than I paid for the whole truck and upgrades so far. Great video though. Gave me inspiration to pull it back off the shelf and work on it a bit more. 👍

[@scalebuildersguild]

Good luck! I'm glad the video inspired you!

[@johnstroud9418]

Definitely do some weathering to the body, id love to learn some basics

[@scalebuildersguild]

I have weathering videos in the collection, so check them out!

[@FiXeL666]

I just hope you packed all those exposed bearings with marine grease... Buddy and i did do some mudrunning and half the bearings of his truck seized up. Oh just a tip: i use marine grease too as a liquid gasket between plastic parts. So far great succes. Awesome video man!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Just don't put away wet! Thanks for watching!

[@andrewsumner5388]

That was well worth the wait! I have the same truck and after watching yours get covered in mud I’m rethinking weather I should do the same lol! Great job the filming was awesome 👏…..

[@BrownSquirrelProductions]

You got me to start a trx4 mud truck build just got my lift for it. I gotta get it a little at a time. Good job you made what I want to make I just had to start with the sport model. I now have the velineon 3s system the fling king tires and lift now for body and lights

[@scalebuildersguild]

Nice! Sounds like fun!

[@BrownSquirrelProductions]

@@scalebuildersguild believe it or not the vxl3s system didn’t make it overly fast it just gave it the ability to sling some mud. I still have the ability to crawl it if I want to (with smaller tires) the fling kings make it too top heavy to crawl. I definitely suggest you do that to one of yours just for the fun of it. The trx4 can take a good beating I’m very impressed with the toughness. You will have to cross one of the wires for the brushless system to make it run backwards though. The setup it comes with is reversed.
