[@uan588]

Vunedabar. Man I seriously dig it.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks!

[@ronclements2002]

Love the square body

[@jamiepetrakovitz4238]

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

[@scalebuildersguild]

😂 thanks!

[@darkhorsegarage9623]

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!

[@randyaguililla6963]

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

[@_The_Worst_]

Oh yeah, that's real dirty...🤘🏼🤪💯✔️

[@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 👍

[@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!

[@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. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@jasondionne1214]

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

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@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!

[@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!

[@jimmccabe801]

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

[@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

[@supercool793]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@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!

[@Albertotron]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@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!!

[@thman6453]

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

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@rustynail2188]

Very very nice. I started a lifted K5 just a week before yours went to video. You got me to change my tires. As always great video!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Glad I could help, and thanks for watching!

[@adonis3543]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!!!!👍👍👍

[@Hoosierdaddyjones812]

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

[@saturnfivehynrgrc581]

Good video Matt. The wipers (for video's sake) add a nice detail. The tires seem too self-clean really well. I'm not a mud guy but do appreciate the effort you put into the project. As always job well done. Cheers!!!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks 👍

[@reconrc1787]

Fantastic slow-mo footage. I wouldn't have wanted to get that beautiful truck dirty lol but I love watching you send them. Keep up the great content Sir.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for watching!

[@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. 😂

[@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 😭

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

WELCOME TO THE LAND OF TRAXXAS

[@jamesjohnson3650]

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

[@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. :)

[@wesmadebuilds681]

That wiper system is pretty neat!

[@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!

[@tomkrushlin]

Love your show and videos

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@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 👏…..

[@scalecrawlnl]

Awesome you try out new and different rc avenues on the channel, bashing, micro rc and this time, mudding! Truck looks right at home in the mud. As always, thank you 😎

[@scalebuildersguild]

I like trying new things and keeping y'all entertained! Thanks for watching!

[@w.p.59]

just got mine done, thanx for the videos, been helpful! I did install a winch, it is internal and the fairlead is were the front license plate is!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Glad I helped inspire. Sounds like a cool build. Thanks for watching!

[@HRWRC]

Right on👍. Gotta love a good mud video🛻

[@twanmcnasty4012]

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

[@stabbyjosh7931]

Love it! I started a mudder a few months ago, and petered out on it. I think you inspired me to finish it.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for watching and glad that this inspired you!

[@DoURC]

Brilliant video, the wipers look great and such a neat idea. Love the mud truck and it looks the business with the 2.2's. 👍😎💪 Mudding has to be one of my favourite things to do with my RC'S. 👍😎

[@gatorrcgames]

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

[@scalebuildersguild]

Cool! Thanks for watching!

[@B_Skeen]

Looks awesome, it must cause I don't like mud truck but want to build one now, lol/ Stuffing in some wider foams would make the side wall "stretch" look more rounded.

[@twisterzman]

I HATE cleaning mud. That being said... Damn you! Lol.. now I need to build one! That thing is absolutely awesome! Style, execution, cinematography on point as always,. Its perfect, Matt. It really is.

[@scalebuildersguild]

I'm not a fan either. My wife would add that I'm not a fan of cleaning in general, so there's that 😂. Thanks for watching and if you buy one, have fun!

[@octanen2o]

Great cinematography bro can’t wait to get my new trucks out

[@scalebuildersguild]

Have fun!

[@tylersuteau7238]

I never wanted to get my RC muddy until now. Great video Great build.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for the compliments and welcome to the channel!

[@PhilBender612]

If they're not that reliable , not great quality and you had to lose your Dashboard........I would say goodbye to those wipers. This truck looks so awesome. (not crazy about the lighting bolts) lol

[@calebgilmore3327]

Just finished my lmt with fling kings and a gmade Buffalo body, and building a Buffalo for some slower mudding

[@jessefoster3427]

Awesome footage as always! Stay RAD and have a Great week !

[@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!

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!

[@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.

[@8bitisthesh1telwell74]

amazing footage. and like others are saying, thank you Matt for doing it for us. mine looks sweet sitting clean on the shelf. lol seriously though the camera work was worth all the qtips and toothbrushes you're going to need. thank for sharing. oh yeah and congrats on your best Tubeworks award at Nats

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you! Don't tell my wife I used all of her Qtips AND her toothbrush 😂.
