Electrified XT8!

Hardcore racers don't normally run their good cars in condtions like that (pics above) unelss it's a big time race and you have to.

I have never seen, in person... a race in mud puddles, etc like that. I have seen it in mags etc... like in the UK... and even the 1/10 IFMAR worlds that were just run in Japan. But those guys traveled halfway around the world and had one shot to race. When our track is a lake we cancel the race cause nobody wants to annihilate their cars like that and have to spent hours cleaning them. Seriously you should tear it down completely and spray out and lube bearings, etc.. the entire car... after a race like that.

That's what a basher vehicle is for.

But I do have a background in 1/10 electric, and we don't have everything sealed up/ waterproof etc. So it doesn't seem odd to have everything "naked".

You know what cars are good for running in snow/mud crap like that? Nitros LOL!!!!

In "normal" race conditions... our clean "unprotected" rides are perfectly fine. In your race condtions, I would fire up a nitro. :)

Edit: BTW, a buddy and I have a blast running his RTR 1/8 buggy at our track one day when it had huge puddles all over. We had to keep stopping every few laps to wring out the air filter, lol... It was completely soaked and covered in mud, and he took it to the car wash when we were done. We were laughing pretty good. But we would not do that with a good race car, even a nitro one.

Ofcourse its not for electric and here is nitro race but i just show sample what wheather conditions possible to drive. This is race day and like glassdoctor said we have to race. And when race started weather conditions been much better just to the end of race day its like on pic.
Anyway i told my point.
