New Project Mercedes Unimog Water Dog!

[TexasSP]

I like those mojave wheels, just don't think they fit the project. I am really liking the hummer wheels best for the look I want so they will probably win.

Good job on the hi-lift linc, needs some pics or video next time......

I am just really liking the idea of a smaller waterproof RC truck I can run anywhere.

Linc, I have seen a lot of guys 4 linking the hi-lift and wonder if you had considered it? I almost picked one up the other day off of rccrawler for 300 but was a few minutes late. Sucker was mint with a futaba attack 4ch radio. I have seen the the 4 links greatly increase the performance of the hi lift.

Yeah, the 4 link would definately make the truck perform better. I just like bashing this truck, and the simplicity is great for practicing waterproofing. This is really a test as I am building a 2.2 scale truck with a Navigator body... That will be fully waterproof and use a emaxx tranny with a pair of lathe motors. I have found that power is very important when driving underwater.

I am also looking into doing a 1.9 scale truck, going to use my cr-01 as a base and build a chassis. The cr01 axles are too wide (they will go on the 2.2 truck I mentioned above), but I have a potential set of tlt axles that I may be able to score real cheap. I have a blackfoot body that I plan on making into a long bed to match my 1.1 f250. I will leave the cr01 4 link on this truck, and it should be a decent performer.

I will have pics of the highlift soon, still need to work out the bugs and add some weight to the front rims. Some holes in the tires would be a good idea too, let the water out. Also waiting on the straight axle adapters for the rear. I have not bother to pack the rear axle with grease yet, don't want to get it all nasty as I have to trim the c hubs off to fit the adapters.
