It's a very smelly Clod now... I did go home and drop her in the tub and hosed it down. That water was nasty (I think Fat Bastard really did leave a floater in there).

I knew, way back in 1989 or 90... Seen it in a magazine (back when RCCA was GOOD), then I tried it myself.. learned that the tires needed to be sealed good or they fill up with water and the truck sinks.... Pointed the truck to the shallow end then it just went on its own.. No water proof electrics back then and MSC.... Yup, I got wet a few times fishing the truck from the depths.. LOL

Just like real monster trucks of the era

For sure man, that's where the idea came from. I did the same thing back in 1990 give or take... But, if the tires are not sealed, it will sink in a minute or 2, back then, no such thing as water proof electrics.

Thats awesome i can't believe it Floats

Thanks Jeremy, I planed this for a while (no clue the water was going to be that nasty). The truck was ready, I was there, JUMP IN & GET IT DONE.. I was committed to doing it, so I did.

Well glued tires & plug the vent holes in the wheels... First time I seen this was in 1989 maybe... I did it cause I always talked about them floating and I wanted to show Mark (he's the guy I was telling this to). Do I recommend doing it, NO.. Any leak in 2 wheels/tires and it goes down like 10 dollar whore on payday...

Hiya brother Bob! Haha, now I know why you were gluing the tyres! 🤣🤣Hope the clean up wasn't too bad! Have a great Sunday, mate! 🤗🤗👍👍

Hiya John, There was some geese with goslings when I got there.. Birds of a feather, right? I thought I was going to go in and get the truck at one point (very early on), the water seemed to have a bit of a current. This was in part of the Eire (Barge) Canal system (Lock 29) @ 5 mins from home. I still had fun but the water was stinky and so was my truck. LOL ATB to You & Yours!!!

Dude, I found this out back in 1990 (give or take a year or 2). I also found out that, if the tires fill with water, you might be getting wet. This was at (near) the Erie Canal Lock #29. The water smelled so bad and the truck even worse when I was done.. Really mad at myself for forgetting the WD40.

Dont do this at home kids!🤣 that water looked kinda smelly Bob!😉👍anyway the Clodbuster looks fantastic as always! Thank you for sharing and have a great weekend 👍

Wow that's amazing Bob. I thought it would roll over and be floating upside down! You were brave doing that as you might have had to go in for a swim to rescue it! Good work my friend 👍

Thanks Pete, as I said in the description, I have done this before, years ago... However, doing this again, I now know why I don't do it anymore... The water was so nasty and smelly and I thought I was going to go for a dip and retrieve the truck.. Not to many RC trucks float without outside help. I think you should see if your Arrma can float.. LOL, KIDDING!!!! Don't Do It!!!!

Great stuff dude but I don't think I will ever try that with mine. However I did put my LunchBox in the pond to wash off all the mud once and it floated, did risk running it though. Once again great stuff and ATB buddy.

Brother, I did this years ago and found out fast that if the vent holes are not covered, the tires/wheels fill up with water and it sinks... Back then, there wasn't water proof electrics for RC. Cool, I didn't know a Lunchbox could float, that's awesome, a quick swim to get mud off, I shall remember this. ATB dude, stay safe & stay healthy. PS, I cut sugar out of my diet...

Truck does need some prep work to float like making sure tires are very well glued and plugging the vent holes in the wheels...
