Cleaning off-roader…
I’ve not had an off roader for many many years, I forgot they got dirty. Especially in winter.
Today I decided just to clean off the e-savage with the hose, and it worked great. It had already got pretty wet, so I thought it couldn’t come to much harm.
I also decided to check the waterproofing. The speedo got a bit of clear silicon around it’s openings, and the radio box was already pretty dry inside, which is nice, just added a bit of blu-tak here and there.
The e-savage also seems to come with some sealed bearings, the most exposed ones seem to be. It’ll be interesting to see how they stand up to mud, puddles and hose abuse.
List of things to do on it:
Fit alloy servo horn.
Rebuild shocks, new o-rings, oil.
M3 bolt mod on shock bottoms.
Rewire fans with sockets and switch.
Fit UBEC.
Fit 2.4 receiver.
Source cells to add 2 cells to existing 2x6cell packs, cheating, but cheap.
Reinforce bodyshell, rear holes are splitting already.
