I bet that was fun to clean

Do you have a drag brake on? Seems like it doesn’t coast easily.

There a massive utility sink at work.

Rinse it off. WD-40. Back to bashing!

Not sure. haven't check castle link, but I don't recall it being on.

If there's not any Drag Brake, its probably from the Extra 6 pounds in weight of the Mud inside on the Chassis. And/Or the Drive train has become toast.
I would have to do an immediate complete 8 hour rebuild/teardown over a few days with my Mojo, after every run, if I bash in the wet like this.
Been there. It is fun, no doubt.
Just didn't like being a slave to the cleaning time involved and the potential/inevitable corrosion, and the money spent on replacing electrics and all the BB's too often. So the fun wore off real quick in the wet for me. I rather have fun watching others do this. And many do.
@The_Otherside, Nice video.


Edited.

OG bearings and drive train from when I got it.

2 winters under its belt

^^^ How many packs you got through your Mojo so far??
You must be doing something right.
I liked watching your video, just that when it ended, I was getting PTSD, thinking about all the after run maintenance....

Clean up is easy. It's drying it off as fast as possible, that is time consuming. Sitting for an hour with a hair dryer sucks.

Very rare that I will run in the wet. Especially mud. Like once every 3 years if that, depending on the rig..
And it is only and always the last run just before I know that I will need to rebuild the rig anyway, when it is due for it. Doing a complete tear down and rebuild. New BB's and all.
I only run my Crawler's in the wet and mud and through streams regularly. Not my fast BLX bashers, as a rule.

Ooof... 70-100? If I had to guess? Lol.

I spray everything with foaming Simple Green, let sit for 60 seconds, light brushing with a 360° brush, rinse off, coat it in WD-40 and walk away!

I wish I had luck doing it your way. I would live in the mud and be bashing a lot more through bad weather and all.
I Just never do.
So my Crawlers get all the abuse now.
