1. Can the stock ESC take lipos or shld I order the recommended NiCd batt? Which is better lipo or NiCd?
2. If I wanted this thing to go on water, what would I need to waterproof? Shld I not worry about this first and just enjoy it on dry land?
3. Read somewhere that brushed motors are waterproof but not brushless motors. That true?

Have played with an SCT but totally clueless abt running these things in mud and water! Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Tks guys and happy crawling

Hi bros out there, I'm new to RC and decided to go into crawlers. Was thinking of ordering a SCX10 Honcho too, and happen to see the bro posting the $75 off the total. Is that a discount coupon? where can I get that discount? Many thanks to bros here in advance if you guys can guide me.

hi bro, welcome. u have to input your email address at tower hobbies mailing list. wait for a few days for them to email u the discount codes.

Thanks for the reply bro! I've just joined their mailing list. will make order once I get discount code. But in the reply email that they just sent me, they didnt state that they will provide discount coupon. Anyway, why do you recommend JEEP? because of looks or?I prefer Honcho looks tho....

They'll send you another email soon, telling you how much discount you're entitled too based on what is the total amount you are going to spend. For the SCX10, because you'll be spending abv $300, you are entitled to $75 off the shipping. Just make sure you use right code number and check that the amt has been deducted before you click pay.

I actually wanted Jeep version but they didn't have it then. The Jeep is a bit more expensive but their newest. Really, it's up to you. Smile

as for local RC shops, which one holds more of crawlers stuff? i visited some and they are more into those on road racing and off road buggy racing type. Anyone can recommend me some which sells more of cralwers upgrade parts, accessories and those deco items?

Crawlers parts, accessories is very hard to get in sg. All of us got it online.
