We fooled around a bit with the Element Gatekeeper crawler build today in preparation for a tire testing session tomorrow. Surprising as to how warm it was in the backyard today, with tomorrow's expected temps to be even warmer at 118. My guess is that the sandstone will be about 150 degrees by 4pm tomorrow.

Oh no way. I'm wired far too tight to deal with mud. Yuck...... My OCD absolutely will not allow it.
I'm the same way. It's just the risk of seeing how far I can push it before I get stuck or the will to skip and slde overweight it. Wheels our is less cleaning. 🤣😁🫠🙃

I knew your temps would be gettin' up there. We should hit 115° tomorrow.
Do you ever feel like your tires are made out of gummy worms? 🤣

I'm quite interested to see what they do tomorrow. Have a set of Dlux Fab goats, medium compound, and a set of JConcepts Megalithics.
 
The electronics are Holmes Team SS outrunner, Crawlmaster V3, and Reefs servo; those seem to be fine. The battery is a cheap Tatu 3s lipo, and it didn't swell.

That said, it's nothing I'd suggest doing frequently.!
