I have had a Mamba max sitting around that I had waterproofed up so I stuck it in the Honcho and man what a difference in control and power. here are some pics and video of the water testing.

Looks like I lost the stock hook from the 3racing winch but they are weak to begin with. will be making another.

the mamba max is one of the best products ever made IMO. Its a workhorse for sure.
 
Thanks and yeah that Mamba max has taken a beating, It was in a Slash for a year racing and bashing then I took it apart plasti dipped the board and then RTV'd the case. It still works as good as day 1. That spot is a spring fed ditch 30 ft out my front door so it a test course:) BTW did you see how that 4 link bar looks like a Turd sitting on the axle? I am definately going to have to work on my bending skills:)
