    Engage Offroad long travel front and rear with some fat tires.
    the tires look so cool... wonder if they will be any good or just eye candy like the other BFG tires they made for the Slash... they didn't hook up well for me in the dirt...

    Yeah resistant, not proof. I believe the ESC is waterproof, but that's it. No bombing through puddles and shit with the Yeti compared to the Slash

    Body is an RC4WD Trail Stomper I think? Chassis was a JK I believe, 11.3" was the wheelbase. I saw a badass FJ Cruiser on a Facebook crawler group and built my own short WB FJ:
