Looking for a cheap way to get my tires off the shelf for long term storage. What does everyone else do to achieve this?

Finally got the lights and wheels installed on my TRX4M Defender. Had to see how it looked on a morning beach crawl.

I continue to improve my low-budget modular RC racetrack

My latest build, Rick & Morty themed, based on Milli.wtf's Crumb body. 😎🤘

After sitting on the financial sidelines for a year or so I pulled the trigger on a open box huina 1580, so happy with it.

Sorry about the shaky camera, im still not quite used to driving while filming!

Loose wood chunks are more trouble than you would think

I have a Scx10.3 K10 that’s brand new and hasn’t been ran much, I got it for Christmas with a 3s hard case spectrum battery. I’ve run the truck In snow once about a month ago and it was fine, this past week I took it with me to a fresh water lake on a school trip. I had it in the water on some rocks to get some photos(like the ones shown) and after doing so it drove fine for around 5 minutes before coming to a complete stop. Lights on, steering functional but no throttle response. I then tried to roll it thinking I had somehow hydro locked the motor, it did lock up so I thought it was that but as soon as I unplugged it and plugged it back in, it seemed to work and while being unplugged the motor freed up. Once I plugged it back in thinking it was fine, the second it had any load on it, it would cut throttle and lock up again. I’m hoping that somebody knows what may be causing this problem. I’m not sure if it’s my ESC or my battery connector. The ESC light still comes on and connects to the transmitter which is why I think it’s my battery connector or excess moisture because I feel like if it was the connector it wouldn’t do anything at all after being plugged in. Any ideas or thoughts are appreciated!

Short preview of what's to come the vid I'm working on

I just joined this subreddit and wanted to share a few pictures of my favorite rc in my collection. It's a build nearly 6 years in the making and has turned into something I'm super happy with.

I primarily run this car in grass fields but recently discovered a nice spot for onroad speed runs so i will be seeing what kind of numbers it can put up soon. My goal is 100mph but i have no idea if it will get there. The old set up managed 83mph before I had to let off but I think it had more in it.

Thanks for looking!

Injora Buggy in action, towed in by the trusty RGT Land Commander. What a session! 🤘

Ive been working on a new build and just wanted to share it. I decided to build a dual motor crawler and chose the rhino W1. I was trying to stay low on the budget and chose two hobnywing 3530 sl 1700kv motors and two am32 40Amp escs for a little over 100 bucks. I had to build a skid from the ground up using tinkercad. So far its been working great and been a blast to drive. The amount of torque is insane.
