Is this a gas powered 4x4. Can it go through thick mud through water to where that the water is up the windows on its plastic cover?

It is gas powered. It can go thru the mud but sure wouldn't recommend it. It would be hard to get it out of the bearings and stuff. I would shorten the life of the truck quite a bit. The Summit ( is electric and it will do the things you want). Have one of those and have done all of it with it.

I had this truck for 2 years. This is not a regular gasoline powered truck. It's a Nitro powered truck. You buy the special fuel at a local hobby shop for about $30 a gallon. I would not recommend taking it mudding the deep. The trx 3.3 has an air filter that will suck in all the mud and die. Furthermore, the electronic receiver is not waterproof. So to answer your question, no. Right out the box mudding that deep will likely mess it up. Look into a waterproof electric RC car.Can it be done? Yes anything is possible with money and extensions modifications.

This model is a gas powered 4x4. However, the electronics and gearbox are not water or moisture proofed. You could run it in thick mud or sand but I would swap the stock clutch with an aluminum type. Also the one way bearing slips more than I care for, which prevents you from starting it until its replaced. I still live the truck, just do preventive maintenance and it will be fine. Don't forget to break it in properly or you will hose the engine.

We have a 2013 150 HP four stroke too and it fits good. We have never left it on when it's being trailered so can't say if it will handle high speed winds but when being stored it fits great.

since it takes normal gasoline ( no mixing oil with gas) ... I'm guessing that it's a 4 stroke. It's worked very well this winter

I just love this cart. I am afraid that I can't answer your question because I have not run it over sand. I have gone through both rough and fine gravel without a problem and it can go through mud pretty well too.

It's air powered. I replaced it with a maxijet 400. It sprays pretty hard and I wouldn't put any more gph on it than that.

The tank came in very handy when we camped in a state park with no sewage. The tank is NOT difficult to maneuver, it will fit over truck ball. Tank will not rub on the ground as the wheels are big. You will not regret investing in one of these. Hope this helps.

No, I don't think so. It is not watertight. Only 2 screws hold the back cover and when you unscrew them and remove the cover, you'll gonna see the motor and plastic gears inside. Definitely cannot be used in the rain. One plus though is it has good enough power.

Small puddles of mud and water are okay, just don't go through mud that is higher than the bottoms of the axle housing. It will rust the bearings if the truck is not waterproofed. If you want to waterproof your rig, check our rc sparks on YouTube. He has a front to back video of waterproofing electronics.

Yes. This can be submersed in gas. Rated for inside and outside of gas tank.

Yes. Amazing tire that works great in mud, rain and snow. I bought a set of 5 mounted and balanced from another place. Much much cheaper than here. google "4 wheel parts"

Yes. 100%. The truck can be totally under water without a problem. I own 2 of them. Best basher out there.

I bought as advertised for an outboard two stroke application and am not sure it will work on your 4.3

I dont think so , I have had mine through mud and water, i also have used a hose on it to wash mud off. Its been two years and works fine

No this is made for a four wheeler to move around I have a small tractor I use it with , also weighs over 200 lbs when filled up

If you are asking do you need to add oil to the gas mix. No you use straight gas. So yes its a four stroke. Hope that helps.
