Nice, wonder if anyone would like to cut in front of one

If you (or I) can't stop in time, just smile as you go under

That is awsome!

I have a RC 4WD (Traxxas Revo) and I have modified it to be waterprove and it reminds me of this... I use a bigger tyre as well and it actualy floats the car in rivers and gives me forward / backwards as well as turing abilities....

Cheers!

G'day... I'm in the process of packing up my house as we are moving to a new place etc.... when I get a chance I will post them...

yeah, it is really cool, top speed after my mods, is about 108km/h.. running on 22.2v battery, it is a $3000 project so definately not a toy, I run both slicks tyres as well as mud terrian....

I am certain I have got it 99.99% waterprove, the last time I used it was down at the beach chasing the waves

Attached are some sample pics...
