I remember seeing real 1:1 monster trucks doing this on TV like 10 years ago. I don't think I'll be doing it any time soon, but it's pretty neat watching someone else try it.

If he has it waterproof'd why is it so stupid / retarded??
You cant hate a guy for tryin something new.
It never died out..it never sank..all it did was get wet.
Actually he drove it better on the pond ,then he did on the land.
With the receiver box in a condom,and siliconed servos,there is almost no chance of destruction.
I appreciate guys like that tryin new stuff.
Like the guys at SMF tryin a ski jump...sure its crazy,but its crazy cool!
We need guys like those!
Lead...follow...or get the F* out of the way!
lol

my savage almost went for a swim.... it rolled down a hill towards a lake when my brakes malfunctioned and my first reaction was to chase it and stop it instead of simply turning but i saved it in the nick of time.

It's unique indeed... did anyone noticed the 4 wheel steering at the last 30 sec of the vid? or was it a broken rear end...

hmmm... lets watch that again.... I think it is 4 wheel steering....

What do you think??
