ok, have you ever seen that TLC monster machines episode on 4x4's with the hill climbers. Well there are these kick ass 4x4 hill climbers with about 800 hp can rocket up this huge hills with ease. I found that atonishing. then they showed them hydroplaing across lakes with them deep ass tread sand tires. Im thinking about getting some for my t-maxx and trying it out. but do you think it will work?but not lakes, mud puddles. has any one ever done it. i bet if i got going like 20 mph and guned it before the puddle to make the wieght go in the back and keep it at full thorottle i bet i could make it across a 10 ft mud puddle. has anyone every done this? i bet it would work alot better with a 4wd stadium truck.

i did it with my 2wd rc10gt...i drove through a stream and yea i was fine, the stream was like 4 inches deep and 10 feet wide.[&:]

ive driven up as mud hill before that was like almost like going straight up and i only had my truck as a rearwheel drive.

vizaracer what the hell are you talking about?

i dont really know? lol. i misread the question. sorry about that. what i should have said: ive driven my monster truck through shallow creek, about 5 inches, and the truck seemed fine. if your gona be in the water just make sure to waterproof all the electronics

ya i plan on doing that b4 i try it would prolly work better if you could air up your tires but does any one have a video of them doing this i would like to see a video--RC VIDEOS ARE THE ****!!

Please use proper punctuation, grammar, and spelling in the forums. This thread is very hard to read. Thank you.

Yes I agree punctuation sure is important because without it its really hard to undrestund whtyour exactly saing.

What I really wanna know...

Can I take my TC3 up to 60Mph.. hit a body of really cold water (more density) and get away with "Driving on the water"??
Wouldnt that be cool as hell!!
We could actually walk on water too.. but we need to accelerate ourselves to somewhere near Mach 1 to accomplish that (its a fact)

And I'm wondering what kinda tires I'd need to keep the water from sticking to the tires!!
Oh well.. random thought anyway

What is the question about? Hydroplaning? ***** ? Why would you want to do that? I guess it would be fun but.....

There has been a thread on this before. I think the general idea was that you need speed, power, a nearly flat entry level, and paddle tires.

dude im talking going like 40 ft acros like 2 ft deep water. that would be cool

The problem with going that far would be power. Water has some serious drag on an engine and trying to go 40ft would bring the rpms way down. Maybe with a 4-stroke at full speed, you'd have enough torque to keep the rpms all the way up.
