ever since i saw [link=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3P3JxuMagBc]this[/link] and [link=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWnH30yiyQ4&feature=related]this[/link] ive wanted to make my savage do that. from listening to that guy and reading up about it i wanna try it.
i figure ill need to do this:
big ass sand paddles
nitrous injection
probably 3rd gear
aerodynamics tuning
the best part about nitro is you can water proof the electronics so if i loose it it wont be that big of deal to fix it(motor is crap want to get picco .28)
i might sound crazy but i want this soo bad. every time i look at a puddle i shiver thinkin about this.
What makes you think that only nitro cars can be waterproofed?

that tamiya didnt hydropane across the water did it??[8D]
true, but i bet you that an electric has a better chance of going across water anyway, electrics rule. IMO. And electrics can stand water just as well as nitro if not better if your not an idiot. All you need is some liquid rubber and corrosion x. bazaam, water proof. Motors dont need to be water proof either so that leaves the receiver, which is also on nitro so i would prolly know what your talking about before you (attempt to) correct someone.
Yeah electric is defiantly better. It's much easier to waterproof, and if it DOES sink you can drive it back because it doesn't need to breathe. Nitro will drown underwater, and the engine will fill with water, which is bad for it, and the engine might need to be taken apart.
But if you HAVE to drive in water with nitro, I would recommend a snorkel. The only problem is, you would need a 34 foot long snorkel.[sm=drowning.gif]
i dont have an electric. all i have is a nitro. its not a big deal if it goes under. i want a new motor anyay. this ones life has been shortened way too much by bad habbits
