So as it's Friday and i'm lazy whats the trick to this?  Wheel speed?  Approach speed?  Water depth?  Tyre size/tread?  Approach angle? Weight?  Combinations thereof ?

 

Would love to have a go only I'd at least like some idea of what to do before stacking even £100 odd of RC into the drink.

just speed really  if you used paddle tires you could go slower.

i thk its a bit of all of the above tbh...i`ve seen sum moto x bikes do this aswell.....:yes:

 

Cheers - will nip down the local lakes and see if there's anywhere suitable to get a run at it / get out the other side.  I only have paddles in 17mm 1/8 size so that precludes using a cheap cheerful 1:10 to begin with.  Hmmm.
