    At first I thought you had something heavy in the back of the machine, to make it sit level in the water, then I realized that it must be the tracks causing the front of the machine to lift up.
    Very impressive, they swim very well. Better than I thought they would.
    I did have mine in the water swimming around a bit, but I never had much of a chance to do much.
    Driving of the Dock there was an interesting touch, lol.

    Hey RD...I haven't had a chance to drive a response or conquest in the water with the rubber belted track and so am looking forward to hearing how yours swims...

    Driving off the dock was a bit of a risk...I actually figured I would sink it (if you watch real close you can see that I paused for a second right befor I turned down the bank onto the dock and threw my cell phone out) all in the name of research and development...lol.....i was really surprised how well that machine would swim with the new track changes and it was very confident inspiring in the water :-). Was pretty amazed that it did it so easy and didn't even get much water up on the hood....I was thinking of what it might be like to drive off an ice ledge into open water which I consider pretty high risk

    Ha
    I was watching that vid and thinking to myself................
    "That looks like Tim in the drivers seat". I wasn't sure though, as I was watching on a small screen.
    I did notice the pause, but did not see you ditch the phone, good idea.
    I will make sure to get some vid and review the water performance as soon as the water softens up around here.
