Mountain on Water

[jbursey]

Any try skipping water on a RX mountain? Just wondering how they handle before I try it.

I don't know how good they would go on water but you've got to realize that if you do sink a four stroke it's gonna cause lot's of expensive problems unless you completely disassemble and clean out the engine. At roughly $6000 for all the parts for a new engine I think I'd get a two stroke for that, Ken.

Skipped across acouple of open creeks because I had to. Don't want to run it across too much open water as I have a rear mount turbo and wouldn't want to suck water in my intake. Don't think you would have any problems, unless you sink it, like givemeaboost says, moocho daniero!....Good luck

just as good as my 2 smoker was in the water

After about a few kilometers and lots of turning, enough water snuck into the bellypan to cause to clutches to slip a bit. This was in shallow water and I would not try it in deep water unless I sealed up the side panels better.
