I think with the servo and battery sealed up it could deal with ~8.5" of water. With the electronics box sealed up, well, it's 10" tall...

His toureg actually comes out of the water? I thought it wouldn't run unless it was submerged?

thats cool and everything but why would you want to drive under water? it seems pointless and doesn't look fun, and all the steel on you car will rust. i go mudding in mud, not water and thats fun but you have to clean the truck well when you're done. i just don't get it, but everybody to there own.

This was one of my more touchy water trips... damn 'Tot was floating(due to the current) part of the time, if it would have gone over the small waterfall(3-4ft drop) under the bridge, it would have been lost










Hackster running one of the very first Bulu chassis(7/04)....






Everyone knows that the ORCRC group loves the water Check out our videos too!

The deepest I can go is only 7" or so, then the truck floats because the tires are sealed.

Default Wel...

The deepest I am allowed is around 8" then I have to pull out because the rubber is getting tight.
