That's why they call you Syco.

Mine won't for sure. Mine needs to try some Zantrex-3 diet pills...

I figured I needed something to rescue jon from the river after he get's chucked in so I pumped up the ol lst's and went for a test swim.Now I need a scale little life preserver or a inertube to pull his narrow arse back to shore.

Here is an old pic of my TXT floater. Very realistic.

Two surfers had to had to save it from floating down the river.

I just did that accidentaly last weekend.
I tried to cross a stream and it turned out deeper than it looked.

My txt-1 just floated and cruised across it! Amazing!

Well, forgot to mention that I have EVX-2 waterproof ESC and ballooned the Rx. Otherwise, I won't even have the guts to try.

Hmm.... wonder how long will it stay floating???

Necroposting I can see the Jack is floating ice cubes again 12:02 seems a little early but it's happy hour somewhere.
