The foff vehicles just floor it when they hit the water and they are 4wd, is the raze 4wd? If not I would think it's going down

I'd be accelerating from 1/2 throttle when you hit the water (this will keep the front wheels up & hopefully mitigate nosediving) & WOT FTW!!
Make sure you get video

Good point, you'll want to make sure the tires are sealed and any water can easily drain off the chassis. It might even be worth while making a belly plate, one that only leaves the wheels exposed. Drag is going to be the biggest problem.
