The Raze is electric not nitro. And I was mocking up the wheels last night. I put some electrical tape over the rims holes, rebalanced them, as well as put a small amount of thin ca glue around the bead to ensure their seal.

I am playing off the idea that the front will unload allowing the front to stay up out of the water a bit more.

I am going to redo the f/r diffs with 100k to lessen the sides from pulling and steering me off coarse.

I have some plexi glass that I am going to fab up a hull for the front. I may use some lexan or whatever I can find.

I still need to go to the store and pick up some balloons, though most of the electronics are already waterproofed using some form of liquid tape / plastidip I still want to take an extra precaution. Especially with the lipo.

I was originally planning to add some floatation devices to the inside of the chassis to aid in the "Oh S**t" scenario, but now I am thinking of going with the string and go fishing idea.

I appreciate all the ideas and support guys, I am really getting excited about finally going through with this.
