man thats ballsy id hate to see a wreck out there lol

[badmojo]

yeah I got to ride a snowmobile one time a while back, I did some jumps but never thought hey lets take it to the nearest pond or lake and try to cross it, forget that noise, to cold to be a water mochassin. then I see the dudes this year at the winter xgames on espn doing back flips, man they have some big grapefruits to pull that off, I mean what if you don't make it.

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

thats a whole lot of sled to be whipping around lmao

[Traxxas_Junkee]

Actually you would be surprised. They don't have any electronic motor parts on sleds, maybe some of the new fancy ones, but my uncles friend fell through the ice a few years back, all they did was pull it up flush out the cylinders, put a new batt in, and fired it up, good as new. As long as you get it out soon enough you won't hurt anything. All of the gauges and stuff are analog, they were made to get wet.

[motoxer4life]

all that stuff is made to get wet. With the engine all you gotta do is rebuild it basically cause of the water build up that comes in through. I know that cause my stepdad once went into a little pond on his dirtbike and and fell and we had to rebuild it.

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

thats basically what i meant, motors arent made to go under water get wet fine but not submerged

[badmojo]

yeah you would think that if they were sunk to long it would be like dirt in a nitro engine and tear it up

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

just gotta make sure u dont start them with any water in them

[motoxer4life]

exactly y you drain it.

[tim kasper]

all you have to do is dry everything out, a big pain in the a$$.the seat is the hardest thing to dry and you dont usally have to rebuild the motor. i wont go into details but just trust me on this one.

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

i wonder what bruce thinks? lmao

[badmojo]

damn that would be a long post for sure, lmao
