If you've seen the Icelandic 'forumla off road' buggies, they are so powerful they can actually drive over lakes and the like. So, what setup do you think it would take to do the same, or is it even possible, with a 1/10th off road buggy?

Well I did it way back in the late 80's with a clod buster. I glued the tires but forgot the holes on the wheels, so went halfway across the Cwmbran boating lake in south wales and sank.
