George ,
Thanks for finding the video that mad_max_500cc posted on Utube .
That saved me from trying to find it .
This trick REALLY increases the water speed of the Max II a lot , when compared to just sitting in the tub with the rawhide III,s half way under the water . I would not say doing this makes your water speed as fast as a Max II with Frontier tires on it , but its a whole lot faster than a Max II with rawhide III,s driven the normal way in the water .
