The SurRon will handle water far far better than the Ubco. Ubco have tiny wheels, the insignificant suspension travel means the two wheel drive can't really do its job properly, and those tiny wheels kill it in lumpy terrain. Water up to the axle, and its good night nurse for the elece motors

    Otherwise just go a reliable quad.

    These are awesome. I've spent some time on a mates one in chch. We did temporarily kill it driving through water, but unplugged a particular sensor and it was fine after that.
