They've had that out on the market for a number of years. Maybe they've tweaked it a little in the past couple of years but it's still not as cool as Todd's water rocket cars because his are made by his own hands.

thanks US Water Rockets
Its a pretty clever design. I had a look at antigravityresearch's wrocket car and was trying to work out what it was that is keeping it on the ground. The cradle when looking front on in the video .. looks like it would give lift .. I see they mention in the instructions to add weight behind the yellow bumper at the front to keep it on the ground, so that must cancel any lift from the cradle.
Also the rear fins seem to have slots in them to possibly create a twisting force, maybe this is pushing those rear fins / stabalisers onto the ground, i did see it lift the same front skid a few times, maybe the torque from the twisting force did this.
Have to give credit to these guys though, its a good solution that tracks pretty straight and is fast ...
