I have one that i have fixed up a little for rock crawling. really low geared with some low rpm, high torque motors that dont use much battery. I can run it for 30 minutes at least on one battery. I also put my sister(15y/o) on a creeper and pulled her out of the garage with no problem with mine with about 1lb of weight added on the front. They are fun to mess with. Just another expensive hobby of mine

Very cool.

I was into those for a while, a guy down the street from me was into them BIG TIME. Dude had a track set up in his back yard, went to the events and all.
The first one they showed jumping is awesome!
Also, the one crawling over the parking blocks was neat too.

Ya, I wanted to get one for a little bit. But relized that they are way to expensive. I've got enough expensive toys($2000 bike). They look like a lot of fun.

That think must be geared really low to pull a 15 year old around.....or she must be really light. How bout pictures of it pulling her around if you know what I mean.

That kind of talk around here is not tolerated at all, and will stop NOW.

Easy on my sister now guys . She has an 18 y/o 320lb 6'3" brother to protect her too I also forgot; i have pulled my buddy around with it in his wheelchair. He weighs probably 250lbs give or take, and it will pull him right along on flat ground. I can probably get some video if you guys would want to see it. It is really low geared. About 5mph tops. It will about break the axles before it will stall the motor though if it gets in a bind. Im gonna lock the differentials soon, and maybe put some bigger tires/rims on it later.

Those must be tough cars. Some take big jumps and hard hits.
