- Powered by a 750W 36V electric motor which drives the wheels
- Electrical source: 3 high performance gel batteries that provide 50 Ah, 900 A each
- Sprocket chain drive to transfer power to the front wheels, rear wheels powered by motor
- Smoke is created using a miniature fog machine
- Truck sound is recreated using a sound module with 2 speakers amplifying the sound
- Truck horns (2 types) are powered by a mini air compressor
- 2 fail-safes: Push button kill switch & servo protection in the event signal is lost

no words can express what i'm feeling, so i'll just leave this here.

thats a mindfuck for me as well. how does something light pull something heavy? it just doesnt make sense....

You see how the operator is standing on it for added traction?

You can push an SUV on your feet too as long as it has enough power and the human weight added traction it'll do it.

I don't think any other RC technology can ever beat this...pushing almost 600km/h

$10 says 2 dudes r standing behind the suv pushing it.
notice how careful the camera operator is with the left side of the frame, it never went past the rear of the suv when the truck was pulling it.

How the hell do they know where it's flying?

Realistically, a child could push a vehicle, if it's on flat ground. The RC has more than enough power to pull that SUV.

Can you push your car?

Do you weigh less than 400 lbs?

uhh, how about touareg towing 747


starts from 3:00

how is this a mind fuck?

Who needs a car?

But also note how the rope/cable is kept tight the entire time

when does it transform?

Sadly that RC has more torque than my Civic. :(

I love how that RC Semi is able to do something Hondas can't. hah

Unbelievable stuff in this thread!
Thanks for helping me kill 10 minutes of my day.

:cool:

the rc truck has mad torque due to electric motors. but notice the guy standing on the back, so the thing can get traction... alone it would just spin the tires..

edit: fail, this was mentioned earlier.
