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.

$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.

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?

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

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.
