yeah, I liked the fact that at the end when you backed off of it, the shocks just extended and all was well. Almost like Ralph said "is that all ya got?" :lol:

This is how These "vendors" should show the design strengths of there chassis . I'm sure others would fold.:shock:

I know I would not do it with my hustler .:-(

I did it the other day with a Hustler and the chassis held up just fine, no bends or damage at all. I had planned to do it again today but I've been busy running my 5BSS all morning. Now that I see JIA's vid... what's the point. :lol:

If a chassis is well built it will withstand being run over no problem. I will eventually get a pic of a Hustler under the wheel of a heavy rig, but right now I'm going back to run another tank through the 5B. ;-)

Didn't go the wuss route and do just the frame...ran over the entire RTR rig.

It's unharmed...not even a bent shock shaft. :flipoff:

:shock:
I dare you to drive him off a cliff.:lol:

My goal for my next tuber is to be able to just be pounded upon by anything, I know for a fact that I will need to go solid steel.

oh and DAMN, Ralph is a beast

Why am I reminded of the "hit me" scene from Raging Bull? :lol:

Too bad there's a nuclear-testing ban. I think that's the only thing that could really hurt him.

I'm pretty sure the twenty ton press would do some damage.
