someone has built one already.. it looks real too

anything is possible. You could make a full size car RC with the money and time.

It would be easiest and probably cheapest to take an old 4 wheeler and RC it. A big hydro pump to power the steering would be most efficient and powerful. Dont blame me when it runs away from you and destroys something. Bigger is dangerous.

Very true and in this case it can be done if you have the abilitys!

Very, very true.. LOL

Possible? Yes.

But I hope you have deep pockets.

You probably wouldn't be using any parts that the crawlers on this website use (axles, chassis, shocks, links, motors...etc.) aside from the radio system.

Good luck, if you decide to go for it.

I think it would be really cool to do. The biggest problem will be motors. The only thing I can think to use would be those nifty hydraulic pump motors that the gangsta's use.

motors out of those scat carts that handicap people use. i've seen those things carrying some pretty hefty people.

 

[gotmuddy]

Ohya, never thought about that. A buddy of mine has one of those wheelchairs and it will do like 10mph.

Anythings possible if you've got the ambition and funds to back it.

How bout a 1/2 scale crawler ,although not RC,with the right stuff it could be :lol:

yeh i helped build an indoor mountain bike park last year and this winter and we had two those scat carts with trailers on them and thats what we used to haul lumber around. I'm talking like 3 6' pieces of telephone poles, rocks, 20-30 2x4's. They are actually pretty amazing.
