Very nice work and that is a very nice truck. How much have you spent on your Maxx and what other RC's do you have?

Ohhh... I honestly don't know how much money I have spent on the SuperMaxx. I stopped keeping track a long time ago!

The 'Maxx is the only thing I use regularly, but I also have some vitage stuff. Here are some Jerobee 1/12th scale cars from the late 70's / early 80's. I 've started collecting them because the first 'real' RC I ever had was one like the NIB orange bodied one:



I also have a couple of other old cars like I had when I was a kid. Actually these are the ones I has a kid. Amazingly enough, I found the at my LHS more than a decade after I sold them! On the left is a Kyosho Turbo Scorpion from the early 80's, and on the right is an MRP Pro-110 from the mid 80's:



Here's my original big block 'Maxx from before I had the SuperMaxx:

BUT this isn't the first R/C to pull a truck.

Electric Clodbusters rigged for pulling have been doing it for 15 years already. And special built pulling R/Cs have been doing it for 20 years. They have a yearly championship to do just this thing.

Heck my RS4 MT pulls my friends on their rollerblades quite easily.

And RCCA had a stock OFNA Monstr Pirate, and a stock Tmaxx pull their guy Kevin Hetmanski around in a wagon.

You should find out where the next Monster and Pulling Nationals are and take your truck.

I wasn't thinking about setting records or being the first to do anything... I just wanted to see what I could get the 'Maxx to move. I saw this little cart thing at the auto parts store yesterday. It would be perfect for hauling everything around when I go out bashing, but even better to sit in and pull myself there!

You're going to go bashing AND have your R/C take you there.

Imagine the stares from other people.

Just Xtreme, RC Car, and RCCA. I was going for a hat trick!

Also, the S-10 is actually really roomy inside. I just wish I'd have bought an extra cab for some more room to hold stuff...
