Default Ways to beat my truck

Hi guys, Im getting tired of just jumping over things and people with my truck. Don't get me wrong its still really fun but i need to do other stuff also. I was just wondering if u guys could give me ideas to try out on my truck. Please be realistic but creative. I don't mind breaking my truck, to me thats the only way to have fun with it lol.

ok, flying sunday, still not sure what time.

I don't think you will be beating it if you use a parachute. if you threw it, that would be beating it. driving it off is just bashing.

hmm

What about the truck taking place of the chicken? nah, you'd get about a million pieces, just like the chicken, and i don't think it would end up being a bracelet either.

i like the sound of jumping my pool, i want to just have a nice sloping ramp, go straight up about 40 feet, then land on my driveway.


C you tomorrow or sunday,
Scott

Do some serious mudding. Waterproof the electronics and hit the mud! Even if the mud is deeper than how tall your are! Or put some floats on it and some paddle tires and hit the water!


Just buy some cheap glass and send your truck thru it WOT. Shoot it off a ramp right through the glass and get cameras everywhere and make a nice background so it looks like the inside of a building (just like in the movies). Get a bunch of cameras in there so you have many different angles. You can probably find some nice and thin glass to do it. Im not sure on the pricing though but it would make for a cool video!

Drive it through flaming hoops, or over a series of cars lined up with explosives. Or do it jackass style. hehe it might hurt though, and I dont think it would fit.

Just do something that has explosions! If you can, find a way to put some little explosives in the glass and right as you drive through it have somebody set them off but of course nowhere near the action because a piece of glass to both eyes and then one through your hand means that you cant drive your car! And there might be a little pain in there somewhere too.........

put some rocket motors on it and see how much air you can get. i would say maybe 3 Dsize engines or bigger ifyou can afford it.

get some of that fake glass stuff (or real if you want) and make a fake window or something and try to remake an action film where a car drives through glass. it would keep you busy making the props and everything i spose

Hmm...

Cover the tyres in nitro, light, and drive! (at night). This might be a bit extreme, but would look very cool.
Attach a couple of rockets to it. Point them upwards and connect securely to the chassis. Drive away and set them off (light the fuze or whatever). This MIGHT cause the truck to get a bit of air, but it would certainly give you something to repair.
Dry to drive your truck through glass at WOT (wrecked car windows etc)
Pull something with your truck (how powerful is it?), like attach a bit of rope to the back with a skateboard on the end, stand on the scateboard and drive your truck.
Cover the road in nitro or something, light and drive your truck through it.

Some of these have already been suggested, but whatever you do make sure you video it!!

if all you care about is destroying things just use a log or a brick and give me your truck. i can only assume you didn't buy these r/c vehicles yourselves.

considering nitro is designed to catch fire and the wheels are usually close to the fuel tank. wouldnt that catch fire and spread to the engine and completely ruin (if not explode) the car? as much as id love to see it i wouldnt want someone to lose their car completely. although i would like to see rockets turn the wheels catherine wheel style

lol, if you think about it logically, it would be a very cool (and expensive) way to create a forest fire. As soon as you rev the wheels, the centrifugal force will spray the burning nitro onto everything (and everyone).

As ICEYFLYER states:- "Please be realistic but creative."

I must have missed the "REALISTIC" part...
Okay then, only put a bit of nitro on the tyres, and if it is an MT would'nt the tyres be far enough from the fuel tank to do any damage?

Goaferboy, the "rocket catherine wheel" idea got me thinking. How about just attaching four catherine wheels to the wheels on the trucks (still allowing them to rotate freely). It might require a bit of "modding" but i'm sure it could be done, and it would look awersome. Also, if the catherine wheels were mounted on the outside of the wheels (the only possible place for mounting) then they should'nt do anything to the majority of the truck as the wheels/tyres would be in the way.

More than likely the tyres/wheels would be toast, but it would be well worth it!
