I believe it, that is totally plausible. Put spike wheels on that FS or mod some worn out tires by pitting short tack nails to poke out of the wheels and strap them down on the inside with duct tape or even make a wheel snow chain small enough for 5th scales and these gassers have enough torque to pull a man on a Red Rider wagon or a kid on a scateboard, or that guy on that boogie board.

I think it is real. I saw a video of a HPI 5B pulling a child in the snow a lot faster then that.

I though about using both of my FGs to pull me in a wagon. Since both are bound to my Futaba, I was thinking of tying them like team horses! But of course, my better sense got a hold of me before I did such a silly thing; both RCs are trimmed slightly differently. One pulls a little left and one pulls a little right, so the trim of one is a little opposite of the other.

Real.. there was a video of a person being pulled on a skateboard in the UK behind his BAJA, so it is possible...

Yeah if it was fake he'd need one hell of a long cable between the sled and whatever was pulling him as we can't see another vehicle in the shot...

Watch [link=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Mdu_QMGaIk&feature=channel]this[/link] other vid by the same guy.
It's even better.




Looks like fun too.
