Default RE: walmart $200 1/6 ultimate soldier humvee

Even though this thing will be slow 10-14 MPH , I think it my have plenty of torque to climb some good size obstacle
s . the thing honesty weighs around 25-40 pounds . If I can get rid of maybe 5-8 pounds of junk parts like the missile launcher and take off the brush gard to give it better apoach angles , may be shave some parts for better ground clearence . There has to be a lot of weight that can be taken off . There is no reason that it should weigh that much in the first place . The more weight take off the more easily it will do off road . What if it could somehow lose 12 pounds , I know that its a lot but I bet there is plenty of useless weight on the thing , And if it could lose 12 pounds it could take on another 12 ponds of off road terrain . Also the thing should have plenty of traction because of its weight . Dose anyone agree that this might could make a good slow moving off roader ?
