better be big servos!

I actually saw a video that a guy did. He took an old car, made it work with his RC stuff, and took it out in the desert and drove it around, then jumped it and trashed the heck out of it. Pretty funny.

On Monster Garage, they made a figure eight race car into an rc car. They tested it on a race track. Jesse James raced it in one of his cars. The guy who drove the rc car finally figured out how to drive it after a lap when Jesse through it into the wall.
