Here two idea that came to mind.
Something that's 6wd with a short wheelbase. That is rather than add two more wheels to the end of a truck, add them in the center to keep the turning radius short.
You know what the Tyco Rebound is right? How about building something similar to that, but with more hobby quality componets. It would be interesting to work out a suspension system for something like that.

Lee realising his true intentions. Never share trackspace with him.

It would be cool, though, to have something simple, like a water pistol (although it doesn't mix well with electronics) that you could actually aim. It's less dangerous than a BB gun, and you could develop all the parts yourself; right down to the pump pressure.

LOL

It would be really cool if you take car's idea and maybe a scale fire truck with ladder and nozzle that shoots water out that moves around to aim at a fire.
