I am a believer - I believe it can be done - I am impressed.

Very nice work and that is a very nice truck. How much have you spent on your Maxx and what other RC's do you have?

TunaMaxx

Ohhh... I honestly don't know how much money I have spent on the SuperMaxx. I stopped keeping track a long time ago!

The 'Maxx is the only thing I use regularly, but I also have some vitage stuff. Here are some Jerobee 1/12th scale cars from the late 70's / early 80's. I 've started collecting them because the first 'real' RC I ever had was one like the NIB orange bodied one:



I also have a couple of other old cars like I had when I was a kid. Actually these are the ones I has a kid. Amazingly enough, I found the at my LHS more than a decade after I sold them! On the left is a Kyosho Turbo Scorpion from the early 80's, and on the right is an MRP Pro-110 from the mid 80's:



Here's my original big block 'Maxx from before I had the SuperMaxx:

That's some cool video.

BUT this isn't the first R/C to pull a truck.

Electric Clodbusters rigged for pulling have been doing it for 15 years already. And special built pulling R/Cs have been doing it for 20 years. They have a yearly championship to do just this thing.

Heck my RS4 MT pulls my friends on their rollerblades quite easily.

And RCCA had a stock OFNA Monstr Pirate, and a stock Tmaxx pull their guy Kevin Hetmanski around in a wagon.

You should find out where the next Monster and Pulling Nationals are and take your truck.

I knew that the electric guys had been pulling stuff for years, and I saw the article with Kevin H in the wagon.. that was funny!

I wasn't thinking about setting records or being the first to do anything... I just wanted to see what I could get the 'Maxx to move. I saw this little cart thing at the auto parts store yesterday. It would be perfect for hauling everything around when I go out bashing, but even better to sit in and pull myself there!

hpiguy

See now THAT would be cool.

You're going to go bashing AND have your R/C take you there.

Imagine the stares from other people.

TunaMaxx

I think everybody would be in shock to see anybody towing themselves with an RC car, but then you throw in the fact that I'm 6' 4" and 285 pounds...

My Feedback: (1)

your that big and drive an s-10!
any way i started to ask you earlier but didn't, wasn't your supermaxx in x-treme rc cars magazine?

bubbafien

hpiguy

Yup, and R/C Car too. I think he sent out pics to every magazine.

But who wouldn't.

TunaMaxx

Not every magazine...

Just Xtreme, RC Car, and RCCA. I was going for a hat trick!

Also, the S-10 is actually really roomy inside. I just wish I'd have bought an extra cab for some more room to hold stuff...
