I think we need to start a collection - DO-U-MAXX - 07-15-2004
I went to the kent county fair grounds last night with the wife and kids and watched the Truck Power Pulls. :eek:
I have seen a R/C sled on ebay and I know they have tires specific for pulling. What does everyone think about getting a sled and having truck pulling competitions
.I think it would be awesome and fun to watch.

what no one thinks this is a cool idea or what. I am not even sure you can pull with nitro, but if you can I am sure we would enjoy it.

That sound like a lot of fun! Anyone who tried this would need some heavy duty parts on his/her trucks. Super strong clutches, maybe aluminum wheels (I think the hex area of a plastic wheel would strip way too easy for this type of abuse), low center of gravity to help keep the front end down, etc.

it can be done.. one of the Monster Jam's last year a guy pulled 70 lbs with his savage a tiny clutchbell and a picco .26. the snall blocks struggle with light amounts of weight though. Electrics can pull a lot more though.. one monster Jam Brad Pitt the VP of thundertech RC (No not the actor) pulled a full size chevy truck with his custom built puller. that was crazy.

still cool to see I bet even with a mixed field of SB and BB.
I would think that if it was run on a semi-soft surface like the real pullers it may not be too hard on components. Although there was plenty of damage to the 1:1 trucks I was watching, but they were bouncing which is major no-no.
