You'd have to beef them up alot with some serious aluminum or heavy duty plastics. But by the time you do that, they'd be too heavy to move fast enough to jump like you want them too. So you'd need a bigger engine....etc.... The larger you go, the slower it gets for the most part. Which also means it handles more and more like a 1:1 scale, which in my eyes is the point of them.

Ever seen a MCD 4x4 MT do a run away? I have, VERY scary. 50lb machine at 40mph or more, and its outta control. Hit my jammin buggy, but only clipped it and that clip was enough to snap the rear wheel in half, lucky me that he didn't hit me head on. The guy had a fail safe, and a TRS, but its was a freak accident. No idea why. Scared him pretty bad, if it had hit a person it would have been serious.
