i was thinking today at school...go to the hardware store and buy those tiny wall hooks to make those little clone trucks pull...move the cells to the front and put duallys in the back, i wonder if someone started this would it grow fast?it would be relatively easy...maybe do a lego monster mod to the back with half tires for more grip...what do yall think?

You go to school on Saturday? lol

Yeah, I think it would be pretty cool, but there would have to be little pulling sleds for it, too.

Low torquey gearing would come into play, too... and fets, and dual/tri/quad celling and chassis stretching...

Definately something that I'd hope one of the lurking corporate types hanging around here looking for ideas would think was cool enough to put on the table at the next board meeting lol...

I use to compete in the

and seen it done with 1:10 scale RC on a 30 foot track for these you would need less that 5 feet of space. Most of the change in our pockets (if we have any) would work as weights for the pulling sled. Just trying to make the Sled would be the hard part because you would want the weights to top out and change from rolling weight to sliding weight. You would also need to reinforce the hitch point so you don't break either the Sled or to car/truck/tractor.

Maybe this will give you and idea and it is 1:10 scale.

Amen to that "if we have any" part, brother lol

Man... Between thinking about this concept since stampede_dood planted it in my head and the 47.1 foot 1/28th scale quarter mile Xmod drag racing idea that me and 219 have been talking about since he got that Camaro the other day ago...

Well, at least the micro hobby will never go stale... there will always be some base that hasn't been covered...

Well, except maybe for Skylinez... Peeps have covered the living shit outta that base lol

found this

This is an english translation via bable fish of the page

In each case maximum speed becomes sometime once boring!
With the Bitpulling it concerns a completely new competition class.
As is the case for the large models it concerns strength, traction and strong machines.

Quotation of Alex.Lockfied:

"we take a firmly defined distance (e.g. 50 cm).
An attempt is valid only if the weight can be drawn over the entire distance.
Won that, which can move the highest weight over this distance.
Each participant has three attempts per gewichtsstufe. Reducing of the weight is not permitted, which must once selected weight is thus at least mastered. With each successful Pull one receives three new attempts and must the weight increase.
Who pinpointed three times its current weight, is raus and with the highest personally mastered weight one rates.
With equality that wins with the few attempts, with further equality that with the easiest bit "

There are 2 classes:

Super Puller:
- series bit chassis 60 mm with series body, which must latch at the original fastening spots, original bit steering element radio-remote controlled.
- Akku/Batterien/Achsen/Raeder/Platinen and transmission changes freely
only bit-compatible Motor(en) permits
Rear-wheel drive, four wheels, a propelled axle
Dimensions:
Max. width with wheels 55 mm
Max. length without draw hook 60 mm
Max. weight 50g, max. Height of 30 mm

Extreme Puller:
- original bit steering element radio-remote controlled.
- Akku/Batterien/Motor/Achsen/Raeder/Platinen and transmission changes freely, also foreign engines possible
Wheel drive regulation, number of wheels and drive axles freely no chains.
Dimensions:
Max. width with wheels 70 mm
Max. length without draw hook 100 mm
Max. weight 100g, max. Height of 45 mm
