While there's no category at the local tracks where you can race this bad boy in, we doubt any red-blooded RC fan can resist owning a Mammuth Rewarron. You may not be able to race, but you'll definitely steal all the attention driving this thing in the parking lot.
Currently being developed by Mammuth Works, the vehicle just might be the very first RC of its scale, with dimensions that resemble a mini-quad more than a remote-controlled toy. Heck, if we were as tall as garden gnomes, these would probably be the car we'll be driving in our day-to-day existence.
Only one prototype of the Mammuth Rewarron is currently in place, with the team now raising funding to further develop the vehicle and do an actual production run. The existing prototype is handcrafted using parts (wheels, engine and rear axle) of a pocket quad, with custom-built frame, running gear, shock absorbers, steering mechanism, springs and trailing arm. The car has a custom telemetry system that helps you monitor overall performance, as well as a touchscreen computer (right in the vehicle) where you can set up behavior details (e.g. brake balance, traction control and more)
According to the team, they've already built over 150 unique parts for the car -- a necessity since no one in the current RC market makes parts at this scale. The money raised will go into developing a custom servo solution for the vehicle, since the machines currently in the market won't be able to provide the kind of power that an RC of this size requires, as well as testing and finalizing the design.
Mammuth Works is currently raising funding through the Please Fund Us (yeah, literal begging -- not quite cool) service. You'll need to pledge a full £10,000 to get yourself a functional Mammuth Rewarron
