Remote control cars have come a long way. From the little electric fun-buggies that never held a charge long enough, R/C vehicles have evolved into tools and toys – some that even run on fuel and go fast enough to take your legs out from under you (long story) – serving a variety of purposes. After all, aren’t those little bomb cars in Black Ops controlled by remote?

Now, it appears, we’ve found a new use / time waster: towing stuff. In the video below you can see a larger-than-normal R/C hauler actually hauling a Nissan SUV along someone’s driveway.

Looks like I’ve just added another item to the Christmas list. Now, with toys on the brain, if anyone’s got some interesting videos of their R/C cars go ahead and send them in. I’ll be kicking back with my Labatt Blue remote control cooler doing all the heavy lifting. Isn’t technology great?
