Toy Story: Life-Size, Remote Controlled Hummer H3!

You definitely won’t find this remote controlled car in your local toyshop – first of all because it won’t fit out the door… The life-size, RC version of the Hummer H3 was created by engineer Dr James Brighton from Cranfield University in the UK. Of course, Hummer didn’t loos the opportunity to promote Brighton’s study. “What better way to show off the definitive big boy’s toy than converting the HUMMER H3 into a remote controlled car?” commented Steve Catlin from HUMMER UK.

“Converting the H3 into the super-sized remote control car took a month to complete but we’ve had lots of fun in the process”, stated Brighton. “The results are clear – all controllers will be amazed by the handling ability – the best any radio controlled vehicle has had to date. The vehicle is capable of climbing a 407mm vertical wall, traversing a 40% side slope and operating in up to 610mm of water – imagine the fun!” –More pics after the jump
