God did I forget about this post!

LoL!

We went with the easiest long term solution. Tow rope, 12v car battery and a 2ch receiver powering 1/4 scale servos for steering. No actual drive platform. It worked well. One of the guys hooked up a small winch to the ramp so we could control the distance from the vehicle. For turns he'd winch it close, then as the road straightened out he'd let out the line.

This was the best solution because the ramp came in at nearly 35lbs. It was a heavy duty ramp designed to take abuse from 16lb aluminized, extended savages.

I think the R/C ramp is cooler though.
