Yea IIRC those toys are only rated for like 90 lbs. You could see in the very first video that the wheels were tilting inward under the extra weight load. I honestly thought for sure he was going to colapse that thing in one of his turns. It wouldn't be too hard to fab up some kind of home made rig and do the same thing with a more sturdy axle setup. There was a full on demonstration here in town over the weekend, and they had quads, dirtbikes, E-mountain bikes, and cars that were all electric driven. Very impressive technology. I also read that the "Smart car" was going to be sold in the USA in 2013 under the all electric concept. If they do we will get one for our retirement for running back and forth to the store and such. Specs are still not determined but the electric smart car is alreay selling in the UK. So its just a matter of time.
