KEY POINTS:
A British engineer has taken the Hummer H3 concept to its logical conclusion - by turning the full-size off-roader into a remote-controlled car.
James Brighton, of Cranfield University, has transformed the H3 into a remote controlled vehicle to create the ultimate boy's toy.
"Converting the H3 into a super-sized remote control car took a month to complete, but we've had lots of fun in the process," he says.
"The results are clear. All controllers will be amazed by the handling ability - the best that any radio-controlled vehicle has had to date.
"The vehicle is still capable of climbing a 407mm vertical wall, traversing a 40 per cent side slope and operating in up to 610mm of water."
