I mean... It's mostly about the weight and traction, though. If he can basically lift the entire RC car, it's impossible for it to pull him. Like, get one of those electric scooters with an adult standing on it and you'd drag that child through the dirt, even though it probably has the same/less power than even those mid-high end RC cars.
Honestly, pretty good, it takes a ton of stress out of your life, provided you don't have too much of it. I have enough that I am not stressed, but I still have to work for it. I would prefer to have enough that I could be creative and work only on what I wanted to do, but that's not in the cards, so I am thankful that I have what I have, that allows me if not a life of luxury, one of relative comfort.
I just looked that up. As a long-term owner of a set-and-forget, fully autonomous robotic mower that costs less than half of the Mowrator and has saved me hundreds of hours of boredom: why would anybody want an R/C mower that still needs to be steered by its owner? It's as much a waste of time as a regular mower.
I'm not sure they cover the same use case. The Mowrator can be fitted with a snow plow and can work unprepared, hard to access yards, go under trees and up dangerous slopes. There are many remote controlled mowers like it for landscapers. Robomowers are for continuous maintenance of already prepared lawns and require training.

And then mum showed up during the test of the $4000 one, without any of the context, and for some reason she got mad.
Teledabby
i lol'd guess the kid can sit on the last one and drive around?
jvh6609
Expected the last one to be “$52,000 F-250” and spit dirt all over the kid.

Growing up had a dog that loved doing this to us. It was so much fun. He was the best, and I miss him
TankardHoot
Good luck kid https://media4.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPWE1NzM3M2U1aHJib3JycG9tYzNseTYyZXFkcWNlbHZhODV2Y2o5c2d0NDVndXIxMiZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/l2R09voBimhP72Jt6/200w.webp

Remember kids, the difference between Science and screwing around, is whether or not you take notes.

He was not ready for the 4k lol

My first car cost less than $4k. Damn.
BrunoFI
What's price got to do with?
cheekysheikhy
The angle of the rope gave the kid the biggest advantage. Follow me if you enjoy me ruining things.

As my Dad would say, there's no replacement for displacement
timmy2bits
Except the turbo in my basement.

You could probably get a used VW Beetle for $100, barely turns over, and launch that little bastard into the stratosphere.
LyvPhreeOarDye
Used beetle for $100? have you seen the prices on old beetles and vans? add a few zeroes....
DarthWaiterSE
I really wanted to see him fly across the screen in one second or less.
*GAS*
*YOINK*
CallMeCourierSix
To the sound of screams and two dislocated shoulders.
No thanks.
cuddleskunk
This looks like something I would have loved to try as a kid...tug of war with RC cars...yes, please.

Clayman8
Umm...pretty sure...the last one is just a lawn mower
Poppypoppoppop
So you don't need a grey Toyota camry to kidnap a kid. Just a rope and a $4000 RC car
jethroismaxbaer5772
I think you could get a Camry for less than 4,000 so it's more about fiscal responsibility.

What's it like having money?

All those cards added up are still cheaper than the kid though.
Detoc
That's why you put him to work in the fields, to give you an ROI.
ElbowDeepInAHeadlessHorseman
lol yeah, they shoulda put the cost of birthing + raising the kid over the kid's head.
hyptosis
yeah haha that is exactly what I was thinking :D
Exyr
Is the last one a modified lawn mower?
dragonsnot
No, it's a child
Batman1702
I mean... technically it's both🤔
xj307ah
So, an unmodified lawnmower.
itypewerdsonline
correct
RedTwoX
I'm not sure it's modified. Looks a lot like a Mowrator S1.
pareidoliaperson
That's exactly the type of name I'd expexted from a modifed lawnmower into an RC.
ThePartyLeader
Totally modified it doesn't come with a tow strap
Exyr
Oh I was just hoping they didnt leave the blade on it.
DisUsernameAmsDildos
Gotta give the kid some incentive
stercusmoriturussum
You get better traction if you leave the blade in.

Husqvarna. Had it for over a decade and it’s still going splendidly. The new ones are even better.
