Fleet of RC Cars Tow Jeep Grand Cherokee

By -

How many radio controlled cars does it take to pull a Jeep Grand Cherokee? Only about $7,000 worth.

When it comes to educational videos on the internet, most are incredibly helpful. They help us fix our cars or maybe even navigate a tricky local off-road trail. But then again, there are plenty of videos out there that answer questions no one asked, too. Like this bit from YouTuber MrBeast. Apparently, somebody wanted to know if it was in fact possible to tow a Jeep Grand Cherokee using nothing more than a bunch of radio controlled cars. In case, you know, you happen to have a bunch of them handy and can’t bring yourself to call a tow truck. We guess?

Regardless of real world practicality, this experiment is undeniably fun. Well, except for the group’s failed hack job attempt at reducing weight and “adding value” to the Jeep. And the lovely custom Flex Seal paint job. But we can forgive that, for science. Shenanigans aside, we wouldn’t have thought this feat possible if we hadn’t witnessed it with our own eyes. And yet, even with just seven powerful RC cars working in tandem, the Jeep Grand Cherokee moves. Not very quickly, granted, but it moves!

Adding a couple more high-powered Traxxas cars helps move things along a little quicker. But this clearly isn’t a viable solution for getting your busted ride home. Or is it? It’s at least good enough to make our hosts ponder the start of a new business.

Mr. Beast makes a great point as well, “cause like, getting towed sucks. But imagine if a bunch of RC cars rolled up and it was like, ‘what’s up man, I got you.'” All you need is around $7000 in tiny equipment, which is obviously cheaper than a real tow truck. It might take you a couple days to get your Jeep home, but you’ll look plenty cool in the process!
