Backpack sized off-roader?

It's a neat bike, because the racks are hinged and can collapse. Very heavy duty. Here it is. In the second pic, it's the center bike (see how the racks can fold down over the rear tire). Pardon the pics with adult content:

Loving that Transport, definetly seems the best solution. Panniers are a possibility I guess... but it's hard to find a front one for my bike. I'm sure I could whip up something though.

So, panniers that can fit an 10th or 8th scale truck are a possibility... Bye bye student loan !

I dont know what kind Mountain Biking you do, but I'd stick with a back pack load if it were me. Putting it on the front and that 10 lb load would greatly impact my ability to lift the front wheel off the ground. Putting it on the back might be dangerous for my family life in crashes.....

Get yourself something along the lines of a stampede or RC10GT.

I do lots of road riding on an XC bike during the week to Uni, other than that I do a bit of Downhill. I can stick to the road and ride like an old lady, refusing to remove tyres from the road if I have to, it's not much of a problem. A backpack just seems more secure and weatherproof to me...

You can always get a backpack designed for skateboarding, they have a big strap on the back to hold skateboards, maybe you could use it to hold water car you want and but the rest of the stuff inside the bag? As for an actual RC, if I was in your position I'd get a 4x4 Stampede, Hyper 10 Truggy, or an 1/8 buggy.
