A Baja (maybe with a brick on top of it) could probably trip an anti tank landmine. That would be cool. Just watch out for the shrapnel.

An anti tank landline is specifically designed not to go off under a specific weight which is typically more than 500lbs . As to not waste it on infantry but to still go off under the weight Of one truck wheel. Good plan but a Baja is a little under weight,lol

LOL. I was certain it wouldn't work anyway but was having a bit of a joke.


Actually of topic but my cousin's husband has worked in quite a few countries to clear fields from mines. I know he has worked in Cambodia and just recently in Bosnia. They don't use RC cars but instead they use dogs that are trained to sniff out explosives. I was really sad to find out from him that he has lost two dogs doing this but those two dogs would have probably saved many more lives. Poor pooches...... They have tried many different methods but dogs always come up trumps when it comes to finding mines. I can't imagine doing something like what he does. I know he gets paid a lot but F that.
