McDonalds Radio Controlled Advert!

[AndyjcClod]

I was browsing youtube today and I got an annoying youtube ad as usual but then just as I was about to skip it I saw it had RC stuff in it!

Clever Maccy D's now I want one! lol

The build up ad is here but I would just click the link below the youtube clip as that's the full video.

The full thing..

I wonder how many takes that took!

Does anyone know what car it is?

[Kemtooler]

That's a loooooong jump!

[backtomyroots]

Big Jump !

Looks like a Team Losi or Mugen 1/8th electric. Hard to tell with those dang cab forward bodies all looking the same.

Cool, but how did the attach it to the rc? And it wasn't one continuous shot so I'm a little skeptical

Still my favourite Macca's rc ad:

Bet they had to do a about a hundred takes before they got it to land in the middle of the landing ramp. The chances of a jump of that length being totally dead straight are minimal.

Of course, that's assuming it's all genuine...

Thanks for sharing!

Fix'd the broken link for you:

[AndyjcClod]

Thanks Gregm and berman I tried to find the video berman posted after I realised the link didn't work but failed (I actually prefer that advert over the e one I posted) probably as I love Clod Busters (hence my online name)

I wonder what other things RC's have been used to advertise?

That will keep me occupied on youtube for a while

No info on the thread though

Wow, cool, but yes, if I hadn't seen Richard Saxton's massive jump with his RC8b I don't know if I would have believed this either. That said the website allows you to toggle camera views of the skeptics and even though I still could find a complete jump you can clearly see this thing is going the distance.

That said, I agree with Gruntfuggly, I wonder how many cars they went though to make this jump clean.

Here's Richards world record attempt at 137':

Man RC has come a long way, I could only dream of doing something link that with my 1980's grasshopper

And guess who helped in the ad...

http://www.neobuggy.net/2014/07/17/lee-martins-mcdonalds-ad/

...ex-TRF 1/10 buggy team driver, Lee Martin! And since he's running 1/8th for Mugen, the car in question is indeed a Mugen, according to Neobuggy (I'm not very deeply rooted in 1/8th so I'll just take their word for it)
