Just need either a brand that needs an advertising opportunity to do it, or some nutcase in their garage with some used combine harvester tires. It'll happen eventually.

Is this one of the ones that can flip over and drive upside down? I had one that could do that.

Genius.

There is a truck body on the bottom side, reversed, so forward is still forward. Drives like a skid steer / tank

I picture it as one of those extreme rock climbing things, and the cockpit could be on a rotisserie with a manual release. With tires that huge, I almost think they could comprise most of the suspension. Then just stick a powerful electric motor on each corner and tear around.

Pretty much any electric RC car, especially the expensive ones with nice brushless motors. I've crashed some (flipping/rolling around 10 times) at 40+mph, and there was hardly a scratch on the car. Turned it back over and zipped off.

I cartwheeled a heavy Exo after a bad jump and all that broke was one of the shock caps. Got a pair of Proline Power Strokes later that day. Was happy.

Oh hell yes! I think mine is still at my parents. Had 2 batteries when I got it, 4 hours to charge and about 10-15 mins of use. Battery tech has come a long way!
