Not all have time, money and wits to unveil revolutionary creations. And it is well exemplified by Dr. James Brighton latest offering of a remote controlled gas guzzling Hummer H3. It took him almost a month to deliver this first ever radio controlled vehicle. But this feature-packed and unique model doesn’t come easy and hence demands $70,000. If you have a heart to meet this ceiling price, then it is possible for you to play pranks leaving your friend inside it and monitoring it in the direction opposite to your friends’ willingness. But I advise you to be cautious as seemingly tricks can wreck up everything.
