Like the moving driver's arm with that Wagoneer 

Me, I've damaged/totaled a few plastic-bodied RC cars over the decades, sometimes for reasons I never pin-pointed (loss of control due to radio interference, maybe dead or dying receiver batteries/main batteries, or maybe as a result of a wiring interfering with non-electronic speed control). 

In the early mid 80s it was my Tamiya Rough Rider and Porsche 959 kits that got beat up regularly.  In the 90s, it was an Associated RC10 with a 2 cycle engine, .15 (though not quite as much as with the aforementioned electrics). 

Headquake probably has $1000s in his own time invested in making that body.  He should call Lloyds of London and have them put together a special insurance policy for that thing  :lol: I know if that were mine, I'd end up collecting on it.

Amazing craftsmanship!

A question for those with RC experience:

Do RC driving skills (maybe line selection) transfer to real Jeep driving off-road?

It probably doesn't hurt.   But my old RC cars were fairly fast and run on pavement or dirt typically -- they weren't rockcrawling. 

These days you can buy these pre-assembled RC trucks with lockers, the whole deal  http://www.traxxas.com/products/models/electric/5607summit.   

Set up a little rock course to scale, add a video rig for first-person remote-piloting/driving and maybe you can get some facsimile of rock-crawling line-selection- practice with RC.    Only catch is that it'll run you over a grand to get you set up with the aforementioned and you could end up spending 15 minutes working on the thing for every minute you spend driving it.
