The rear suspension of the Tamiya F201 is the nearest thing we've had to this - it was a bit taily (it was 4wd too!). Also the most beautiful RC I've seen, along with the Avante and Pred.

While the mass would be low (a 1/10th car is typically 1/1000th the mass, as scale mass/volume = 1/10x1/10x1/10), the number of Gs exerted would be more - as inertia is a function of mass and acceleration, they may balance out...? Just theorising.

PS it isn't 2-speed, just has a small spur gear with a secondary gear.
