If yall like hyper realism in models, and would like to combine it with rc stuff, look into the rc rock crawler hobby, its cheap to get into, and the official events and competitions have rules and special contests just on ranking how realistic and cool your truck looks.
While at the same time, there's a whole contest for your skill as a driver and builder as you try to navigate really harsh landscapes with a point based system that notes your mistakes, and all that.
