Building the BATTLE TRUCK..

[jnev]

Holy sh*t! Didn't think you could fit any more gadgets on to it. Looking forward to the video, and of course, seeing it at our next bash.

• Front ramming spikes (check)
• Grenade Launcher (check)
• Rear net shooting (check) but still in R&D phase
• Rocket shooting (check) but still in R&D phase
• Fully auto paintball (check)
• Flame thrower (check) final stages of R&D (two issues to work out)

With the silencer on:

So what do you think (?) Yes or No ???

Thanks guys..


P.S.

This is too much fun!!

So is there a video of this true monster truck destroying anything yet? I personally think it would be great to see a whole fleet of these things cage fighting it out...sort of like BattleBots...minus the rules.

[Gee]

Nice work Shaun. What wine have you been drinking that give you such insperation and ingenuity? How about a pen toarch for you flame. I would think they would last long enought to start a wildfire or make a smore.

Something like this

Here you go. The package say it will run for 15min on a full tank.

Control a flame of 2000 degree F with pinpoint accuracy. This one indicates and hour run time. Holy crap! With 4 different nozzles!

LOL… Thanks for the input!! I was just worrying about doing to much or crossing the line of WHAT the F%#!. Of course I can add just one, I’ll need to add on both sides wont I ????

Have a great one and thanks again for the compliment and words of encouragement..

Shaun.

Well I cant drive and shoot fire out at the same time, I’ve tried and I finally had to stop when I almost caught my whole build on fire.. LOL.LOL.. Got to love the R&D phase.. But I can still get you with the paintball at any range.. LOL.LOL..

Have a great week Sir..

We can look at your creation two ways. Why?? and what the F&$*% is that?? The more I look at this thing the more confused I get. It is very cool the way you have worked everything into your design Shaun. It is impressive to see your workmenship. It truly is a nice project, and even a work of art, but are you going to put it to use any time soon??? Are you guys planning sime kind of battle truck bash in the New Year? What is going on with this masterpiece?? Just curious as to what motivated you in this direction??

Het Jerry
Thanks for the great words of encouragement and flattery, your too kind..
.. LOL.LOL I know this build gives you issues on a couple of different levels, I'm sorry sir I’ll try to explain (why the build to begin with):

To be the first one to max out an RC to its full capabilities
To do something outside of the box that no one has ever done before
and I wanted the ultimate RC TOY!, something so outrageous that it works on many levels of coolness. A Man’s TOY!, a toy that can kick ass and not even worry about taking names..

And just think about the reaction at the next RC expo when I have this thing sitting out for display at Mikes table, IMHO it will blow everybody away!.
That’s why and it’s stupid fun.. At least to me it is..

Have a great week Sir and thanks again for your time and words of encouragement..

Shaun.

Hey Jordan,
I'm sorry Sir It was so light last night I didn’t get what you were saying.. GOT it now.. Thanks… but I think GEE figured it out for me!! I’ll see tomorrow how the his idea works..

Thanks again for your time and thanks again for your help and suggestions Sir, please keep them coming..

Have a great one Jordan..

Hey guys,
Here a short Teaser video of the flamethrower in action..



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVXvFb1jWMo




I'm editing the making off video now and the cool thing is I set fire to another RC truck and I see how well Major Tang can take the heat!.. FYI he goes up FAST!, it’s pretty cool he & the RC melts away to nothing.

Anyway I’ll post some great fun video of it in the next day or two..

Thanks for your time everybody and have a great week..

Shaun.

This is getting out of hand Shaun... Great, I love it!!!!

Anyways, I think you need to rig up a rear facing jet that sprays oil out. That way anyone following will loose a bunch of traction... Plus it would look like the battle truck is taking a leak...

[What's_nitro?]

When will you install a self-detruct system to prevent all this from falling into the wrong hands????

Thanks James...

So I haven’t gone / crossed that line of insanity yet!, that good to know.. .

That's a great idea, but I was thinking of setting up a rear spray to "prime the trucks with" that way if they came close the flame they would ignite!

but I'm thinking Rich, Travis, Josh, etc, wouldn’t appreciate it if I bar b Q’ed there builds..

HHhaaa, HHHhaaa that good.. But NO I'm not too worried about it falling into the hands of the KGB or alkida!..

I'm am expecting / wouldn’t be surprised if someone from freds stopped by at my door one day, but that’s a long shoot at best..

As for the self destruct, I’ve got this feeling I’ll push it too far one day and it will self destruct all on it’s own..

i have had a the blue pencil torch before and i must say, its very inconsistent, and sometime will not light at all. i have had mainly bad experiences with them. they are cheap, and i have had more than one

i was thinking of a small soldering butane torch like
http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...ductId=3086616

i figure it would be self covered (so wind resistant) and should be able to light the gas easily
hope this helps

beautiful build by the way, i am very happy you have taken it this far

[TDC57]

I think I found my next Battle Truck addition!!!

It puts out 1.2 million volts!

But before I get it I was just wondering what kind of damage this would do to our electrical builds. Would this be enough to stop / instantly fry the internals of our / BL-RVO machines??

I was thinking for mounting this up front / In lew of the ramming spikes.. What do you think??

I could have it mounted up testing within two – three weeks tops!..

Man I love this hobby!..

Thanks for your time and have a great everyone

Shaun.

P.S. See the video it way cool..

[JERRY2KONE]

I think you have some kind of desease or something Shaun. It is like watching a modern day Frakenstein monster being born. Nice stungun, but I would think that a tazer would be better suited for your build so you can incompacitate your apponenets from several feet away. Then once you stop theri movements you can torch them.

[thephilonator]

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

a 1.2 million volt stungun and a flamethrower and many other v/dangerous weapons on a rc

Shaun, you need to calm down.

i wouldn't go there with the stungun on the rc but i'd buy one anyway just for random occasions.

also, is the mac 11 a paintball gun or a real gun? paintball i'd consider but NO WAY if it's a real mac11. just TOOOOOOOO dangerous.

finally, the flamethrower in the vid looked a bit weak, i was expecting it to shoot a metre long line of flame but it only managed less than a foot. so you'd have to have the intended victim very close to the truck to do any damage.

listen to yourself....you talk about the dangers of the stungun and mac11 and then you nonchalantly say that the flamethrower is "weak" as if every RC car has a flamethrower and that it needs to shoot at least 1 meter to do any real damage. come on, which is more dangerous, a stungun or flamethrower? with a stungun you are gauranteed to live but who knows what the outcome could be with that flamethrower. haha!!

just thought it sounded ironic.

Thanks Sir..

I’ll keep looking, ideally I was hoping to shoot two teasers out my hood but I couldn’t figure out how to make it work maybe I need to revisit it!..

Thanks for the advise and compliments.. Mad scientist laugh here!..

OK soooo that’s a NO on the 1.2 million volts (got it)

NNNoooo that Mac 11 is a airsoft / bb gun, my 8 year old shoots it in the back yard. I don’t own a real gun for protection, I’ve got three dogs who take care of that for me!.. LOL.LOL..

Thanks for your time Sir.. I'm Sorry for the confusion…. My BAD..
