Building the BATTLE TRUCK..

[What's_nitro?]

Ya, a 1/5 scale battle truck!!!

Hellfire rockets? Nah, TOW missiles!!! Machine guns??? You need an Avenger 30mm gatling gun!

Thanks dickyT!.. I'm glad you liked it, I have always enjoyed your video’s too.. Your e-Max on Traxxas last year was what inspired me to build my GEVO, you have taught me more than you’ll ever know.. (Thanks Sir!)..

Hey Jnev,
Thanks Man, it doesn’t have the HIGH flying “flash” of yours vids, but what / who does!..
The Video / editing program I'm using is Pinnacle Studio 12 Ultimate it’s taking forever to learn, but it’s pretty fun to play with..
FYI, it does take a crap load of memory!! The minimum requirements to run it are:
• 2.4 GHz
• 1GB of system memory
• 256MB or higher Video card
• 3 GB of disk space
The grenade launcher I got working (Yeah!) the rear net I'm still working on! (BBBooooo).. I get this write and it driving me crazy!.. I need to learn about pneumatics..

Stayed tuned to the second Video, it should be better than the first!..

Have a great one Sir..

Hey Hotie!,
Sorry about the prop 8 remark in the general section a day or two ago, I’ll keep you political opinions to myself in the future!..

Hell Yes I could use some competition, I’ve got challenged by BL_RVO to do a battle to the death, but he hasn’t even started his build yet!! (Boo, Boo, Hiisss, hisss)

Thank you for the compliments on the Build and Video!..

Have a great week and next time I'm in Sac we should do lunch or have a drink.. (if your up for it?)..

Oh yeh, and that vid also makes me really want an XT8

JORDAN!!!
Thank man.. The magnified glass was tricky

The XT8 it BAD ASS (FLAT OUT). If and when you go out and get a Truggy, you really do need to consider the XT8, (Sower, Cornolio, Dafni, Rschoi and Mr. Monster) all have them..

Way cool.. Thanks BL..
YEP!! More to come and I'm hoping to raise bar even higher!..

A scratch build 1;5th scale with baja 5t body that has dual machine guns and hellfire rocktes? :):) :) :) :) :) :)

You know u want to...

Hey TT!!
Thanks for stopping bye, my next project will be 1/5 scale (how did you know?? ) I'm thinking about mounting a mini gun on it!.. LOL.LOL.RALF…. Hey don’t put it past me!.. The only fricken problem is they are all Airsoft! BBBOooooo.. IE ( NO visual damage) like the paintball, but it will hold the 8 shoot revolving grenade launcher!.. FYI, fully loaded the gun weighs 18 lbs.. (holly CRAP!) BUT…. It shoots 140 paintballs in 6 seconds.

Have a great one and thanks again for leaving comments.. And they were even positive!! Right on!!! Thanks…

THAT”S awesome!! FLAT OUT!!! And quite the quwincedence !?! I’ve been doing a lot of research on mini guns and have found 2 that will actually fit in / on a 5th scale, they shoot 2000 Airsoft 6mm shoots per minute, they are between 16 and 25 lbs and they are 23’ – 33” long. They also start around $3,200 and go up to $4,500.00 (YIKES!). So when I added the cost of the gun with the cost of the build itself, (throw in another 2-3K) that would put me at just under 7k!!??

I'm still trying to justify it to myself!, but with one unfinished bathroom, the economy, Christmas and property taxes coming it getting real hard to make the plunge into it!. or I could at least what I'm trying to sell myself on is buy it part by part, take a fricken year to complete it, spread it out over time.. This might actually be doable, What do you think guys??? Should it be all in or bust Vrs a year build ??

Thanks Sir..
I was hopping that Mike would comment on it, but I guess he’s too busy??, as long as I didn’t piss him off by miss representing the Monster / you guys then I guess I'm ok..

Hey BL-R
Thanks and Yes I know no rockets this time, but you know what they say!, save the best of last!! IE (stalling) you should see them in the next video..

Have a great one..

Thanks Bustitup!!
As for the jumping, Nhaaa it a toy it’s sapost to brake!! LOL.LOL and as long as it brakes on film then it was all worth it!.. HHHhhaaaa, HHhaaaa.. (You know what I mean!) I’ve seen your stuff…

As for learning the editing program it did take as long to learn it, the sad / good thing is I’ve only tapped into about 75% of its capabilities and once I figure out the remaining 25% that’s when things get interesting!! LOL.LOL

Have a great one

Thanks Travis.. You were a huge help in the smoke system part and you let me use you image in the video as the pissed off bystander!! So (Thank you!)..

P.S.
Yes, I’ll need about a month to complete the 2nd video (sorry), I'm still looking for some volunteers to shoot at it through the windows and doors of the town, so if you, Mike, Kyle / IE the boys at Hobby People want in?? your IN!..

Have a great weekend Sir..

Shaun.

[TDC57]

So I got Home and form a week of traveling of this great nation of ours to a pissed off wife (who cares) but more importantly my Landmines and field smoke showed up while I was gone!. . That explains the pissed off wife..

(for what it’s worth)
I’ll be performing RD / field testing this weekend of my grenade launcher, landmines and rockets and will gladly post video of there results ( a bloopers real) to speak of if you want I too see it? It should be quite entertaining to say the least..

Have a great Friday eveyone!!

Shaun.

[lincpimp]

Shaun, this is funny. A POed wife! I had a good laugh at that! Can't wait to see your test vid. Are you planning to use a specific 1/5 scale vehicle, or make your own? (or have travis make it for you...)!!!

LMFAO!! i know all about pissed off wives! hahaha. half the fun of this RC addiction is getting away with something your wife cant stand. lol.

[BL_RV0]

You don't really get away with it though.

[thephilonator]

fantastic effort Shaun,

may i suggest that you get the post office to hold your packages when they arrive until you collect it if you know that you're not going to be home when it's delivered. thats what i always do.

you need a better name for such a phenomenal truggy. Battle Truck is just toooo boring.

one last thing though,

...one off build, LOL, RALF, LOL they are all bunch of ...

i believe you mean ROLF as in Rolling On the Floor Laughing

Thanks Linc,
I'm not sure about the 5th scale yet; I just know that is my next build / challenge. IE to build the badest 1/5th on the web.. I just want to be the first guy with “E” 1/5th and mini gun.. LOL.LOL..

Hey Lito!,
Yes that is the one thing you can always count on me for. IE learning from my mistakes.. .LOL.LOL.. The problem I have is most of the time I'm the first time order, something weird or out of the ordinary, so they will only ship it to the credit card address.. So in a way I'm SOL..

What’s up Ryu James..

I know you DO!! I don’t doubt that for a second!.. You are defiantly spending some serious coin, but on the plus side you’ve got some killer / BAD ASS builds to show for it.. So did you take make advise and get a XT8 for your Truggy build or what ??..

Sure you DO!! Please, I just timed it wrong / a rookie mistake.. LOL.LOL
