That's what i thought. :wink: . thanks for your time sir.. :yes:

ffactory666 10.13.2008 10:53 PM

Just watched the vids , the full auto shooting is nuts and would actually be illegal down here in Australia , we require a shooters licence for paintball markers but no fully auto allowed .
I wouldn't mind using your rig on some of my neighbours , just sit on my roof and wait for them to walk past and do a drive by and quick escape :mdr:

jnev 10.13.2008 11:12 PM

Damn your truck looks awesome Shawn! Very good work on all the firing and protection mechanisms. :yes: Really looking forward to see it run next weekend. :wink:

Thanks, I'm having a blast with it and on fully auto it shoots a lot of fricken balls. :yes: I've already gone through 1/2 case (1000) shoots.. You should see my back yard :lol:... I can’t believe you're required to have a shooting license for a paint ball gun and no fully auto (that's just wrong). :no:

Laughed at the shooting the neighbors and running to hide..:intello: Wait to you see my smoke in action with the gun blazing, it should make them run and hide.. :wink:

Have a great one F666..

You gotta throw those vids up on YouTube. 1M hits easy. :)
Altho, at what point does this thing become an illegal RC-WMD?
Seriously, spears and firing tazers, jesus christ... this thing belongs in Afghanistan. lol

TexasSP 10.14.2008 06:25 PM

He should name it the Bin Laden Hunter........

ffactory666 10.14.2008 08:09 PM

Awwhh, I could have saved you some money on that :whistle:.

suicideneil 10.16.2008 01:38 AM

You can save me some money if you still like- movie maker is a lovely, simple programme, but it is constantly freezing up on me whenever I so much as look at the screen, or attempt to trim a clip; takes me about 4 hours to do a 30 minute job...

TDC57 10.19.2008 06:28 AM

:whistle: Here are just a few choice shoot's to keep you satisfied until the video comes out :wink: "next week".. :yipi: :party: :intello: :yes:

Cool. What's with all the steel braided hose? What's that shoot?

entjoles 10.19.2008 11:07 AM

what the @*%* happened to my xt8:lol:



j/k that is so sweet , cant wait till the vid....


looks like its a little heavy, those poor springs:rofl:

BL_RV0 10.19.2008 11:09 AM

And how did you end up doing your rockets? Do they work yet?

TDC57 10.22.2008 01:38 AM

Teaser Video!.
 
As I continue to struggle through he editing phase of the video, here quick (killer) 46 sec teaser video and trust me I'm saving the best for last.. :wink:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4E6fC_rCHr4



I do have questions for the team????. :whistle:

Quick background / painting the picture for you: :mdr:
I'm building this town to destroy for the Battle truck movie :oh: and could really use some suggestions from the team.. :yes:


Do I build individual houses or streets / blocks ?? :neutral: (ie) general store, brothel house, barber shop, ect. of course they will have have doors, windows and will be painted.. OOohhhh do i use light or dark color paint (??)

http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/i...7/IMG_3824.jpg


http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/i...7/IMG_3823.jpg


I’ve got 14 building that need to be named as well. :gasp: Got any suggestions ?? :wink:

Thanks for your time and I hope you enjoy the teaser video. :party:

thephilonator 10.22.2008 05:33 AM

wow, thats a lot of effort going into some thing thats going to be destroyed.

i would think light coloured paint so you can see the damage better.

building names ehh? barber shop, town hall, church, doll shop, what sort of town is it supposed to be? medieval, modern, british, what?

Gee 10.22.2008 09:27 AM

Nice Trailer. You looking for a High Plains Drifter effect with the town or something newer like the National Lampoons Animial House screams mixed with humor? Your battle tank is similiar to that one they made in AH. Painting everything red would make it easier.

Arct1k 10.22.2008 09:38 AM

Well the brothel has to be the pimpin linc

entjoles 10.22.2008 06:02 PM

i think that "fine design rc" is a good target:rules:

TexasSP 10.22.2008 09:59 PM

Nice little vid and good choice of music.

Next vid should use TNT for the music!

Just think of the sound of it:

"I'm dirty, mean and mighty unclean
I'm a wanted man
Public enemy number one
Understand
So lock up your daughter n' lock up your wife
Lock up your back door and run for your life
The man is back in town
So don't you mess me 'round

'Cause I'm T.N.T
I'm dynamite
T.N.T
And I'll win that fight
T.N.T
I'm a power load
T.N.T
Just watch me explode "

You get the idea, I just think the lyrics match well to the message of the truck.

BL_RV0 10.22.2008 11:39 PM

My truck will kick your truck's ass. Then turn around, kick it again, drive away, and then for good measure, kick it a third time. Then it'll drive away and use my flamethrower on you! Lol. I'm not sure it'll do all that but i sure hope so! :lol:

TDC57 10.23.2008 05:31 AM

Thanks BL-R
Mainly there are routing and looks.. I was looking around my garage and found some stuff that would look cool and serve a someone purpose.. but mainly looks..

LOL.LOL..

Hey entjoles..
LOL.LOL I bet you never would have ever thought your XT8 would be used like this..

It still handles pretty good for all the weight.. I cant find any springs stiffer than the purple, I think I will need figure out how to run dual springs ??? any thoughts??

The movie should be cool.. It’s costing me a small fortune..

Thanks Philonator
I hoping it’s worth it in the end.. IE puts a smile on your face then it all worth it. LOL.LOL and I'm shooting for a 1million hits on youtube. LOL.LOlL

Light color (got it)

I'm still trying to figure out what type of town it will be or city or neighborhood. I'm just kind of building it with no plan, just going as the booze takes me (you know).. I'm thinking some kind of client eastwood old gunfighter town.. I'm thinking of Dead man’s gulch for a western setting, Springfield for a small town setting. I don’t know still side open for suggestions..

Have a great one

GEE what up Sir.. I like the Animal House look, I cant get to serous is will look dorky but keeping humor in it works.. Thanks for the idea.. Yha painted red would make it easier (for sure) but I’ll just get good and hamered one Friday night and paint it up / hope for the best.. LOLOL..

Hey TexasSP.
Well the whole video / movie now is @ 8:00 minutes and I need two songs two cover it all So I really apreshate the advise. I was looking into Metallica, doors, etc, but a another ACDC song would be cool too..

BRING IT LITTLE MAN.. LOL.LOL.LOL….

Sorry.. Yes sure anytime anyplace.. But if you get to use your flame thrower than I'm using steel ball bearings and get to crank up my PSI to 410… IE should be able to blow holes in your build + the rear net to tangle you but in.. PLEASE..LOL.LOL.LOL

I do wish you the best of luck in your build BL-R.. it sound like a great project and I'm enjoying the updates..

TDC57 10.23.2008 05:33 AM

Forward Progress continues.
 
Well the town continues forward at good speed and can still go anyway (western, city, or suborn neighborhood) :yes: :neutral:

Here are picks of the process for 4 builds :wink: (they are all trimmed out and primed up!)..:intello: Tomorrow I’m off to the hobby shop for more wood so I can complete another 4 buildings.

I think you should go with a western town and do a Wild Wild West theme (from the tv show).
