I know it may be to late but if you have a Mac all you need to do to take a screen capture is controle, shift, and 4, and that will allow you to draw a box with your mouse around what you want to capture, then it will put a image on your desktop. By the way I can't wait to see the final movie, great build. Hopefully I can train my wife as you have trained yours, as I am still having problems with her understanding my rc habit.

Do they do obedience classes for women now, that would come in handy I imagine....

I see a new career for myself in the near future...

"Pimp's Bitch Training" -- has a nice ring to it. I can do a 2 for one deal for the man who has a wife and a daughter. I can also offer female specific driving instruction too.

You must be suicidal!

Maybe you should change your name to suicidepimp.

lovely, just lovely Shaun.

How about _RV0's house of horrors?

Posting Video!
 

:wink: Well I’ve decided to post the “Making of” the Battle Truck video,:oh: my land mines didn’t come in on Friday, :no: I'm traveling all next week and my video is already just under 8 minuets now. :oh: So I figured I’ll brake out the "Town attack" as a separate saga clip! LOL.LOL :intello:


Thanks again for all of your time team and all of your fantastic comments and extremely kinds words of encouragement through the process, :yipi: it’s been a blast building this project with you! and I hope you like the video!!! :whistle:

They only get better from here..

Have a great one


Shaun.


P.S.
(For the record) I started this project on 10/01/08, not bad for 31 days of progress HHhaaaa??.. :na:


:party: Video!.. :mdr:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

:lol::lol::lol: how 'bout after a real podunk town/area in rural Utah called Fillmoore Beaver.

well i just happened to be one of the first to see your vid and it was by accident. in fact, i was the 4th person to view it. all i can say is LMFAO!!!! that was f^%$ing awesome!! how do you find the time man? and the money? i thought i was bad. i work from home and since i started RC i work like 1 hour a day. you must be retired!! which by the way, you mentioned you wanted to get 1mil hits on your vid. that is my dept. i work in email marketing. mass emails of anything you want to get out on the web. dont get your hopes up though. pushing this vid out to 10million would be spam all the way that i couldnt get around. but i am sure there is a way. we'll have to see what it pulls just with word of mouth. i am sure i know a guy who could push this.

wow dude, impressive. i am sure i am not the only one in this forum who would love to meet you and have a bash session with TDC 57 and his Battle Truck. well, you reached at least one goal and definitely put a smile on this face.

Shaun, that's one nice piece of work!!!!! I like it. I showed it to my boy and now he wanted one:mdr::mdr:.

Nice video Shaun, Im lucky number 13 to watch that video....I bet the next one will be the most anticipated video....

Travel safe, Shaun...we need that next video :lol:

Sweet! I don't think you could have maybe managed to squeeze in one more Rc-monster.com if you tried... lol

Wow. Very cool. I think you should have fired the rockets though.

pretty damm impressive....to watch you take jumps with that truck is insane...you got some huge kahonas

it would have taken me longer to figure out how to use the video software than build the truck

great vid and great truck cant wait to see more

i cant say anything!! i`m just going to shut up and enjoy it.

Turned out excellent, Shaun! Now we must be patient for part 2.

Wow, nice video! Can't wait for the fight with the G3R..... :diablo:

Nice. I like how my name showed up! :smile:

Ditto :party::party::party:.

mine too... and all i hav done was reccomend a name for it
by the way... do i have the pleasure of gaining the knowledge as to what you have named this vehicle.:lol:... in other words
wats the name?

Hey guys thanks for all the kinds words, :yes: I'm really glad you like it, as long as it made you smile then I’ve succeeded in my task..:whistle: As the video mentions, I'm still refining my rockets and rear net, so I’ll keep you all posted on their “progress” as successful testing completes.

And speaking of progress, Look what I was able to do today,:intello: I mounted my grenade launcher on my BT..:wink: This was actually really simple, since I swapped out the stock barrel on my SB-8 to a 19th sniper one, I had an extra barrel and front hand grip handy (never throw anything away you could use later!!):oh:, well I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves. :lol:


I wanted to cut the body (the launcher) should be the only thing that sticks up above the body but I ran out of time ..:no:

Thanks again for your time team, your comments, your kind words and all of your help!.. :party:



Have a great week everybody!!!!

P.S. :whistle:
EVERYONE who commented on and helps the overall process got on the closing credits, :wink:

It's great!!! Loved the video 5/5.

Great job on the video Shawn! Thats a hell of a lot of editing it seems... what program did you use? Really looking forward to the grenade and net launchers... :yes:

fantastic Shaun. completly and utterly fantastic.

Now you need some competition.....imagine about 10 of these battle trucks on a 1/8th scale track setup with tons of traps and such....kinda like "Mad Max in Thunderdome." :lol: It will be like a robot wars but faster....much much faster :yes: ...great conversion!!!! and nice vid!!:yes:

Nice vid Shaun, i really like that bit where it goes magnified on the target while you're shooting. Real pro.

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

man that was fantastic shaun. i cant believe you will have more.... Cant wait though.

What's going to be your next project?

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

You know u want to...

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

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

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!..:wink:
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: :oh:
• 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..



Thanks Philonator!!!.. I'm raising the bar higher for the 2nd Vid, whish me luck!! LOL.LOL.





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!..:intello:

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) :lol::lol:

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?)..

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

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.. :whistle:



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



Hey TT!!
Thanks for stopping bye, my next project will be 1/5 scale (how did you know??:neutral: :party:) 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 ??

Ryu James,
That's the Name I’ve been looking for the town!!! YES!!! You’re the MAN!!.. Thank you!.. :yipi:

I can film the BT’s journey through Muff mountains to the town Fillmoore Beaver in an all out fight to the death with Major Poot Tang!.. It’s got a GREAT ring too it!.. :na:

Thanks MAN…



Thanks for the compliments George!!
As for the BOY!!
Just tell him that daddy get to play with the real thing and TDC is just playing with toys..



TruckBasher!! What’s happen Sir..
I told you I was going to use your avatar in the video.. LOL.LOL.. Thanks the allowing me honor, I think it worked out well..

Yeah I hoping the 2nd video put the first one to shame.. We’ll see..

Thanks again for use your stuff and the kind words..

Have a great weekend.

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.. :whistle:



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) :lol::lol: 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… :wink:

As for learning the editing program it did take as long to learn it, :diablo: 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






Mdkenley!.. Thanks for stopping by Sir and WELCOME to the Monster!.. Please don’t judge the rest of the rest team by one off build, LOL, RALF, LOL they are all bunch of great guys, extremely intelligent and very giving, I'm the one.. Well every group has the one who’s just off.. I'm that one.. HHhaa, hhhhaaa…

Siresolry, thank for stopping by and I'm looking forward to see some of you bad ass build (hopefully in the near future!)..

Have a great one Sir..

Shaun



YogyB!..
Thanks (I think??) LOL.LOL



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!).. :yes:

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!..:neutral:




Hey Mikey!..
I’ve been calling it the Battle Truck, but I'm open for new Name!!?? if you got one pitch it!.. :wink:

Have a great one and Welcome to the monster Sir.. You’ve tapped into some the most knowledgeable indivisuals on the Web.. Note Me mind you LOL but many others..

Have a great weekend Sir..

Shaun.

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

(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?:neutral: It should be quite entertaining to say the least.. :rofl: :rofl: :lol:

Have a great Friday eveyone!!

Shaun.

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...)!!!

So lesson to everyone, never order anything if you think you'll not be home to receive them from the postman :rofl::rofl::rofl::lol:.

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.

You don't really get away with it though.
