quick question for you.. :yes:

Where can I get a refill (hose / plug / whatever) so I can fill this tank off my scuba tank, I'm getting tiered of running down and have the tank filled. :no:

Thanks again for everything Sir..

Shaun.


hey shaun im not sure what type of tank you have but if this is what we used to use when we had our own tanks.

screw it on... attach your tank to it and press the button!

just be sure not to fill the tank more than 3000psi obviously (im guessing you got a 3k tank.)

its great to hear that the gun works fine!

Agreed but I cant make them fit..:cry: I'm thinking about maybe mounting something on the hood ??? TBD

Thanks for your comments BB16 (keep them coming)

Silver_Flame101 10.05.2008 10:46 PM

This project has become way cooler than I ever thought it could. I do have to wonder how you will be able to drive it and access the rockets and paintball gun at the same time.

What's_nitro? 10.05.2008 10:49 PM

1873547354 channel radio.......

I knew he would need a 6+ channel radio, but I was wondering how he could drive the car and activate the rockets or paintball gun at the same time.

What's_nitro? 10.05.2008 10:55 PM

Probably with the little toggle switches in the top corners. He said he was gonna use a 360* servo to activate the rockets all at once. If the radio had two momentary toggles then he could shoot one at a time.

gtxracer 10.05.2008 11:12 PM

DX6 or DX7 would do it perfectly.

And I just might have to make some attachments for my truck and see if any local guys want to battle it out :diablo:

e-rev project 10.05.2008 11:21 PM

Hay Phil.. Yes it’s all for real and it all works.. I’ve already sliced up my fingers pretty good and I all most stabbed myself in the gut when I picked it up.. This thing is dangerios, so once the video is made and if know one else wants to do battle I’ll make this my first official shelf queen.. LOL..

As of cost I'm assuming you just refereeing to the “project X” stuff so here is the breakdown:
$165 Paint gun
$150 Paint balls and hopper & flex house
$125 (3) difernet air tanks takes
$80 Air Regulator
$110 Arrow heads, wheel adapters & fins (for rockets)
$15 Rockets
$100 Misc. (paint, front ram, rear wing, wire, etc)

Total project “X” costs (not to bad)

NOoooo there will be no drinking driving or just plain picking it up LOL.LOL

Thanks for the kind words sir and have great week..

Thanks for the kind words SF101.. I’ll be using a 6 channel radio with pre programmed moods, I’ve got buddies who use a 12 channel radio for their plane builds, so they tell me it’s no big deal..

Now I’ve got the gun on the third channel and have to manuly ignite the rockets (BOOO) but in do time I’ll have it all dialed in, hopefully intime for the So-Cal bash on the 19h.. (look out boys) LOL.LOL..

Thanks again for stopping buy and saying hay…

I'm still open to any and all suggestion on how to make it “meaner” if you got any please don’t be shy.. lets here them..

Gtxracer.. DO IT, DO it, do it… I'm looking forward to it.. please POST if and when you get going.. Think about how your buddies would respond to you walking in the mess hall with it.. You would start a new base trend fab..

Have a great week sir..

Thank you for the kind words Sir. That really made my night..

It’s not easy keeping up with the big dogs here, but I think I'm close LOL. At least I know my truck can beat there’s in a race now.. LOL.LOL “I pity the fool that passes me” HHHhhaaa. Sorry I crack myself up sometimes.

Anyway:
I can usually pump these things out pretty easy and it’s really the only time I get to drink / puff and truly relax (enjoy DAD’s time).. But sadly this build is coming to a close, so I'm looking / trying to think outside the box for my next project.. Got any ideas ???

Have a great week and thanks for leaving comments..

Shaun.

P.S.
I love screwdrivers, so if you’ve over 21 yes they are good and the 2nd and third ones all taste like orange juice at that point LOL..

lincpimp 10.06.2008 01:48 AM

I think you are keeping up with the "Big Dogs" just fine, Shaun...

In fact, you have one of the few actual builds at the moment... Thanks for keeping the forum interesting!

I well remember my dad introducing me to the art of daquiri making when I was 12, guess he got the 21 thing transposed...he is a bit dyslexic:lol:

It has been downhill ever since. At least my handover is gone, only took 20hrs.:whistle:

thephilonator 10.06.2008 01:53 AM

Hey Shaun,

got a few ideas,
1) i think you should maybe paint the hopper to match the paint scheme cos currently the hopper looks a bit out of place (which it obviously is)
2) maybe also paint the ram on the front???
3)if i were you, i'd have cut the hole on the front for the paintball gun a little smaller to look more subtle (if its possible for a truck with arrowheads on the side to look 'subtle') LOL.
4) for your next build maybe build a mobile drink station that carries beer or whisky or whatever. or do what you've done to your Xray to a plane? make it look like spitfire or something.

very good work Shaun.

jordan... 10.06.2008 02:38 AM

Ever thought of an onboard camera mounted in the blower or a laser sight for the paintball gun? Just putting it out there... :wink:
