Building the BATTLE TRUCK..

[TDC57]

Thanks guy’s it’s real cool and even better in person.. I'll be posting Video tomorrow, but I’ve got a quick question for the team.. I need some stiff (the stiffest) springs and or spacers any recommendation for me.. The total weight of the bad boy with 200 rounds of pain is just under 15 lbs and my blue springs just don’t cut it..

Thanks you for the help..






P.S.
The next time you see me post (I’ll have Veido) LOL.LOL


P.S.S.
Here is quick (real short) video on the firing mechanism. LOL got to love this hobby..

Hmmm. I'm trying to think of how that could possibly work. The DX3.0 has only one button for channel 3 that works as an On/Off switch or as a held button. It can also be used to send signal from the steering channel (I think, assuming I recall correctly) to the third channel.

If it were possible to have different servos connected that respond to different parts of the channel feed, you may be able to use the servo mixing option for channel 3 to control different servos. I'm just not sure how that would be done.

When you do find the thread I'd be curious how they did it. I could actually use that ability myself for a project I'm working on. (I was presently intending to use my DX6i, but if I could use a proper RC Car remote, that'd be better for control reasons)

And thank you for the kind Welcome.

This thread is now the first "Project X" thread, as it should be considering Shaun's effort.

And Shaun, I put in a link to the video that works.

So after spending some good quality time with some long over due friends (you the know the type) and getting completing trashed Friday night (IE) opening my mind to new ideas beyond the box or 2nd elements and recovering Saturday I was ale to think of and incorporate a couple of new ideas into / for my Battle truck..

1. Smoke finally arrived (Yyhhaaa) But having a single discharge for it out the rear seams to not quite fit the (OOOooo, OOOOOooo,OOOOooo / EI testosterone) I'm going for so I’ve setup this duel stainless steel braided house with a manifold, exhausting out a 1 1/2 “ Alum fitting. ( LOL.LOL.) I’ve got MetMan finalizing up the system now.

2. I also added two slayer front bumpers as side protection between the wheels.

3. I Also Added (YOU WILL LOVE THIS!!) A fishing net with the ends in weights shooting out the rear of the truck. I'm planning on running this system off a standard 2.4 oz co2 cartridge, but I also might have discovered a way to tap into my gun tank (Mad scientist laugh here ). I just need it to blast the net out once (approx 10’ behind me) / YOU KNOW (IE) to entangle the rear chasing cars (of course what else would it be for)

4. I’ve also included (2) new front spears (yes I’m going there), I’ve ordered a taser and I'm hoping to be able or metalman / linc?? to (somehow / TBD) hook up it’s firing mechanism to the blades and shoot those out along with the added voltage of tasaser. I'm hoping that is enough to immobilize any oncoming theat.. Or I drop a full size man with the tasers and then go full auto on his ass with the paint..LOL.LOL (just kidding)

5. The fifth adjustment was to install a skull and cross bone on the hopper. I’ve scaled it off and PM a friend of mine who will make a decal, but for now this the basic idea..

6. The next addition was to add lights to the skull eye’s I found some that I think will work nicely

7. The last little sadistic addition was to screw down thought he chassis with sharp metal screws, that way if some one (other than ME) went to pickup the truck from the bottom they would rip up there hands..

Thanks for you time team


Have a great one everyone and thanks ahead for leaving your comments on how I can improve this build…


So just a recap: (There’s been some improvements)..
I’m (going for) building / got / will have a fully auto 16sec per shoot 200 round electric skull and cross bone hoper, 8 rocket a shooting, 6 steal spikes a gouging, duel smoke a bellowing, skull eyes a glowing, front taser shooting, tire slashing, and (lets not forget) the rear net shooting “BATTLE TRUCK”

Holly @#$^!.. LOL.LOL.LOL..


Enjoy the pictures…

I like the firing mech vid, were you listening to fleetwood mac? Stevie Nics is like a drunken sailor wench, sounds like she has smoked for at least 150 years... And that gold dust woman song just sucks, however i think that was her side project, nothing to do with lindsay or mick... Back to your regularly scheduled battle truck viewing!

[TDC57]

I still cant post pictures…



This one is at 800 x 600 so it show up.. A little help please (I’ve got 25 pictures that will blow your mind ).

Yeah, someone help us out with the frikin' picture issue!!

[brushlessboy16]

LOVE THE NET GUN!

[gtxracer]

Damn...this is turning ugly

[TDC57]

I've got the follwoing new video if anyone want to see it..


Short Teaser Video’s:

Firing mechanism (first attempt)





Cycling though firing modes (Semi)




(Full auto)




Targeting practice (it’s first time out and yes it did hit the side of a barn)






Stayed tuned for more teaser video’s: (currently in editing phase)

• Dam this thing still handles (who would have guessed it)

• Exploding the watermelon with frozen paint and fully auto (A must see clip)


• The smoke system testing (did / will it work as planned)


• Rocket and rocket pods (how does it all work) and WHY??

And

• The rear net firing system (how much air is enough but not too much)

And many, many more to come in the following weeks as it get’s refined through it’s R&D phase.

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