RC car + stacked paintball mines

stagga24 · 10-03-2011, 04:19 PM

ok, so this is the idea.

Find sturdy relatively flat RC car.

mount a paintball mine (probably a home made custom one that looks similar)
on top of said RC car using c clamps to screw it down and hold it steady.

then use high power tubing like they use for medical stuff w/ great elasticity. the top part of the mine would be spun by hand to coil the tubing then secured with some sort of RF controlled clamp. then put a switch and additional battery pack on the remote for the car to cause the clamp that is hold the tubing to release. If the tubing has enough force it should be able to cause the caps on the end of the mine ends to come off and spray the paint in a good size radius w/ centrivical (sp?) force.

what do you think guys?

well, the way I did mine was a bit different from that. If you want PM me and i can walk you thru it. You WILL need a NITRO or GAS powered car to handle the w8 and terrain...i started with an electric and almost burned out the motor moving across the field.

Neat, And how does the opposite side defend from it? No obvious solution except to have fun trying to shoot it for no result. I can hear the whining way down here in MO. I would worry about someone just stomping it even though everyone knows not to mess with other people's gear.
