The R.C.S 720 (Remote Control Spy)

video The R.C.S 720 (Remote Control Spy)

This is it!

The "Remote Control Spy" 720 (R.C.S).

This is one of my very few knex remote control carts.
The electrical parts came from an old toy car, stripped off the plastic body, and then i had some wheels that were controllable.
It can run up to 6 mph, and it weighs 1.2 kilograms.
The range of the controller is about 6 metres and the batterys of the cart last half an hour.
Enjoy the video and don't forget to rate and comment!

This is my entry for the TGKT.
Now you can enjoy!

Its kinda just some knex on a R/C Car... Very cool nonetheless. :-D Good luck in the TGKT

Don't underestimate the work that got into it, man. It took like 4 weeks to get it perfect! I had to take every single bit of toy car plastic off of it, then i needed to make a frame for the whole electronics bit... with knex! Thats is a though job, but you're right too a little bit, the insides are still an RC cart but without the whole plastic toy car frame... a knex frame it is! Anyway, thanks for saying that it is cool, and good luck in the TGKT! :-D

this is where lego kicks in..........I have a really old lego remote control set lying around, and I can use knex bricks to put all the knex on it. Its not capable of 360 turns however....

I know, and the black hands can do what I orginally thought they could do: Snap onto the end of a rod like a grey connector.

Dec 29, 2008. 1:17 PMMr. Stealth says:

I got a box from my friend and they seem to be as versatile as the larger knex pieces, but I would choose the larger pieces any day.

Feb 23, 2011. 12:23 AMSkreetsha (author) says:

'Plz' is not a word in my dictionary so work on your grammar then come back okay? By the way, for all my OTHER posts that you apparently did not see because it wasn't interesting enough to look for.. It's scrapped.

YOUR A PERSON THAT PLAYS BIOSHOCK 2 AND PLZ IS NOT IN YOUR DICKTONAR!!!!!!!!!!! WIERD!!!

Feb 27, 2011. 5:41 AMSkreetsha (author) says:

And you're 12! Jesus Christ, you don't even know what a 'dictionary' is? Bloody hell.. where's this world heading for. One question, do you like Ke$ha? Or Slipknot?

May 24, 2011. 3:51 PMglugnar says:

Are you asking whether he likes Ke$ha or Slipknot? Or, Do you like Ke$ha, what about Slipknot. If this is the latter then that is two and bloody hell what is this world coming to?

May 25, 2011. 6:42 AMSkreetsha (author) says:

I meant it as in that most of Ke-dollar-ha's fans are uneducated tramps, and glitty-show macho boys.
Slipknot has a normal fanbase that don't run off if they see the sight of another new 'celebrity'. (This new celebrity being even worse then the previous ones such as Justin Bieber, or Rebecca Black and what worse there is to come..)

May 25, 2011. 1:50 PMglugnar says:

I do not care about any of that, and that did not answer my question, bloody hell what is this world coming to if somebody cant answer a simple question.

I have seen bluetooth software that uses your phone as a webcam... a cheap 5 dollar bluetooth dongle and you got live video straight from your phone!

Apr 24, 2010. 8:35 AMLiving The Dead says:

Sorry for 3 posts, just forgot to mention that too see in the dark, you need infra-red LEDs that are small, and that only animals can see it biologically.

Apr 24, 2010. 8:33 AMLiving The Dead says:

actually, I have a HD camera that can record ages of footage, and it's smaller than your cellphone, and the best part is, cameras can see infra-red, but humans can't. So if you can adjust angle of camera, you can probably make the best spy-car there is, as it can see in the dark, and it's quick. and yes, live footage is available too.
