carmageddon rc !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well this all started when I got a RC heli just before guy fawkes night helicopter + rocket = cool
well i did start that but soon realized i would have to buy another controller to fire it on command then i had a vision (actually i tripped over my RC nitro car then it came to me RC-carmageddon so with some parts that i had sitting round i figured i could do this for only the price of the rocket

the link for the video can be found here

i made one of these a few years ago but i used a electric rc and a 8 ch receiver and transmitter and for my gun i used a coil gun it was awsome till my friend spilled coca cola on it

I think an electric would work better over a Nitro for a project like this..and open up more opprtunities...

have you tried mounting a mini electric airsoft gut to this ANKLE SHOOTERS!!!!!!!! (check out me insructable) http://www.instructables.com/id/flame_throwing_altoids_guitar

this is really cool. im making this minus the car so its just the turret. some mods im doin to the cannon are: using a copper tube, a glow plug for ignition. another thing i wanted to point out, for ammo, you could use a bottle rocket, just shorten the fuse and put a tiny little bit black powder to help ingite the fuse.

you should be able to use a spare glow plug to light the match

Why not do this: get an estes rocket engine and attach it on instead of a cannon.

vince086 says: Apr 5, 2008. 7:03 AM

would love to try this but the rc stuf is too expensive. that fireing is going to kill the servos. cool project

looking4ideas in reply to vince086Sep 22, 2008. 7:48 AM

Cant u add a heat sink to prevent over heating ???

vince086 in reply to looking4ideasSep 22, 2008. 10:40 AM

the only reason you would need a heat sink is if the thing has rapid fire mode, witch would be cool if it is possible

Mattrox says: Jun 22, 2008. 7:01 PM

the gizmoman in reply to MAD-DOCNov 16, 2007. 2:44 PM

alsome dude!! keep up the good work!!

thecheatscalc says: Nov 8, 2007. 7:01 PM

seems very bad for the servos.... but good idea! I'd suggest spring mounting that cannon so it doesn't strip the servo gears!

MAD-DOC (author) says: Nov 7, 2007. 9:29 AM

tyeo098 says: Nov 6, 2007. 11:20 AM

How does the cannon fire?

MAD-DOC (author) in reply to tyeo098Nov 6, 2007. 12:38 PM

just tested the cannon for the second time fired in just under a second from braking no misfires as so far will be making a quad cannon attachment soo so will post that too
