Guest ON3GO Posted November 9, 2002 Share Posted November 9, 2002 well ive been bored lately and TV sucks, and playing PS2 isnt all that great anymore....well to be honest my eyes are starting to hurt. im done building my Datsun 510 Model and my Z06 model.. so this is what i started to do.. Go to Walmart, Target, Toys R US and look for a Cheap RC car forsale.. i got a Nikko NSX one. its has one small 9v motor, runs on 6 AA batterys and its slow as HELL! What i did was 1st paint the body to my liking, do as much body work as i wanted, like bigger air vents and etc. Then i went to radio Shack and got a 18V motor, wire, relays, diodes, LED's, lights, switches, you know all the good stuff. The car now has a 18v motor and the stock motor, has metal gears, runs off of 3 9V's and one 9V for steering. the car is so damn fast now that you will always be burning out, doing 360's, drifting, etc... for all about 40 bucks including the 25 dollar car i can keep up with my friends HPI Gas powered car which was like 300 bucks! everybody should do this if your bored. im going out now to get another RC to build up cuz i lost control on the NSX last night and it when it the pool c ya mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted November 9, 2002 Share Posted November 9, 2002 Miles, I have a 4WD audi 1/10 scale kit. Very fast and fun. Used to race it back in the days, before wife and kid! It's belt driven with bearings all 'round. Very quiet and handles like a slot car! Have a little front wheel drive mini cooper too. Haven't touched them in more than a year!

labrat Posted November 10, 2002 Share Posted November 10, 2002 I second the potato gun! How else can you have that much fun for 20 bux? I mean hard hittin, knocking boards out of the fence, potato mashin, BOOM baby, BOOM! I had great fun with mine, till I left it in the hatch of the Z and it warped in the texas heat. Caused all the PVC pipe cement to pull apart from the stress. It would launch a 3 oz. spud over 300 yards, though. I know one thing, i would definitely not want to be hit by one! Bill Btw, right guard, while expensive and smelly, makes the best propellant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redruM_0381 Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 I still think the best BANG for your buck when your bored is to make piccolo pete bombs. 3 piccolo petes (Cheap dumb whistling fireworks), 2liter bottle, plastic bag, 1 nail, hammer, and 5 minutes.. those few things can make a very powerful and reliable (Never had a dud) BOOM! Bout as strong as an authentic M80. Great for blowing up old TV's.. hehe.. I wont go into all the details here, email me if ya wanna know how to build em. I blew up all of our leftover pumpkins from halloween with a few Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 If you want to make a really load bang (non-destructive), get your oxy-acet cutting torch and light the flame and set it to a good hot cutting flame. Then rub the tip on a piece of steel to extinguish the flame. Fill a 1 pint milk carton with the gas which is now blowing. Stick a piece of newspaper in the carton for a fuse and clamp it in a vice. Light the newspaper and get the hell out of the way. If you have windows in your garage, don't do this, the concussion will blow out the glass.

Guest Anonymous Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 My favorite bomb is dry ice plus water in a 2 liter drink bottle. Try it, you will be amazed at the sound. Also no flame but stand back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop N Wood Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 My dad worked for the railroad. they use to turn the gas only on and throw the torch into a snow bank. After awile, pull the torch out by the hoses and toss in a road flare. He said it worked best if you got good and liquored up first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moridin Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 I second the dry ice bomb. Not very much for the dry ice. Set up three of those things and you'll be amazed if you have any hearing left. If want more bang, use a gatorade bottle. A little harder to punch a hole out of. Anyways, have fun.

Guest Aaron Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 For slightly more high tech, you can always get some sodium or lithium and throw it in a lake. Scare the b-jeeses out of some ducks. (Had a college chemistry teacher who gave his lecture one day by the lake on campus while randomly throwing pieces of Na or Li in the lake.) PS - throw small pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 Ok guys. Being from the south, and a total red neck, I have to chime in with my favorite noise maker. We called 'em beer guns. Take 7-8 beer cans cut both ends out and tape them together with duct tape. (Stop laughing..) Then take another can and punch one hole in the bottom, and several more in the top and tape it to the end. Squirt some lighter fluid in the hole in the bottom, shake well, and hold a lighter to the bottom can. Watch out for the re-coil. Most beer cans today are too thin to hold up. They just split apart under the exploision. But I'd bet veggie cans would work well!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
