Another one of my unusual projects

Thought I would post a picture of something I've been working on. Decided to make an RC garbage truck. Pretty much I've had the toy garbage truck since I was in second grade and the wheels were lost a long time ago. I always had the idea that I would find some new ones but never did and it got lost in the garage until recently so I bought a traxxas 1/16 slash and modified the garbage truck body to fit and built this. Now I just need to make another bracket for the flashing orange light in the back and figure out where to get the decals remade since they are pretty bad looking (still not too bad considering I spent a couple summers playing with that truck in the drive way. It could fly pretty good if you pushed it fast enough up the curb  )



And here is a video my brother took of it running http://youtu.be/IypXTV__VEM

Nice. I came across my old RC stuff from the early 90s cleaning up the other day.

Back in the late 80's they would meet up at the local Kmart parking lot and set up a track for the RC race cars. I would just sit and watch in fascination at how fast those cars were going around that make shift track. Now the ones you buy in Kmart go that fast.
