| traxxas summit turned warthog/tank
this is my latest creation, it's 1/3 crawler, 1/3 monster, 1/3 little bad ass it has a working pan/tilt turret on the back, with a wireless cam, night-vision (via 10 400mw IR LED's), and working bb gun. it uses a 9c pcm radio and has over 1000' of range, its not the greatest crawler ever, but its one of the coolest r/c cars i've ever seen. before the "little badass" conversion |

Are you controlling the p/t wirelessly? What remote are you using?

UPDATE: i have some vid scraps for youtube but its not up yet, and my funding has just about run out... i was using a futaba 9c super to run every thing and have replaced the receiver once, but now the tx is heating up and stops transmitting within a few minutes, its very strange... i has reinstalled the stock radio gear until the funding issue is resolved. the vid is of the truck running, not the onboard cam, the "range video" equipment has been unhappy since almost day one.its hard to find quality crap, even when you spend good money on it... im not happy about the onboard cam, but everything else works perfect, i just need another 8c radio or higher.
