well I was wondering if some of you guys could help me figure out how to kill this smartech car, right now the two spur gears are stripped and this thing has done enough damage in its life, I don't really have any bombs to blow it up but it would be fun to light it on fireso I'm thinking about something along those lines. I am definetely going to run it over with the savage a few times tho it should be a lot of fun I will try and have some one tape it the problem is hosting it this may be put off for awhile, but suggestions are always good and they may get me motivated
thanks!!! :flamer:
 
I would NOT suggest using fire.
Fix the spurs, and run it WOT into a cement wall or curb.

LMAO, that'd be halarious! I agree w/ ratzo.

also, putfile.com can host your vid for ya ;)
 
I think itd be kinda cool to pull it behind you 1:1 on a long rope. I used to do this on my bicycle when I was little. (With old remote controlled cars, I usually bought at garage sales). Otherwise Id say what Ratzo said. (Or else you could go to Rcu and sell it what ya paid for it. Them guys LOVE smartechs (?) )

dude already did that, the problem is SMARTECH SUCKS and they make you buy an entire new transmission, thats all I can find and its hard enough to find parts as it is. besides, it DESERVES TO DIE!
 
just stick the carb WOT till the motor blows, then drop if off the top of a really high building.
 
Just stick it under the tire of your 1:1 and slowly roll over it. Take video please.
 
Take another, fast rc, put a rope to it and the smartech, hav sum1 drive the tow car while u steer the smartech into a brick wall :D Do you have a TC so it'll b fast, and thus major damage? LOL.

You could find a rope or string that'll break w/o damaging your tow car or cut a section to snap once the smartech hits the wall. Or, get a really stiff body clip, and tie the string to that, and jus start out slow so that once the smartech hits the wall, the body pin will just get yanked out.

Whatever you do, PLEASE MAKE A VID!

also, picapic.net will host your vid I think.
 
If you send a smartech to a starving child in ethiopia, they'd send it back to you asking you to never send them anything again.

I like this idea. Be sure to open the mill and take pics of it afterwards. Id like to see how it looks.

Another option is, Poop on it, set it on someones doorstep and "sets its on fiyaa!" (In the words of Billy madison)
 
lol.... start it up and put it at WOT, chuck it down a building with the motor running (if it actually runs...) and once it slamms on the ground and everything is shattered, you'll have an engine going at wot by itself lol.

DEFINITALLY make a vid!!! I'm dying to see it!
 
i would rig it some how to make it go forward.. anything will work you dont have to have those gears.. just be able to go forward long enough to top out and aim it at a wall with a full tank o gas fire it up and let it rip.. and video is a MUST!!!
 
I'm hearing slam it into a wall... or set it on fire. i say, light it on fire THEN drive it into a wall. maybe strap an M80 to it too, so theres an explosion afterwards. death to the smartechs... bravo.
 
ssend it through a chipper at wot, lol that would be aweosmemake a ramp up to the mouth of the chipper and just drive it on in, lol or if u want the electronics just throw it in the chipper your self
 
well its not the smartech engine, its the HPI mill, and HPI tires, when I bought it I thought it was an rs4, now I'm tired of it, it needs to go, just don't want it, and there is no way I'm going to pawn it off on some one else.
i'm going to remove it from the gene pool

i have one, sell it to me for parts..
 
Thats no fun!!!!! Strap a M80 to it, light the explosive, drive WOT at a wall, timing the explosion perfectly when it hits the wall. BOOOM NO MORE SMARTECH
 
My 2 Cents. Have someone get a shotgun loaded with 3 inch mag buckshot, and see if he can hit it as it runs around. Or if you have a safe place to do it, use an AK47 or AR15. Maybe a Desert Eagle in .44 would be nice. If anyone needs to borrow a shooter, I am available. I killed a printer with my beretta, because it paperjammed. Once.
