killing a smartech

Well, it wasn't supposed to be like that, but.... the clogged ink tanks, the crappy printing, and the long startup with tons of errors, so I just slipped and gave it a good whack. well.. it cracked the case. Then we took it out to the range and opened up on it with a beretta .40, and a Tommy Gun in .45. I have video, and it earned every bullet. I was wondering if I could send it back to Epson for warranty work!
 
one of my friends had a "customer" call him wanting him to come "fix his computer" when he got there the guy took him out back and there lay the computer with the coresponding pattern of a 12 guage buck shot load.. then the guys procedes to ask if he can "save it" lol
 
you could make a video of your smartech pulling your 1:1 vehicle till it blows up.

i have one, sell it to me for parts..
Why would your smartech need parts? I thought you said its the most durable Rc ya ever had, and youve never broke a part of it before? And bragging about hitting a mailbox going wide open and it didnt break anything? :rolleyes:

When ya gonna do this Green? I wanna see some before and after pics for sure!!

Another option ya could do to really mess it up, is ship it UPS to yourself. That should really put a hurt on it. :spit:
 
I gotta say I see the title of this thread pop up in my browsing browser and I keep sing ing that song killing an arab from the Cure.....anyone else????
 
find closest tall bridge over river, put enough fuel in it to get running and WOT for 30 seconds. set up ramp over rails and send it flying.

On second thought, that may not be as fun as crashing into wall at WOT :trashed:

kinda like maxxfx :rolleyes: lol

i say either Nevaren's idea, or going into a wall at WOT.
 
Running around while someone with a pump shotgun tries to hit it. I still like that idea. It could be a challenge if rules were put up. like no shots under 20 feet, etc.
 
LOL that would be fun! but its an on road, so I think the wall might be the best option, or a curb! or take it off the jump a few times I'm not sure then it can be laid to rest, thinking about doing it this laborday weekend, its my weekend off, but the engine is out of it and I don't know if its worth the trouble
 
You started this post asking for ways to kill it.
You have to kill it now!
You can't just say, Hmmm. might not be worth it.
Send it to me. I'll destroy it for you.
No engine?
I'll tie a rope to it and drag it to work behind my van.
 
LOL its just that I'm full time school and fulltime work and if I'm not working I'm studying or in class, cept for this weekend, I got 4 days off work, and my camera man is comming home from U of I !!
 
Want me to jump it with my dirtbike? Or maybe tie it behind it while I jump over a jump with it? How bout to watch a smart tech Clear a hwy? (Might be the only way it could happen is behind a dirtbike..lol)
 
the only problem we have is that all we have are digital cameras, no digital video cameras.... it didn't look too bad last time we did a video, but I don't want to mess this one up


I was just thinking I hope some one who belongs to RCU posts this thread up there LOL :rolleyes:
 
You don't necessarily need a digi vid cam to do it. Make an analog tape if it's all you can do, send me the tape, then I have a "capture card" which basically lets me reccord stuff off my TV, put it on the comp, then edit it. Or, you could go out and buy one for around $70 for an external one (not sure how much an internal one costs)
But it sounds like your digi vid cam is on it's way, but if you can't get it in time, you could reccord it on a regular vid cam, then reccord it onto a VHS, then send me the VHS if you like. And I'll capture it, edit it, then upload it, and finally post it.
 
well actually we have a digital video camera but it was one of the originals and it records to tape and I think the digital quality on my camera is better than the video camera... even tho it was like 1400$ back in the day and its sony, just inda out dated and + I don't know how to use it LOL
 
lol, ya, I hear ya, we spent a lot on some sony video cam, only for it to become obsolete almost 2 years later, LOL.

Take the thing to a shooting range or a skeet shooting range. Plop it up and yell PULL. Now that would be interesting!

Send it over this way. I'll pay for shipping and then I'll call Ratzo. I'm sure we can think of something to do with it ... Right Ratzo?!?
