Shameless (Showtime TV series) RC truck sighting

[alien13]

Just finally got around to watching the season premier of Showtime's "Shameless" and Lip was building an RC for "Robot Wars". If you don't remember Robot Wars, groups would build the biggest and baddest RCs to beat the hell out of others in competitions, literally.

Anyway, it looked to me like he was using a Savage Flux, possibly extended. He won the competition with it, but it had alot to do with the stolen military-grade laser he mounted to the top.

what? no rule against a "military-grade laser"? it must be a set up.

They got a little upset when I tried to enter one with a .50 cal MG on it. Something about the fans....

Fans?? What fans ;-). Referring to the use of a 50 cal by the way

Okay, I meant spectators and ricochets. They also didn't like the 40mm auto-grenade launcher, either...

It was called Battle-Bots when I watched it. I loved watching that show.

Yea, like every show on tv, there has to be a rival show with a slightly different name...
