Desert Patrol

HACHI-RYOKU · Post by **HACHI-RYOKU** » Sun Jan 02, 2005 12:08 pm

This is my Desert Patrol
A.K.A. Taliban Wacker

105mm Howitzer mod
Twin Hellfire fire and forget missiles (removable)
10mm armor
Can squish terrorist under wheels in large quantities

3 coats of clear coat with UV protection, so it's ready for the desert sun.

Inside it has;
small gauge wire antenna
fet mod (PH2T style/all NPN fets/climbs anything!)

The insides are somewhat normal.
I have to take this on deployment with me to Iraq so I wanted to be able to charge it off the stock controller. I don't need to carry extra crap. This is probably pushing it already.

Mind you this was a rush job. I've got a lot of other things to get ready besides the car. But it's ready to rock.

Should have some pictures in hostile territory over the next 9 months.
The story will continue.

Fuckin A dude.... Death from an inch off the ground.....lol I love it.

Looks like some beyond the thunder dome shit.

EDIT:--- I'd also like to commend you on the fact that you can see past what you're getting ready to do, and still have a great sense of humor about it. You're a true insiration both in, and out of the R/C world. Good luck to you over there, and I hope you stay safe.

i second what payaso said, but i will spell inspiration right =] well i hope your safe out there bro, wouldnt want to see someone like you lose your life, even though its for are country. I dont think war is the right thing to be done but they cant hold a country for them self's so its more of a needed thing.. hope for the best.

Thanx for all the input. The dates keep changing, but the latest is that I'll be over there in less than 2 weeks. This may or may not be my last chance to log on to the internet for a long time. I've got a lot of things to do before we go.

I should be able to hook up with the internet once in a blue moon while I'm there, but I probably wont be able to download pictures until I get back, which will be in about 9 months. So, I'll keep the camera rollin and update you guys when I can.

Don't think the worst if you don't hear from me in a while. I may not even see a computer for a really long time. Peace!

Oh, and thanx Payaso, and everybody! It's appreciated.
