Stupid Ideas Go Here

[CENthasizer]

Ok for all of you with the intent of making a super fast but dont have a clue how, and are just putting out random ideas... put them here

For those of you who have been scorned by the decision of having the race in Cali.... put ur thoughts here

For those of you who still think using a rocket propelled rc bomb full of nitrous, and "superchargers" please put all you good ideas here...

This way we can round up the Geniuses in one thread....

thanks

[Mike Keeney]

Uhh, I was gonna bring my 6 engine tractor, but I guess my neck is a little bit too red for this club.

Buuuuuuuurp!

[CENthasizer]

now a 6 engine tractor is a good idea... i didnt mean for my thread to sound rude, it more of a lighter side of this whole fastest rc thing... ok?

later

[Sparkey_STi]

lighter?.... gives me an idea. I can use a nitro engine (with a 6 speed of course...) and when it maxes out, have another servo attached to a lighter that lauches a rocket engine!!!!!!!!

Hrm... now what to make it out of?
I think ill have the chassis be. - Styrofoam. Gives it big sidwalls and is yet light. Ill have it set .01 mm of the ground with a wheely bar so it cant take off.... I will only put in every other screw so that i can save weight - and drill the chassis for EXTRA Weight loss!. Then... just to make sure its light, put it on a diet...

Ill think about how i will connect the drive chain and use shocks some how in there later. Those arnt important.

[Hz-R]

I'm in the process of designing a mouse powered car. They would run in a mill which powers the back wheels. I'll put a big lump of cheese on the front of the chassis. The more throttle I apply, the more of the cheese will be visible, the faster they run.
I might need a gearbox, and maybe I can train one of the mice to change gears.
I want to use McDonalds drinkings straws for a chassis, cause they are light, have a very small frontal area and are flexible so they soak up all the bumps and I wouldn't need a suspension!
The fluid dynamics program is still calculating how much mousepower I'll need. (1 mousepower is about 0.01 HP, but I reckon I don't need much because of their aerodynamic fur)

By the way, for all you animal lovers, they will get crash helmets of course in case something goed wrong...

[CENthasizer]

I hear bread works good too, maybe bread with chese on it? and i have an idea for brakes, i have some rat poision here if you want to borrow. I think you will stop pretty fast....although it says on the packet it takes 4 days to work, haha almost sounds like a Genisis' brakes!

anyway i am still thinking about my top secret idea... but i will be sure to share it with u guys...

[Doahh1139]

I'm thinking of using four .46 engines and 67 speed trans in the middle!

But i live in CA but it is still 400 miles from where i live :/

Someone can use my idea if you want

[badtodabone]

a clod with a 2 turn motor 34 cells. and a high riding suspension. can you say crash?

[KartMan]

Here is the master idea. And, there is no speed limit. If you run 6 tires and wheels. EXCEPT, you run two on the right side of the car.... therefore, you can just put your car against the wall, and run WIDE OPEN. The outside two wheels will run on the wall, and you won't even have to steer it. This has to work. I would put like 2-3 turbine engines in there..... If one is pointing down, then it will create lift.... and the other is pointing up and back, you would not have to worry about rolling resistance....(just melting tires).... If you used Aluminum wheels, with no tires on it... that will also reduce rolling resistance..... Lastly... IF you took any of this seriously, you are a fool.. On second thought......

ha ha ha

[KTRTS]

r/c unicycle: has a little guy that pedals really really fast; he is controlled by a micro motor. No steering :D

[Mike Keeney]

How about a Mr. Henkey mobile? Could be powered on methane.

Mike

[Sparkey_STi]

... ok... you guys arnt putting much thought into these...

Use CD's for wheels! HUGE Roll out!

[CENthasizer]

Mr. Hankey would be a good idea, the only problem not much bragging rights as ur car is a piece of s***
Be sure not to use a Brittany spears CD, you know its going to break... anyone have kids? put them at the other end and use Michale Jackson CD's, that will be the winner right there...

[mgs9]

ever see thoughs wind up rubber band planes.
Well get a huge rubber band pointing up wards like 50ft because i dont think there is any hight rule. wind up the band and away it goes.

[MicroMan]

Nuclear power!!!! Yeah!!!!! oh, okay no.

[corvette66]

Well i have thought up a masterful plan. I am going to power my Rig with legs. I will start off by attaching the dead legs from several frogs, to my Rig. On board i will have 25 cells that will suply the deeded power for my legs. Next I will hook up the power suply to the nerve endings on these frog legs. When I juice up the cells, the legs will move. So my Rig should really run like hell.

[CENthasizer]

I think they call that French Fast food... they wont be too happy about that...

[corvette66]

Then my second idea i thought up....

A unicycle. No one said that there was a wheel limit, or lack there of. So I will have a large wheel maybe 10 inches wide, by 10 inches high. This will allow me to instal all the componets with-in the wheel itself, including the 3X3 inch driver spot they are require'n. Inside this wheel i will have a ring gear mounted to the inside of the tread. I will then have a centeraly mounted motor runing the ring gear. On the front of the wheel (inside of the wheel), i will have 2 separate motors running back to back with an off-set weight attached to the shaft. This way only one of these 2 motors at a time will run, this will cause the wheel to shift in that direction. Giving me steering.
I call this extra-ordinary design THE WHEEL TO SURVIVE

[mgs9]

First
You get a huge 5 gallon watter jug connected to a big funnle bowl like a toilet ( ever see how fast that water gose down), theres a hoes at the botom of the funnel and in side one part of the hose is a pattle wheel which is connected to a drveshaft . At the end of the hose is a mini plunger which is your speed control, the fasted it plunges the faster the car will boogy. Know i your all thinking what about the breaks? Well this little device called a flusher has got you coverd the brakes will be a flusher device witch dranis all the water out and presses aginst the wheels. Now the wheels Man i got a plan for them, Blue sting ray boot insols now those will be
stapeled onto some bicycle rims wich will be good speed to. In side the jug will be a floater, big brown floater so you can see how much water you have left.

My other idea is an impact car. Now you got a liter size bottle with O2 and its hooked up to an impact rench setup. ther strong so you would have good takeoff.

[chevy camaro]

man yall aint rite yall got me laughing so hard that i am going to post one

[chevy camaro]

how about a drag car made of match sticks powered by termites donutes for tires spider webs for the body a can of termite killer and a lighter to stop it

[Mike Keeney]

now a 6 engine tractor is a good idea... i didnt mean for my thread to sound rude, it more of a lighter side of this whole fastest rc thing... ok?

Absolutely no offense taken in any way, shape, or form. I was just funni'n ya.

Mike

[ElectricThunder]

You're all....WRONG!!!! We need a cold fusion powered, hovertank-like, dohickey that hooks up to the wheels of a stadium truck and is the size of a pea. Or you can shoot your car out of a cannon possibly.

[iguanadon]

how about we call nasa and ask them to "borrow" their ramjet/scramjet engine and attach it to a 1/8 scale monster truck.
or
put a bunch of E sized estes rockets on a 1/12 scale car and light them all at once
or
get a high speed, high torque industrial motor that runs off 120volts and have 1000' of extention cord attached to it :D

[mook]

Take this radiator

http://www.watercoolingshop.com/catalog/images/dualhc.jpg

Hook the rad up to a miniture water pump, then hook that up to this CMB 6.8hp marine engine

http://www.prestwich.ndirect.co.uk/images/CMB90.jpg

then gear it daft

In fact screw that, take a hayabusa motor bike engine and perform the turbo conversion to liberate 400bhp, then bolt that on to a 'large scale' chassis. That should do the job nicely.

mook

[SerpentKing101]

get one of those capacitors from a tazer gun and rig it to any 2-6 pack. You now have about 10,000-30,000 volts of electricity to power a couple of 300-size motors.

then put this into a mini-z or something.

[Losi Stealth]

Take one box stock mini t
+ custom chassis so total length is 40 in.
+ high torque steering sevo
+ as many 3300 mah batteries i can possibly fit

Now that i think about it, at this point, i could go better off with rubber bands
with 40 in and all that side to side space, i could fit enough to make the thing go at least 120mph. :cool:

[losifreak107]

im gonna build a straw car and shampane bottles on the back and paper wheels for less rolling resistance. and the cars going to be held together with elmers glue (because it's lighter) im not to sure about the body yet probley gonna be furry though

[wgbackyardbashr]

CR 125 engine.... on a piece of metal... attached to 6 speed low ratio gear box with wheels on it... maybe a few servos and possibly a reciever and radio

[CENthasizer]

You know i am SOOOO suprised that this has made 2 pages worth, alot of you guys out there have some very good idea's, i think i will become founder of "special hobbiest united" and we can all try these things in a non ventalated room stocked full of nitro, why you ask? because we can... hey! that can be our motto! who's in for the $400,000 a year membership, payable to me only? (helmet included)
let me know

Now how about i get a stock mini t, then take a bullet (.50) and attach a piece of string to it... are u getting my drift? i just need someone who can bring a gun, it doesnt say we cant in the rules right?

[Sparkey_STi]

lol... but i bet the string would have to be part of the legnth. So it would have to have a super speed camera and whatnot.

[CENthasizer]

well if i make the string like 12", then i have room for the mini t... forget the gun, i'm going on to a cannon... aux cannon...

[Sparkey_STi]

there ya go... but they also may require that as the leginth too... i say just use a brick of foam with some wheels on a 40'' (isnt that the limit? I dont know...) minus the gun leighnt and use a Glock 18 C... Zoom Zoom, yo...

[Chris LaPanse]

How about putting in one of these:
http://bmeltd.com/Dragster/images/engine.jpg
That should go faster than 300 :D

[Sparkey_STi]

http://bmeltd.com/Dragster/images/engine.jpg

Limits bud. They have to be within the rules...

Comeon guys! These arnt funny... these are lame. These are supposed to be funny... those things that nOObs think of and accually think will work...

[CENthasizer]

Yeah, like thinking a tmaxx with a wasp .28, and a 4 speed transmission, and maybe lower it 2" off the ground, and have pro-line 40 series wheels coz they look cool. Not bullet driven mini t's! (some people i tell u...!)
I was thinking maybe using 80%nitro fuel with a jag nitrous system on my t-maxx....ok i dont own a tmaxx...so on my CEN TR4...

[Sparkey_STi]

Only 80% Go with some 99.9% with TURBO!!!! And SUPERCHARGER!! With BLOWOFF VALVES!!! WOO!!! Man... have it spool at like 1000 RPM... man... that would be SUPER!... oh ya... you cant have both... so just have THE BLOW OFF!!!

[CENthasizer]

whats a blow off, i know what one type of blow off is, but i dont think that would be helpful in this case

[Sparkey_STi]

a blow off is a blow off valve... lol...

Really tho - It runs from somewhere (im unsure of where) within the engine lines where puressure builds. It releases puressure so more can gain next time then turbo spools. Its just better on the engine and helps the turbo.

[nitroguy2001]

i dont remember what the length limit on the chassis was but this should be possible.
Build a custom chassis of 5mm magnesuim, milled out for wieght saveings of coarse. setup a long arm double a-arm suspension for stability and cornering ability.
then mount 4 highly modified .21 racing on-road race engines in unison on the drive train. 2 in front and 2 in back. run a 3 speed tranny and 3rd gear is only going to kick in when the car cant accelerate anymore in 2nd.
run super light weight magnesium wheels with low profile solid rubber wheels, with low contact patch for less friction.
and it would be super cool to make a low downforce lola body thats nice and curvy, but make it with dimples, so it is even more aroedynamic. and run micro servos to keep the wieght down.

Brian~

[Sparkey_STi]

Comeon guys! These arnt funny... these are lame. These are supposed to be funny... those things that nOObs think of and accually think will work...

I say again...


Anyway, what do you need good cornering for? This isnt the insane speed runs... this is just who can get their car fastest....

I say, just put some sort of animal on it... then tickle it for awhile on its nose till it sneezes... theres 100 MPH right there! Oh.. records already past that huh?... back to the drawing boards i guess...

[nitroguy2001]

you act like the car is useless after the speedrun, it would be pretty fun drive something like that around in an open school lot once and a while. and going fast in the corners. or maybe its just cuz im a road racer.

[eb4flys]

OK HERE IT IS if you really want to see the real crazy ideas then skip to the part of the forum where some of these guys are serious and they think they are going to win.....that will give you some great laughs, i would rather try some of your ideas than theres.....anyway its good to see people on here have a great sence of humour, not stopped crying since i started reading this stuff, keep it up...oh and my idea...........im just going to take a bit from each of yours!! :D

[CENthasizer]

I think afterwards for the people who cant start their cars after the run, and are super angry because they just ran a 199, and possibly got the record. there should be a new contest for just those people, who can throw their car the furthest? Anyone want to back me up on this? or how about, how many parts can you now break in one throw?
Hmmm, it would be nice to strap around 5 high powered rockets and just send it to space or something (this is if it wont start after the run that is)
I dont know, so many ideas, so little brain power... i will keep thinking

[cheechthechi]

Ok mines gonna be super fast! I'm gonna put a .28 engine into a nitro tc3. But not only that im also gonna add an rb supercharger kit with a jag nitro kits. Lets see with all that plus the nitrous i got over 5 hp! oooo yea!

(im joking)

[cheechthechi]

sorry double post

[SerpentKing101]

my ideas...
1. TC3 powered by a B50 6XL; 35/69 gearing (my tl01 has shown me that i cant drive overpowered 2wd cars)
2. E-Maxx using the same powerplant

stupid ideas...

1. tether car with a reciever and steering servo
2. ntc3 powered by dual OS FF-320 engines

incredibly stupid ideas...

1. Tying a T-maxx to an escaped inmate
2. Bringing a zipzap, then bribing the Guinness representative ("Trust me, mister, I will make it worth your while.")
3. stick a radio antenna in your hair, then ride your bike
4. screaming at your car for extra speed
5. kicking your car to help acceleration
6. get a few miles of extension cords, and run your car from an outlet or throw those cords over a transformer pole
7. taking the little brushless motor in your charger's cooling fan and doing something incredibly stupid with it

noobish ideas...
1. im will get a brushleees motor with a supahigh rpm/v and get like 40 lipo batteries so cool
2. i will use this airplane engine with over 7hp then when it gets to a certain rpm, i will activate a mini NOS bottle. I already painted a supra body for this.
3. complain about the location of the WFRCC when you wasnt going to go anyway.

LOL :D :D
These are some of the best ones yet ;)

[goldtj]

4 words: rocket powered roller skate :D

[chevy camaro]

a x mod rc with a bottel of nos taped to the top then a lighter and a hammer hit the nosel break it off then light the sream of nos booom

[AirbrushFanatik]

EUREKA! I HAVE FOUND IT!
OK SO all you got to do is get a rolling chassis, the cheaper the better, then you put a reciever, battery and single servo NOW, the servo pushes a button and...
1.Pushes the ignition button for dual D size rockets strapped to rear shock tower, hope that it turns :)
2.Lets loose the almighty rubberband-prop like those little balsa airplanes and it flies across the finish line at 500mph!?!?!?
3.An electromagnetic pulse which deactivates all batteries in a 5 mile radius and you win, you must cross the finish line by continually turning the servo trying to get momentum...

[Sparkey_STi]

Nice... however, ill tell you now. Rocket engines dont work. Iv tried... I went about 20 feet at like, 5 MPH... and i used the BIG one...

[BPPSupermaxx]

I could go for fastest, yet cheapest car.

I have a box stock, yes people BOX STOCK TL-01 that I put a C50 and 12 cells in.

I have since put bearins in it as the stock ones started to melt.

$85 for the TL-01. $240 for the BL. $40 for the batteries. $20 RX pack, $200 radio...oh wait...That pretty expensive, but ti will do over 80, wohoo...

Mini-T anyone? Hehe...

[eb4flys]

im just going to be the first to run with the smallest cheapest car i can find even if it does five MPH im gonna win, how you may ask??? well when i have finished my run im going to build a brick wall in between the start finish line......job done!!

[Baja-Destroyer]

get a factory team tc3 and get all graphite for everything also then get a 700 size brushless motor and put it in and put the electronics on the other side on top of the battery strap cuz the motor would take up the whole one side and then put as many cells as u can fit in the car and get all steel gears in the diff and then hook up 2 estes E size model rocket motors on the back and get another channel to set them off as a boost off the line so u could gear it unbeleviably high wonder if it would work and how fast :D

[FlashLCD33]

I honestly have a serious idea here.

First, you take 3 Taco Bell chimichangas. You set a giant block on 2 of them, and move the 3rd in front. Then you push the giant block on to the front 2, and move the last one up front. You do this in repeated cycles for maximum performance.

[Toyotatogo]

WTH :confused:

[Sparkey_STi]

This thread should be locked... you people are trying to hard.

[StevePond]

Guys, this forum is supposed to be for a semi-useful discussion of The speed challenge and issues related to it. I'm all for clowning around every now and then, but please find somewhere else to do it.
