Stupid Ideas Go Here

CENthasizer · #1 06-25-2004, 02:29 AM

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

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 · #3 06-25-2004, 03:21 AM

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?

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.

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...

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...

later

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 · #8 06-25-2004, 04:48 PM

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

KartMan · #9 06-25-2004, 05:01 PM

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......

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

Mike Keeney · #11 06-25-2004, 06:03 PM

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

Mike

Sparkey_STi · #12 06-25-2004, 07:38 PM

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

Use CD's for wheels! HUGE Roll out!

CENthasizer · #13 06-25-2004, 08:37 PM

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 · #14 06-25-2004, 11:00 PM

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 · #15 06-26-2004, 12:31 AM

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

corvette66 · #16 06-26-2004, 03:20 AM

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 · #17 06-26-2004, 03:37 AM

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

corvette66 · #18 06-26-2004, 03:41 AM

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 · #19 06-26-2004, 04:11 AM

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 · #20 06-26-2004, 05:56 AM

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

chevy camaro · #21 06-26-2004, 06:00 AM

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

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

ElectricThunder · #23 06-26-2004, 05:48 PM

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 · #24 06-26-2004, 07:20 PM

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

mook · #25 06-26-2004, 07:45 PM

Take this radiator

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

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.
