How many times have you wanted to
seriously scare someone or better
yet, throw flaming projectiles at
their house, but didnt want to get
caught? Well, Now you can! By
modifying certain remote control toys
you too can hide up in a tree and
blow up things by just pressing a
button.
Using this system, I've modified
a very expensive tank without ruin-
ing it, or taking away any of its
controls.
To start:
You will need:
A remote control toy (one with
a headlights or cannon button
will work nicely)
30-70 feet of wire (2 leads!)
phono plug & jack
a few scraps of small wire
a multimeter (meter designed
for testing voltages and
resistance)
a solar ignitor
a model rocket or m-80
Begin by getting into the toy. I
will use for an example the tank
I've modified. There were four
screws on the bottom that held
the turret and cover on. I
removed these and the cover
easily came off. There may be a
screw under a sticker if yours
has a warrantee on it.
When this is done you'll probab-
ly see a lot of mumbo jumbo. You
have to examine the toy to find
where the wires connecting to the
headlights or searchlight or fake
cannon is. The toys with the
lightbulbs are the easiest to
modify (a car is SIMPLE). Now
turn on the toy and press the
headlight button or whatever
control you've found to make sure
it works. With my tank, it has a
searchlight on top, and when you
press "cannon" on the remote
control, the light goes on, very
handy...
Now test the voltage. It should
be at least about 2 1/2 - 3v. If
it isn't there may not be enough
voltage, but it still may work
depending on what solar ignitors
you have. My tank had 6 volts.
You must also be sure that your
device uses a few batteries. It
takes a little Amperage to set
off those babies, and one or two
small batteries just won't do.
Now find a place on the toy
where there is room for a phono
jack to fit in with a little
room. The Driver's compartment
on cars is good, on my tank
there is a turret with a lot of
room inside.
Now drill a hole in that spot
big enough for the phono jack
to fit. After thats done, test
fit it. Then solder two wires
one to the prong, and one to
the center protrusion of the
phono jack. You'll understand
once you see the phono jack.
The wires must be long enough
to reach the point where you
tested (the headlights, search
light, etc.). Finally screw the
plug in.
There should be two wires
coming from the light. No need
to disconnect these, but also
solder the two wires from the
phono jack onto the connection.

light
That should clarify a little.
Before soldering the second
wire to the light, check the
phono jack for a short circuit.
A short circuit would ruin the
whole thing. To do this change
the multimeter to Ohms and
place one of the leads on the
second unsoldered wire and the
other to the first wire. The
Ohms should read 1 or No
Connection. If there is a con-
nection, then check the phono
jack for a short. The circuit
should not complete through
the jack (yet). After this
then solder the second
wire to the light.
Now put the toy together
again. Part 1 is completed.
Strip both ends of the 30
foot wire (each lead). Connect
the two leads at one end of
the wire to the phono plug.
Follow up by screwing the cap
onto the plug. The other end
just leave plain (make sure
the leads aren't touching).
You are done!!!
You should have a car or tank
with a jack sticking out of it
and a 30 foot line with a
phono plug at the end.

== ====
Connect the solar ignitor to
the ends of the plain 30 foot
wire, and tape it into the
rocket or onto the m-80. You
must be careful here. In some
toys a glitch may cause the
solar ignitor to go off. Put
the explosive where you want it
then stretch the wire to where
the car or tank is. Turn the
toy on then plug the wire into
it. Go climb up a tree and turn
the remote control on. Press
Headlights or Cannon and the car
will look like it went dead (neat
effects eh?). Then the rocket,
m-80, or whatever will explode.
Then you can drive away with the
wires! Nobody will have seen you
light it up, and you can just
stay there and watch all the
people run around looking for
somebody to blame! MWAHAHA!
