| 603676 | 2007-10-21 02:20:00 | Alrighty, Hypothetically, Lets say someone wanted to set fire to a radio control car, and then drive it around a barren section setting fire to the place until there was a huge fire blazing and lighting up the night....all for the purpose of a video competition What products would I use?, and where would I get them? I'm thinking on the car itself I would require some sort of flammable gel, That hopefully wouldn't ruin the car until the final act, where the car would explode. And I would need a product that I could saturate the rest of the props in, something that wont evaporate and will light easily and burn like hell. Plan B is to soak an old car (full sized) in petrol, set fire to the RC, and just launch it off a ramp into the back seat....then have an explosion. |

| 603680 | 2007-10-21 02:47:00 | A length of burning alkathene hose sets fire to things it passes over quite well, although I haven't tried it in a breeze. Beware - this may void your radio equipment warranty.:D | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 603681 | 2007-10-21 02:49:00 | Thats not a bad idea, I could even soak a pice of rope in fuel and tow that around, That would also stop the car catching fire....to soon | Metla (12) | ||

| 603683 | 2007-10-21 03:42:00 | I see that, Thanks. | Metla (12) | ||
| 603684 | 2007-10-21 07:19:00 | Thats not a bad idea, I could even soak a pice of rope in fuel and tow that around, That would also stop the car catching fire....to soon I have a few farming customers that use a similar method for burning off hillsides and scrub. They come to me and get an old truck or tractor tube, tie it to there ATV bike with a piece of chain, pour some diesel on it, light it and then tow it around, bits of burning rubber fall off starting the burn off. It must work a treat as it is a common method. Maybe you could use a scaled down version for your RC car. I hope you post a link to the video! mik |

| 603685 | 2007-10-21 07:24:00 | There's a fire-starting product that comes in a gel - last time I saw it was at a Four Seasons shop. CRC is pretty flammable too - and would stick to the things that you want to ignite with the RC car. (Makes a good propellant for the old pipe-and-sparkplug gun too.) Are you jotting all this down before the thread gets pulled...? |
