  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.

          To Fire
          == ====

 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!
