Ok, I know I say this a lot, but really, this is the coolest tech mod I’ve seen yet. Some clever German chaps pieced together a bunch of cardboard into one massive Wipeout course. Even better however is the R/C with a camera mounted to it allowing users a drivers seat view. But what’s over the top crazy awesome is the retro gaming console acting as the screen/driver seat. It all comes together in one glorious example of ingenuity.

Do you own one or several R/C cars and want to dress it up a bit? You know, give it some killer features that would turn heads? Put all other ideas you may have as to what a “killer” R/C mod would be to rest because they don’t stand a chance against “The Decimator” (self coined name).
Built on the basic core of a Traxxis E-Max 4×4 R/C truck, this baby is the pinnacle of cool. Picking off bodies hiding in the dark is no match for the The Decimator as it features a night vision scope effectively ruining anyone’s chance of escaping into the false confines of darkness. If instead you want to go out like a man and duel to the death, you might want to know what you’re up against. Specifically a mounted paintball guns capable of 20 rounds per second and a “backup” gun with either pepper balls or rubber pellets for good measure.
Damn. I need one of these. Paintballing in the woods would be so much more fun if you had to look out for miniature armies of Decimator attack squadron’s. Who isn’t seriously intrigued by this?! Oh ya, 150 feet is that maximum range at which you and your robotic killer can be before signals start getting all janky. Be careful, wouldn’t want the distance and shifty signals causing misfires, shooting your own partners — friendly fire is a bitch.

The latest fear mongering going on in the news is that of H1N1. While a concern for certain individuals, it is hardly the ruckus the media plays it up to be. But hey, they have to have some story to repeat every hour don’t they? Moving on, having any kind of illness often leaves your nostrils a tad leaky. Such liquids aren’t exactly socially wanted so we wipe them away with fluff-ified tree particles and toss them in the trash. In the spirit of geekiness and perhaps a bit of apprehension to entering someone else’s affected bubble to even give them a help hand (and tissue), the Tissue Box RC Car will bring a smile to many faces. For starters, it brings relief to aching noses in many places. Second, it’s just cool to have your own mobile nose blowing station. As long as you stay within 26 feet of your little box on wheels, you’re golden. As long as you like red, white, or black and have $25 to spare, the Tissue Box RC Car can officially be yours.
