rc_bombApparently building radio-controlled model airplanes isn’t just about having a fun hobby; it’s also about bombing shit. This plug-n-play system includes a 1:6 scale, 103 gram bomb that operates using a servo wire connected to a spare channel on your radio. It also splits in half in order to carry virtually any payload you wish and comes complete with an impact protector and a bomb release pod that ensures a positive release every time. Why do I get the feeling these things will be horribly misused?

rc-transmutation-android

The R/C Transmutation Android is a radio controlled toy that gives you two modes to use it in. When in it’s android state, you can pose it’s five joints in the arm along with a blaster rifle in any configuration you want. When it’s time for a change, just switch into its Hummer-like configuration so you can use the remote control to drive it like an ordinary radio controlled car. They should make a movie starring Transmutation Androids.

This radio-controlled skunk can move backward / forward and it can flick its tail at the push of a button. The only thing that could make it more hilarious is if it had a built-in spray squirting mechanism. Perhaps that feature will show up in the highly anticipated R/C skunk v. 2.0.

dead-fred-zombie.jpg

We have come across remote controlled zombies before, but I think you will agree that the 4-foot long Dead Fred version is just a little more elaborate. It runs on four DC motors powered by two 12-volt batteries and it can groan, scream and talk in digital sound via an onboard amp and speaker. Plus, you can control the whole thing via a handy remote control. It’s definitely not cheap at $2650, but if you have the means, you might want to get in on the action early to get it in time for Halloween. A video of Dead Fred in action is available after the break.

R/C Electric Surfer

Beach season will be here before you know it. And when I go to the beach I want to have one of these  Radio Control Surfboards. Rated for 1+ meter waves, the electric 540 racing motor will get you into the surf and out. Even if it only works half as well as I hope it would this surfer would still be a blast.

Also suitable for lakes and ponds, just without near as much fun. Slipping into the breaking surf and coming out just beyond the break is where all the excitement is.

You may not be sure that your mate is being perfectly faithful to you. So what should you do? This product is designed for you to test their fidelity. And how exactly is that done? The test detects the presence of semen. Ah, nothing makes for a strong marriage like the random testing of used underwear for semen.

fiestacooler.jpg
Being in Mexico for the week on business, I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to share this Inflatable Fiesta Cooler. The site doesn’t mention it, but as far as I can tell it is a dual purpose item. It will keep you beer cool all night, and when the beer is gone you have a swimming pool. The swimming pool idea is only cool if you and/or your guests have had enough beer out of it. I guess in this case, as most, alcohol=fun.
