I think he meant for the radar dish to spin.
That is awesome.

Womo, what kind of remote are you using that has so many frickin' channels? Does each of those little doors that opens require it's own channel and servo??

That is sooooooooooo COOL. I don't know what has gotten me on a R2 bug latley but I am opsessed with all things tiny droid. Yours is amazing, I was watching the video going "man that is awesome...oh it does that thing...wait it gets better? OOOO it shoots smoke."

Hey Matt,
I'm using a 9C Super from Futaba with a Hitchiker attachment from Vantec. The Vantec gives me an additional 8 servo channels and 24 on/off toggle switches. I'll upload some pics when I get home.
Thanks.

How much for the Hitchhiker attachment? What do you mean 24 on/off switches? There are 32 switches. Are the 8 servo channels in the radio itself. Can the Hitchhiker operate a servo? Can you tell I don't know a thing about RC stuff. :lol And I hope my R2 does everything yours does. 
hey,
The Radio has 9 channels....I use 2 for the drive..2 for the holo up and down and one is dedicated to the Hitchiker switch. The hitchiker was around 400 and change to add on to the radio. The first 8 channels on the Hiker are for servos...basically either on or off. The rest (the other 24 switches) can operate any simple on/off device. I have mine set up to operate all my 12volt stuff...like the holo light...spray, scanner up/down etc.
It basically is a relay that completes the circuit of the device. You plug the positive leads let's say...the holo light to power and the negative leads of the light go into the hitchiker receiver. When you hit the switch that corresponds to the device..the ground is completed and the device works. Make sense?
Thanks for the compliments guys.

Actually no, just more confused. I guess I don't understand how a servo works. You need two channels to make it move up and down? I don't get the on/off between the servo and the on/off switch. I get the light on/off part. If a servo is on/off why does it need two channels? Do you need two channels to open and close the panels too since they are operated by servos? Sorry for all the dumb questions.

I'm sorry man for not explaining better....2 channels for the holo movement controls two servos. One for up/down and one channel for left/right. One servo equals one channel. The radio can adjust the throw of the servo...like if I want the servo to just open a panel a little instead of fully. The switch cannot. It only can operate the servo fully extended or fully retracted.

Seriously man, that's really impressive. Thanks for the photo of the hitchhiker. I ALMOST purchased one outright, but then i remembered I'm on a schedule Gotta get my feller finished, and THEN I'll start looking at extras.
But I think tricking it out with the hitchhiker and all of the possibilities that come with it will be on the top of the list.
Great stuff dude. Tha'ts amazing work. Do you have a blog site for it??

well, whatever you may lack in computer skills, you sure as heck make up for it in R2 building skills. DAYUM...
That IS AWESOME. When will MR offer that?
