Rc truck mobile shooting target system

- Start date
Well done! I had thought about doing that a couple of years ago but never got around to doing it. Proves that ideas are cheap and easy, but making them real is a skill!!

It also lets me drive back and swap out targets without stopping or disrupting the other shooters

I thought about doing something like that too. Heaven knows I have enough RC that I'm sure I'd have one would work. Does the plexiglass do a good job in protecting the RC?

Very cool! I want one with a remote control rotating target holder so I can use it for "running" shots from left to right / right to left. A bluetooth / wifi target cam behind a shield would also be a sweet add on.

I never had to find out in use, i did do a test sample and it did hold up to a rimfire glancing blow. I dont remember the actual type of plastic , it doesn't crack it just bends and it is very tuff for its size of 1/4 inch

Moving target video is in the works very soon, as for camera ,i had ideas before of a pan/tilt. Setup like used by a quad racing type camera system for the long range targets. But right now the rc truck only has a range of like 240 yards with the stock spectrum radio system.

that's pretty neat
Our ranges GM has built a simple but effective contraption simply called the Range Rover. We've used it at lest twice for FT scope ranging.
It goes forward and backwards, no steering - thankfully the range is pretty flat and even.
We hook up a 300 foot tape measure, line it up with our scopes and range away. I moves slowly enough that you can stop every yard, or which ever distance you wish. Two scopes ranged in 30 minutes or less.

That has me think about mounting a go pro or something that blue tooths to my phone but probably won't reach out very far I like the target idea but don't want to risk 500.00 rock crawler rc but on the other if it is just for pellets a small shield like you have would work might have to borrow your idea thanks

There is a small steel plate that would deflect pellets and thus protect the battery and controller. The motor is from a garage door opener. As said it is slow but beats calling a cold line every 30 seconds.
I’ll have to get a picture of the set up

Im thinking to have the r/c vehicle pull the target on its own trailer maybe safer for equipment, glad to see action rather than just talking about it.
