The Stampede Project Squirt-Pede (Practice use - flower watering)

The Stampede Project Squirt-Pede (Practice use - flower watering)

Pretty simple project and recipe for fun.

1 - TQ3 Three channel Transmitter and Receiver
1- Squirt gun of your choice small enough that your RC can carry it
1- Spare servo of your choice (I used a old 2018)
1 - Short servo horn
1 - Package of "Industrial Velcro"
2-4 - Zip Ties

Install receiver on vehicle as usual. Velcro servo to squirt gun, fashion servo horn to a zip tie and that zip tie to another one going around the trigger. Velcro the squirt gun assembly to the body and plug in servo. Typically nets 5-6 foot range. NOTE if you have a smart dog as mine is, he will run in fear as soon as it squirts just once.

Let it be known that all manner of devices will don the Ultra-Pede. Now where is my air horn and paintball gun...
