Odd isn't a strong enough word, but steam powered rc sure is cool!

That is one neat piece of machinery. Here are a few more from this guy.

Thanks for posting, but those things were really strange! I liked the steam powered deal the best.

very cool stuff.. steam is always cool ,and im a big fan of any use of a tamiya mammoth dumptruck

That first video Dave was awesome! Especially when the truck with the cannon started shooting that giant robot to save the other robot!

I found them all neat but odd. The steam powered truck is so intriguing. If anyone comes across any of that stuff let me know!!

The video producer took some time to build the models and the sets, hats off to him.

I thought about building one of these for my bird, but without the docking station.

The IR senser he used from a grage door was a great idea too and the news paper in the tray made me laugh.

Good stuff.

I'm guessing early in training he was rewarding the Parrot when it would move forward steadily. I noticed the bird would lift it's head with it's beak open after every successful few inches. Very cool trick.

All the innovations he used on the bird trike were cool, the newspaper made me laugh as well.

The idea is so neat it makes me want to buy one. I guess I would have to get a bird for it as well.

Not rc, but this caught my eye during a recent search.
