Amazing work on that. Looking forward to seeing the video of the experience as well

"Beautiful. You're hired." (to work on mine) haha Jokes aside, I've been wanting to do something similar to my Spirit trap and this has definitely given me some inspiration. Fantastic work on the mods as well as the channel. Been enjoying everything since I subscribed. Keep up the good work!

I went to Cortland too! Love what you've got going on brother!

So this was fun! How did I do? Have you ever tried to mod a toy before?

I Want this!

this is so cool!

Awesome!!!

Neat idea! I went a different route with the door opening. I was bored and reversed engineered the Walmart Rubies version's gear box they used. 3d print the case and actuator, along with some gears and the 5v motor and limit switches and re use the existing bomb bay door mechanism in the Spirit Trap and voila. Add a pedal and you have a remote opening trap. It just slides in as an assembly like the Rubie trap like it belongs there.

Yes!!!

Excellent job on the prop creation. When are they going to make you head of the art department for the next film? 🙂

Been waiting for this one mate! Lets see the pro in action😊😉

Awesome job! Can you share a link to that red led hat light that you installed over the existing one on the spirit trap? I'd like to add that mod to a few and its easier than opening them all up to replace the whole thing.
-
Awesome build. How did you end up controlling the servo board remotely?
-
Too good! I’m going to have a crack at this, please could you share the dimensions of the piece of wood that holds the servo, did you glue it in place? Thanks.

What type of servo motor did you use? I need to learn how to do this
