Making my PTextreme Jr. "electronic"

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

    Hallo.
 I am in the process of making a remote control for my pt extreme jr to fire. However, i have a slight problem. I was orginally going to buy a small solonoid which to mount to the trigger guard. Making a remote for it, it would essentially use the pistols normal mechanism and just push the trigger. However, nobody in a million miles has solonoids, radioshack, best buym circuit city, local hobby shops, ext. I just cant find one. I was thinking of Getting one off of a starter, or just buying a starter solonoid, but those run off of 12v DC. Im not sure if i could push the power nessacary with a few batteries. Let alone make those batteries last for an adaquate amount of time. The only option i can thing of is to just make my own solonoid, but it would have to be a spring-retracted style one, which is the opoosite of what i need. If i were to make one myself it would probably be kinda bulky anyways.
 Sorry, that was long winded >.>. Anyone know any other ways to do it is what im really asking.

	All you have to do is buy a spyder e-frame and bolt it on. PT's and spyders are all made in the same chinese factory i guess, they use the same hole spacing and sear positions.

	You could use a small servo. It will spin around with a cam and hit the trigger every revolution. This would also be easier because most radio controled stuff uses servos anyway.
