Get In The (R/C) Warthog!

Kotaku reader Dan S. noticed that the MacFarlane Toys’ Halo: Reach Warthog perfectly matched the chassis of one of his remote-controlled vehicles. “The wheels started turning in my head,” Dan says, “pardon the pun.”

“So I acquired said Warthog toy and promptly Frankensteined the two items together,” he told Kotaku, “added some hi-intensity LEDs and came up with what I think is the world’s first 35 mph (56km/h) R/C warthog.”

The speed is the key distinguisher. Other R/C Warthogs have been made before. Thanks Dan!

    Dan needs to add a button so it can right itself if it flips over.

    Dan needs to make the gattling gun on the back fire ammo, infinite ammo.
