i once saw a remote igniter for a hybrid. I wanted to know if any of you have seen one or have any info on how to make one and how much it will cost.

Yeah that would be pretty cool. I saw it on gorts hybrid and I like the idea of not being near a hybrid when fired.

The problem is with remote control is that Remote-Controlled things tend to "twitch" due to other random signals, it could go off at any random moment.

Remote controlled cars pick up signals from other remotes and sometimes move without your controller even being on.
P.S. I read that somebody used a cell phone as their ignition control, they simply dialed the number and BOOM!

The reciever could get a signal that looks like the actual signal, and set off the ignition. Wires are cheaper and more reliable, ableit less cool, but we cant have everything.

I can send you a prepped stun gun circuit and you can just tell them it is a "sparker circuit" or something.
I could also make you and entire control box. I could make you a wired remote or for about $15 more it could have a wireless remote.

i know you want a remote detinator but i made a detinator out of a McDonalds toy watch a scr and a modded camera flash (the crap i had lying around at the time). the watch had a countdown option and it beep when it hit zero, so i removed the speaker and wired those wires to the scr. the scr was wired up to dump the capacitor, so it made a spark when it beeped. well it worked good until it blew up (i had no idea the explostion would be that big
)
