that the kicker plants his foot with.

Between Both Feet is where you will find this Foot Rest Block to set the

spring loaded leg in place before your ready..

Check out the Kicker closest to the bottom part of the picture...

Look at the highlighted area......That's a Foot Rest being highlighted so you

can see where you need to set the spring loaded leg...

Remember I said.... Laces Out!? because these Kicker's can swing a kick far

left in a hurry...

Although Carl has found some things to "modify" his TDK to his liking all you need to do is place the stock TDK on a standard base and glue a strong neodymium under the base.
Thank you for the explanation. So If I understand correctly, the magnet is used to hold the figure in place, on a metalboard ?

I'm sorry I don't see how it works...any vids some where ?


thanks ,

Default Thanks!

Obviously there are several of us interested in how you devised the TDK to automatically kick when he board is turned on. I for one appreciate both you and Geno's effort in showing how it's done. (I'll bet many others are watching as well).

Thanks

Don "detroitchild" Lang

PS - keep the pics and instructions coming!

Default This is my Base I use for my TDK......

This is My Size Magnet I used TO KEEP THE TDK STILL ON A METAL FIELD..... it's 2 in 1 that you can pry apart " if you choose so " but not recommended. They have adheisive foam tape pads glued to the base I used along with some super glue, then painted over all of that..


You get 2 sets of these magnets......

Pretty Simple application...... just attach the TDK ontop of the Magnet...
That piece in the back of the base is hand made to pick up the entire player since he's stuck to the Field.. It's easier to remove with out slipping up and breaking the TDK by accident lol.... it almost happened is why I made that.. just be carefull if you don't want to make anything to pick up that strong magnet awight!? ...

Your leg possition is the next 2 pic's on where your Foot Rest is. You should be able to figure out how much Risin " plastic " you need to take off of that Foot Rest after playing with it first without making adjustments until you see how slow his foot's taking to come around to kick forward with the board running...

The Needle......Well......that's a remodified enhancement for my pleasure to see the Kick's go straight up into the air, then back down, dropping the Pig skin inside the 20 yard line " with a couple of funky, realistic bounces " to keep the ball in play for a Real Run Back...

This is a fun way to play using live kick's in my oppinion... I love it! Hey!? just practice, like Geno's intructions say on how to kick manually, it's my same principle with the automatic Kick's......Practice.. . but....with the Laces Out!!!... I perfer using the rubber foam Footballs.... but...I get the same reaction's out of all the balls on the Tee.... If you do decide to use the rubber foam fooballs... here's another Key point with those sticky, tight cuts in them.. I'm using a greasy substance called Vasoline, or hair grease " I don't have that one though lol " Just find something to make the inside of those footballs let go when the ball is kicked so it'll be a smoother take off... Q-tip a little on the foot rest also to get that foot to slide quicker if you have to..
What ever it takes... put it in the Game...

Ok, now I start to understand how it works...when you "pull" the kicker's leg behind, the foot is blocked by the base under it...then the vibrations release the foot, the spring liberates the leg and kick...Am I right ?

Buy Jo you got it...... Well done Sir Frenchman!!!... Hey!!? I whtched you build yours, I was thinking, you will probably get a heavy block about this size, attatch some rubber foam " like runner bands like texture " to make your stay still long enough for a straight kick throught the uprights!?
