OT: New Gas RC Truck Video

[funman1]

Well I bought a gas RC truck again (My last one was stolen)
It's an Team Losi LST 2
Top speed about 45 MPH, but it's made for jumping!!

So I took the truck out today and did some pretty pathetic jumps (Need to rescape the dirt ALOT there, but forgot the shovel!!)
But it's my first video of the LST2
The one in the video is completely stock except for the roll cage.
We did not break a single thing in this video!

I used a hacked Rite Aid / CVS disposable camcorder so the quality is not great (Youtube did not help the quality either!),
but we have already attached the camera to the truck for a quick test and it looks promising,
the camcorder only cost $29.99
and if hacked, you can empty the video yourself, change the batteries (2x AA's), and shoot video again, and again.

So for only 30 bucks, I'm willing to strap it to the truck and do crazy stuff with it.
Right now we are modding the camera to fit in the truck better,
and have the camera power pulled right from the servo power (to reduce size and weight of the camera)

I will post more on that as it develops, anyways here's some screen shots from the video

And here's the youtube link to the video.

I have one of the original Nitro Revos with the 2.5 motor. But I haven't ran it in over a year, I don't really like the maintence on it.
And it always runs way to hot.

I think I will trade it for something else, maybe an electric car, another tank, corals...eh?

RC Helicopters have been famous for having a learning curve, this one is no exception. I pretty much break something everytime I fly it.

Check the link, there are a few videos on there as well as Youtube.

Steve, you're a bad influence on me! Since I visited your house, I've got about 5 grand of "be like Steve" projects in the queue (arcade machine, terabyte hard drives, R/C cars) etc.... I so want to strap one of my Shih-Tzus into a 1/8 scale ducted fan F-16. Did I say that out loud?
