Most regular digital cameras now days come with video capability that ios more than good enough for You Tube quality.

You can probably get a decent digital camera and big memory card (for lots of good RC vid and pictures) for less than $200 now days.

Chek around on line at place like BUY.com or overstock.com for clearance stuff of last years models. You can find some awesome deals if you look.

Hmmm, the wife just bought herself a new sony digital camera. I will have to see if it has a vid feature?!

Glad to hear that your driving has improved Sike. I was just pickin' on ya.

I will have to jazz up my vids somehow. I have a giant infatable d*#k (not duck, if you catch my drift) costume that would look really funny if I was driving an rc while wearing it. Maybe just stick to the pimp costume?

I'm sure it does have a vid feature.



Please do NOT tell us why you have a giant inflatable costume of that nature. I am afraid if you told me I would go blind from reading it.

Well Jeff, since you asked...

Was a gag we did at a halloween party a few years ago, same year I dressed as the pimp. Really good for a laugh, especially the pic of us all hugging it!

See there you did not go blind.

Did some more toying with the gtp this weekend. Swapped out the front shocks for a set of revo shocks with the orange springs. I also fooled with the rear shocks and the droop screws to get the rear suspension firmer and with less travel.

Also swapped out the kb 45 10l for a kb 45 8l. Picked up a bit of speed that way. I am also going to try 5s2p a123 instead of the 4s lipo.

Had a slight issue, I destroyed the front diff! Not sure what happened, but the car did a complete front flip at about 40mph, and landed back on the wheels! The ring gear had a few teeth missing and I guess that they locked the diff up and caused the flip. I ordered a few spares today, and should have it on the road again next weekend. I need to put revo shocks on the back, and start to tune it, the orange springs may be too soft.

I also have a new speed project, but that will be for another thread!
