Took a little while, but here is the first video; its a good one:

I love this buggy so much, just gotta sort out one or two more niggles to get it running 100%. Tyres need gluing to the rims, servo horn needs some attention as its not a low-profile design like the original ( need a futaba servo horn that isnt feeble and liable to snap ). I took the buggy out on friday and had about 50 minutes of on/off running time, then after one last tree jump it landed awkwardly and broke the servo horn. The footage I got that day was terrible so I took the buggy out for another run on sunday; much better result. I shot some good onboard video and some great video by holding the mini camera in my mouth using one of the supplied mounts- much better than mounting the camera to my head or the tx, but you do get some nice heavy breathing in the video as a result- cant be helped, but I'll breath more quietly next time

I think I may look into getting some different rims and tires though as these all-terrain stockers are pretty naff in the grass and leaves, need something more like mulchers or bowties I think, though Im open to suggestions for sure ( 12mm hex , ballbearings on the front wheels inside & out- think: rustler I suppose ).

Enjoy
