Nitro Car

[clivvy]

took my Nitro car out for the second time since buying it. during the recent weeks, I added a new metal gear steering servo, adjusted the toe-in, suspension height and hardness. made some adjustments to the shell for ease of removal/refit and fitted a fail safe.

took it up the fields with my mate and had a good run round. use da full tank pretty quick, and it was fun! managed to roll it a couple of times no damage, drove it into my mates twice, oops, no damage, then rolled it one final time and it stayed on its side! at this point, i must have destroyed the glowplug or soemthing, as it was screwed (proved by using my spare whihc lit up nicely)

terribly good fun!

the plan is to attach a small, digital video camera to one of the cars for some POV action (ooer) and im going to try using my little Luminox thing i got for xmas. It will end up shooting the video on its side, so i will need to convert the video to flip it the right way up. Ideally id use a much small digital camera with decent video function, can see a few on ebay, but from hong kong...!
