Slowmotion videos of a MBX5T and a modified Protos - both brushless

Schulzes are crazy big ;-) At their price level you would imagine they work flawlessly. But no ... brakes are not as proportional as you would expect them to be. One time you are overbreaking the car while only slightly breaking and the next time brakes are so weak while braking the same way you did before and you are missing the next turn (very inconsistent brakes) ... startup with the Neu motor is very poor (we assume the schulze doesn't cope well with the voltage drop of the A123 cells, but we never tested the setup with lipos). You almost have to push the car to avoid cogging. The schulze will start the Neu up but with severe cogging which can last for 1-2 seconds while making an awfull noise. The Jazz 55-10-32 has no problem starting a similar setup without any cogging and is only 1/5 the size of the schulze. Schulze recommended exchanging every component (besides the schulze of course) to avoid cogging. Oh well ... you know schulze ;-) BTW ... your 10s ESC is very tempting.

I tested the twixtor plugin for Adobe After Effects.

I used Proline lpr rims without offset and crimefighter LPR tires. I think what appears to be flexing is due to my very worn out arms (suspension). They have a very big play which makes the tire wander around big time. The MBX5T used the same tires but with rulux lpr rims (which are stiffer and not as flexible as proline rims).

@to all
Thanx for you kind words.

My 40.160 has only one thing working for it now and that's the start ups. It starts all the time everytime without stuttering same with my 55-10-32. Now that my own ESC are out, I found they start the same way, but has more features. Things are only getting better for my ESC though.

Very cool video, nice work! Obviously this plugin is a professional product especially when combined with Adobe After Effects which isn’t cheap either.

So which buggy were you driving? The difference between the two drivers is pretty dramatic; as the MBX5T is super smooth while the driver of the Robitronic buggy obviously has a heavy finger.

[othello]

The owner of the mbx5t drove both cars and is obviously more used to the driving behaviour of his mbx5t. The Robitronic Buggy/truggy hybrid is lighter, has a shorter wheelbase and the startup of the Jazz ESC is very sudden making it look more agressive on startup (more easely to wheelie).

The mbx5t is a very predictable and smooth handling car with stock setup. It's way easyer to drive then the Protos buggy/truggy which tends to oversteer.

I really want this plugin but unfortunatly it doesn´t work with Sony Vegas. Anyone knows about a similar plug for vegas?

+1 I love Sony Vegas, but it doesn't do slow-motion nearly as well as this Twixtor plug-in.

I always enjoy your vids, Othello. I even followed your tutorial for adding live Eagle Tree data to a live run. Very cool.

Thanks. Hope the tutorial worked out for you.
