Mostly road with a dash of dirt this time...

Great video,editing is top notch. More off road !

Thanks Bondo, I do what I can with crapass Windows Movie Maker....

More offroad ay... we'll have to see about that. My front CVDs are about ground down to nothing, and seems like everytime I do real offroad I end up killing a rear drive hehe, twisted one MIP like a barber pole, snapped another and even destroyed some drives I had made from bolt stock. So I remade the rears from titanium about 2 weeks ago. The rear is spooled on my rig, so there is no diff relief when I get a rock jammed in one wheel.

I need to look into another cam, as my FCO looks washed out in anything less than a perfect sky... but still such fun lol.

Very nice, care to post some pics on how you mounted the cams?

Kahlis · 07.24.2009, 05:21 PM

Absolutely nuts!! I just placed my order for my own mini camera!!!!

I know most of you wouldn't use one even for bashing, but I have tried it diffed and spooled and much prefer the spool. Sure traction in almost any situation and I like that the front diff stays calmer when it's unloaded.

Kahlis, which camera did you order? Glad you liked.

I assume Willy wants to see the 3905 mount, so here it is...

Nice vids Redshift, just watched them both.

Bondonutz · 07.26.2009, 03:39 PM

I've experimented w/spools myself and I really liked the way it drove and for climbing especially. But after pulling the diff apart a few times for broken spider gear bolts and twisting MIP's I said to hell with it. If your having fun and decent luck then more power to you and keep enjoying !
Nice Camera mount also.

sick videos.......I plan on putting my cam on my 3905 for some nice chase videos but you for sure have a better angle with 2 cams but Ill see how my wideangle looks mounted on the top of the bed on the body......should see the front of my hood and tires like you were standing in the bed with a cam on a real truck.

redshift · 07.28.2009, 05:35 PM

I need one more cam to be able to do 2 cams on each truck, front and rear. Four videos per run would be a bit of an editing nightmare, but I'm game....

Was looking for higher rez cams, but that presents a whole new set of issues with image stability, durability, etc. So I am looking at the "gumstick" cam for my second onboard cam- http://www.amazon.com/Worlds-Smallest-Camcorder-Built-

This is the same one Grayson Hobby sells for twice as much! Supposed to be a bit better than the FlyCamOne2, and uses a higher compression to get 80 minutes, versus the FCO2's 30-35 min.

redshift · 07.28.2009, 05:37 PM

I don't know why that link isn't working.... go to amazon.com and just put in "worlds smallest camcorder".

I'm on Vimeo now, in my sig.

Thought you guys might like this one, has an unusual ending

that guy totally nailed his cherokee with that plane and kept flying. That mini cam is just cool, feel like a bird LOL

redshift · 09.03.2009, 11:33 PM

Within millimeters lol... but no contact. We did that on a fairly windy day too. Was hoping to get some super low strafe shots, but I had to drive, watch him and watch for traffic...
