I KNOW!!! I was making a camera mount for the mustang and after i finished that i figured i'd put that little camera to use since i haven't used it in YEARS.
Well low and behold it fits PERFECT and snugly, and just the right height! I am going put some screws in the ensure its snugness, but other than that it is golden.
just gotta fix the tires.....

That's awesome :icon14:
Maybe a roll bar so the camera receives less punishment (and the car has a better chance of going all the way over) in the event of a roll over?

Also I foresee loads of dust and dirt being thrown into the camera lens.

he should drive it on the street only. i have a feeling the vid's gonna be so shaky that it'll be nauseating, right?

Ok I made a roll cage...i dont see it lasting for more than one roll though. the screws will probably snap that hold it to the shock tower.
Looks trick though

yeah ill do it on the street for the first vid or two, then when the softball field dries out in a day or two ill make the second one there, and edit them together. I'll post a snippit of the road run though, to give an idea of it all.

i would actually try to pack something inbetween the cam and the roll cage, just to make it more snug..
but other then that, i am looking forward to this!

I have a string looped through the ring on top of the camera and tied to the spoiler....it is real snug i was tugging on it.
Now I am trying to think of the soonest I can run it....probably at lunch tomorrow. I hope nothing on the car fails. Oh and the camera needs new AAA batteries...can't forget that.
edit: and i found the usb cable that connects it to the comp so everything is almost 100%

no the guy i bought it off of gave me that body with it. I think he painted it though. It looks real nice when it's clean
The only one I ever painted came out bad so I put stickers all over it.

I'm expecting to see it go under some cars doing about 60km/h or whatever its max speed is.

the 'roll thing' will probably hit the skirts...but ill see if i can get some small jumps out of it
The fastest i have clocked it at is 40mph. My freind had his little gps tracker and we hooked it to the top.
