On-Board my Nitro Buggy (with unplanned ending...)

I was bored this morning so I decided to have a go strapping my digi-cam to my buggy. This is the result:

It's raw footage, and the middle is mostly going around in circles. So if it bores you head to the last 30s and watch from there

I had to fiddle a little at the beginning since I had the pull cord trapped under the body work and forgot to prime it

I like the "oops" right at the end :P.

I am reminded of how much fun my Inferno was to start.
Not to mention how noisy the drivetrain is.
Cool vid

You should give it a raz out on the road or your local track with the camera attached. Less bumps.

that was fun to watch =]

Ive tried something similar on my electric drift car but the vibrations distort the image too much.

What did you use to mount the camera ? The best idea I could come up with is using lacky bands around the .. poll things (what ever they're called)

I was recently given a nitro car and have been playing around a bit. Loads of fun so far.

if anyone is interested, some footage of mine.

and what happens when you suck at controlling the thing and break something
