That's so bad ass. Too bad it's not a viable product.

 

Next time he should make a car with a wider wheel base to avoid wipeouts.

pretty neat.

Rather than make it wider, CG simply needs lowered. That vehicle has a high CG to start with (it's a truck chassis, not a car's) and the camera/transmitter batteries are much higher than they should be and make matters worse. Simply moving those 9v's to the sides vs the top would really help.

Me and my friends have been building race cars for years (with cameras and such so you can play it like a "video" game) But we used MUCH larger toy cars for ours, insead of one about two inches wide (like that one appears to be) ours were the larger versions. Of course,they had to be then to accomodate the huge camera.

That definately needs to be a retail product, something along the lines of a plug and play system that hooks up to the tv, that is also a remote control for the vehicle. And it should have cannons, with lots of ammo.......

I attached a camcorder to a car I made out of K'nex when I was little and sent it down stairs
