Am I wasting my time with this? Worse, did I waste my $80? I bought the camera for your guys enjoyment as well as mine...... The 1st test is really bad. It's called throw a battery in tape the camera and battery to a chassis plug the receiver into the antique(5-6 y/o USB) "Dazzle Movie Star" video capture device I'm using for now and go. This is me driving. I had my wife push the "record" button in the program on the computer. This is the result after I cut a bunch of repettive stuff out. http://www.75th-meu.com/RCtrucks2/Sl...lots1_0001.wmv Now I have to get someone to drive so I can move the receiver to get better reception and work the computer progeam to adjust the color and contrast. Don't be critical of the video, I already explained the problems and I know it sux. I'll fix it. Probably have to buy a "Real" video capture card...I think that's what they have nowadays LOL I'm working on a body for the front part. I got this body as a throw in in a trade. It's about ready for it's 91% bath. My Slot Car Site Last Edited By: MGS 75thMEU 03/15/08 01:11 PM. Edited 1 time.

To be honest, I don't usually watch the videos because they make me dizzy and give me a headache. I suspect that's why I don't like video games.. The movement is too quick for me to process and react to. I love riding on roller coasters, but will not watch a video taken from within the coaster itself. If it's possible to slow the video down and provide an audio description of the track as the car is running around it, that would be more interesting to me. I guess this would take significant effort, but it's the only way I'd regularly watch the videos posted here. I get enough headaches from work and other aspects of my life. dennis

I want to be able to have my son drive slow enough so I can speak to him over the intercom and every few laps change the angle of the camera and have him stop in places to show some of the small details of the layout. I want it to look like you're seeing it life size from inside the car. It'll make me strive for more realistic detail. Like the couple in the gazebo getting married by the priest or the Hot Dog vender selling the kid the Hot Dog. Maybe the guy thats sitting on a rock looing all stressed out. Or the drunks. The people in the 15 grandstands. Of course I want to do a couple laps at speed, well semi speed. I don't want to burn the car up carrying all the weight of the camera and battery.

I've put up my videos. I think the camera car looks awesome! I'd like to do the same thing to add to my videos. But yeah the in-cars make me dizzy also unless they are on long sweeping tracks. It's just the nature of the beast. I think your idea of slowing it down will work out well.
