Question New Bright Trailcat FPV

Anyone tried stripping the trailcat of the camera for use on one of their rigs? $60 for a phone connected camera doesn't sound too bad. Plus the girls world have a toy Jeep to play with. any thoughts?

You can get an eachine FPV camera & transmitter for under $20, and a receiver that connects to your phone via USB for about $20. In my opinion, that's a much cleaner solution than hacking up a cheap toy with FPV.

I found a broken trail cat at a thrift store today for 5 bucks. I figured for $5 it's worth a shot. The camera has a little wire for a antenna. I was expecting to just have a power & ground wire. Opened it up to find the camera has 8 wires going to it. Here's a few pics. Since the antenna is on the camera I didn't expect to find all these wires. Can anyone with chip board knowledge give me a hand finding the power & ground?
