Vintage Clod w/gopro
 
I've been modifying my vintage Clodzilla (bought in '93) for the past few months. Made a short video with a gopro mounted on the back.

Currently set up with a Traxxas EVX #3014 esc, twin RC4WD 80T motors I had from another project, stock pinion. Modified the Clodzilla chssis. Crawford servos mounted behind the axles. The servo mounts hold 2 servos each. The inside servo is for steering, the outside front servo controls an operable snow plow. The sagging chassis is from the 19 yr. shocks I need to replace. The camera is mounted approximate 10" behind the servo. I'm using the default camera settings. http://tinyurl.com/d3uv78z

Its a little odd looking to me because its mounted to the rear axle. It makes it look like the rear axle never moves. It does show how the chassis and front suspension is working. I think mounting the cam to the chassis would give the video a better offroad feel.

Steel 13T replacement pinions. They keep the same gearing, but won't wear down and damage your plastic gears like the stock pinions will.
