Go X10 Speed Racer!

BoomZilla writes ""Speedy" Shayne Barr races Nitro RS4 remote controlled Racecars competitively. These cars are nitro fueled, 1/10 scale, and they can go as fast as fifty miles per hour. To make his racing more interesting, he has hooked up an XCam2 to his racecar so that not only can he race the car, he can also view the race from the car's viewpoint after the race is over. Speedy's posted a number of videos on his website where he describes the construction process. The vid where his car winds up on its roof is most entertaining. Go Speed(y) Racer!"

Re:Videos: What format?

[cscx]

According to WMP: Indeo® video 4.4 Decompression Filter

I do hardly any editing, and I run XP.

Re:Videos: What format? - Indeo

[WD]

They're Intel Indeo Video 4.1
I had to run the Indeo installer to get the video to play on my system.

How to make the 'Quicktime' movies run

[bobdotorg]

While the .avi played fine with QT6, the quicktime file did not.

If you change the filetype and creator of the quicktime file to:
VfW¥
TVOD

they'll work fine with Quicktime.

Re:Yeah, posting the links to the video...

[gabec]

well.. here's at least a pic of his cool little RC car. I copied it to my website since his looked like it was really slow. so if it does go down at least you can still see what the car looks like (unless you guys slashdot me simply because of that one image.. lol..)

Re:Added weight

[bm_luethke]

yes there is a minimum weight. ROAR sanctions US races (not sure about outside of US). Roar rules can be found here, I don't know the minimum weight right offhand though (and it would matter what class you are running also)
