A friend of mine picked up a h-wheels video racer and attached a pair of t-jet pins front and back, then we pushed it around his track to see what it looked like ... We thought it was kinda cool.
anyway I put it on my photobucket page, there a couple of videos and a few pics of the track
The camera was pushed around the track by a M-T Rig and a SRT nomad at a very slow speed anything faster becomes a blur. I think were going to try with cars in the other lanes to see what it looks like.
Toyrus had them on close out last year I dont think they make them anymore but you can get them online. What stinks is they are push cars they didn't make them either powered from a battery or rails with a motor. People have used the camera mounted to trains also to ride their layouts.
A lot of people bought these little micro USB cameras and put them on larger scale slots as a cheaper way to do it.
I wanted to put a wifi camera on one of my slotless cars and drive it with live feed to an iPad, except the camera to do it was 400$ at the spy shop so forget that lol
Yeah "Hot Wheels" made for the orange track I guess, with those hard plastic wheels they roll pretty free but contribute lot of the noise to the mic
My buddy got it online back in early spring, there are a bunch for sale online, about half the price he paid for his (about $60+.) plus a few that seem to be original list price.
I think we have a video from the drag strip as well, I'll see if I can dig it up
Ahhhh.... ok.
You know, as I was heading home from work last night (read the above thread and posted at worK)
I thought to myself........ "Wait a minute..... but was it a slot car.... how did it work?!"
OK... so not a slot car. Wonder of you could have a slot push the car......?

The video racer is a bit bigger than a normal HO so we needed something tall to be above the rear bumper of the car so we used a 18 wheel Rig (no trailer) and a Nomad (nice high bumpers) The rig moved it around but haltingly, that's a lot of weight on a poor old pancake, the Nomad had an SRT & magnets and worked a bit better
I'm sure that there are more than a few posters here that could disassemble a unit like this and rebuild it with a motor or adapted to another car "Nudge, Nudge, Wink, Wink"
