oh man i do wanna take this thing out and get it a lil dirty lol, the problem is i live in new York city and the closest park to me is central park which is about the total of 10 15 blocks, now i dont have a case or a duffle bag to fit it in " cant really walk the whole way holding big ass truck and huge remote lol, but im scooping out the area. oh yeah and this truck wont see or even understand the definition of MUD 8)
 
I'm digging the lights and sound...but the only thing that kills me is that the sound with the sound units doesn't exactly fit with the true acceleration and strain of a real engine. It is pretty cool though. The one you're using is one of the best I've heard so far.

As for living in NYC, yes your hands are tied, but hop your ass in a cab, bring your camera and carve out a space in the park. With the right depth of field, any backdrop or scale setting will make for a cool video. I haven't spent that much time in CP...but trust me, there is bound to be some cool crawl spots. I have some pics of a visit there, so I know there is some terrain to get what you need. Make it happen!8)

Im definitely either goin to central park or to new jersey, and will try to take some cool shots. Oh I hired Sam Fisher as a driver and im buying a micro servo for the steering wheel, and mix one of the free channels with the steering, tactic radios are awesome.

Great pics MO! I'd love to see you capture a killer burnout/roost with the dust flying. I have a new gopro and the tundra is just waiting for action, but I just can't carve out the time during the day! It's killing me! 8)

Don't forget...you can turn a patch of dirt into a perfect scale backdrop. CP or anywhere. These pics prove that.

The dolly is a great idea...but you can easily get some cool footage with a camera mounted on a piece of aluminum and bring along a helper ( the helper only needs to be somewhat skilled). I use an old crutch! It's light weight and long and you can just walk next to the scaler and capture footage standing up. You can also get cool "Fly by" shots by swinging the camera around as if it's mounted on a Heli. Let your helper drive...nice and slow and you can get the footage. You've got an eye, and will know what you're looking for as far as shots and footage. "thumbsup"
 
I was on a vaca and the fam and decided to go to the Poconos PA, so i took my truck with me and with some help from my brother law running the truck i took a video. It was shaky but i ordered a small tripod and im gonna make another video soon, probably it will be in Central Park NYC. Anyway enough talking here's the video. let me know what you think...

Cool vid"thumbsup".....like the slowmo. Looks like your king shocks handle like a trophy truck suspension....extra soft. I personally like that style of suspension, extra mushy so you can appreciate the articulation....that's how I run them on my tundra truggy. Are you running any oil in 'em?
 
Loved the video....the slow mo in the second portion was sweet, watching the suspension cycle nice and loose. The fully sprung and no O rings is perfect for scale videos. The photos were beyond cool. Keep shooting!"thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup"

And the pics of the NYC skyline were absolutely amazing!!!

Your the one who told me about the o rings :) and the slow motion was straight up an effect that comes in the galaxy note 2. Im not really happy about this video so im gonna make another one once I get the tripod.
And btw I took those 2 pics of nyc did u like them?
