Ride the Boomerang!

This is a short video testing a tiny video camera/recorder on my Tamiya Boomerang.
For all you r/c people, it's a Tamiya re-release Boomerang with a stock tamiya electronic speed control, a Super Stock TZ motor, and 2s lipo battery. Top speed is around 26-27 mph clocked by radar gun.

OUCH! MY EARS! THEY BLEED........

@thediemaster sorry to hear that. I couldn't reduce the volume, since my video editor was messed up.

I have this model. Having crappy time finding digital servo and receiver with long antenna. My receiver ant is only 7.5 in 2.4 ghs. Will it still work? I have to mount it behind the driver because antenna will not reach. How did you do your antenna ? Where did you place your receiver?

[PsychoticBovine]

2.4 ghz has very good range, even if the antenna is tucked inside the body. my receiver is behind the steering servo.

you are welcome, glad I could help out.

[zordfalco]

Oh that is such great news. Then I am going to put my receiver there too. With antenna tucked inside. What a headache releif. Thank you so much.

go to ebay and do a search for "micro video camera", you will get tons of choices. Mine is the one that is about the size of a stick of gum. Prices range from $30 to over $100.

do you know where I could get myself such a camera? :P

[PsychoticBovine]

actually, it's a re-release boomer.

But, it's fun, for sure. Hoping to do some off road vids when I get a better mount setup.

Nice video!! Found this on TamiyaClub forum. It would be nice to see some off-road action and a jump or two. Always nice to see a 1986 Boomerang in action :-)
