For those taillights, are those the SB Valenti's as they sell them or did you have to request them to be smoked further? Or did you do something to them? I'm having a hard time finding a straight answer as most of their pictures are renderings with that weird orange light.

Those were exactly as they came. They're also red I know pics make em look orangish but I can say in person 100% red for sure. Hope that helps.

For simple experimentation, mixing in some of my other hobbys. To some known as drones to the Hobbyist a FPV (First Person View) craft. However in this short video, just some slow driving and a friend operating my craft to see how difficult "bye eye" it would be so keep some view of a moving car. This was done in a blocked off new subdivision so didn't get too crazy as was also back yards of some families. None the less cool to experiment and something to do. Next time we will sort a nice area, and some far more aggressive driving for giggles. We learned alot about how to set and position the craft so now we at least know moving forward in doing more and much better videos.

In case you are interested here is another video, no cars in it, but this one flown around 2 miles from my position and done all through HD goggles. I took this a few weeks back of the sub I live in and was sitting in my back yard.

Here is another where we were experimenting with "chasing" went as far out as almost 3 miles and the roof top clouds were at near 9000 feet in height in a "NO FLY ZONE", meaning we knew there was ZERO commercial aircraft in this zone so it was safe

And lastly for those curious, some different country side train recording and such...

Did get this in the other day. Grimspeeds front strut bar. The unit is powder coated, thought their nice name tag "tack welded on" looked abit bland being same color so used a fine file and some sandpaper to make it abit more apparent.

Also I did take the stock angled bars and lightly sand them and painted them a flat matte black to match better.

Does the strut bar make any noticeable difference ?

(Video being processed, coming soon)

its called the
DJI S800 with Gimbal

my uncle is really into this also, he has one on order right now, it has 6 rotors, retractable landing gear, and some crazy camera gear, i will find out the name from him tomorrow, but its like $13,000 lol

Grimspeed made tests showing 83% less deflection and provided proof. Now.. that said does this bar feel on the butt dyno any different than say my Hotchkis bar?.. NO. But from when I first got initial strut bar versus none yes. The differences as a driver are pretty subtle, you notice a little less NVH I suspect mostly cause of keeping your strut sections in line with each other, less feeling of anything giving out exiting out of tighter corners and so on. Some say no they don't feel anything and I was skeptical as well. I went one full week without one and that was after 6 months straight of having one and I can say for sure I noticed 100% just in street driving alone.

Sounds like a Draganfly Innovations setup. That's pretty pricey and beyond what a guy needs to spend. A DJI S800 will do all whats needed with HQ stuff and do it for around 6 grand, but unless he is going commercial then yes it can get even upwards of close to 50,000. My setup is UHF for out to 65 miles and it is a aerobatic one versus a true camera platform per say. I'm hoping if not this winter but next spring to build a stabalized full camera ship and be able to record some car racing, auto x, drifting, events and so on for fun to.
