ahhh, yah, at least you guys were having fun doing it. :tup: yah, i'd try that and probably just get the bumper painted when the time comes. my G's got very minor blemishes on the front bumper and may get her bumper painted if i decide to keep her longer.

next runner up is probably the mazdaspeed3 as my winter dd. i hate the look of that car but i saw a couple of them with just lowering springs and a simple front splitter + spacers on the wheels and it looked pretty good.

found it... 2 little screws near the back of the center console. one on each side. that should give me enough lift to put a drill through the bottom so that i can route power behind the seat. :p

Should be adequate for your purposes . Though I don't have personal experiences.

talking of joystick, i saw that my knob is delayed. :facepalm: stuck in customs or something. :icon14:

Mr.kenchan, you will have to aware what kind of joystick control you use, because a regular stick controller for R/C car, the stick will spring back to center, so you won't be able to 'fix' the GoPro at a certain angle.

You will need a stick control for R/C plane, the stick on those control does not center itself.... but those control are more expensive.

Also, for the servo, make sure it's high-torque and low-speed thus the servo can rotate/turn the GoPro without getting overload on its motor.

And how to power-up the servo is tricky too, well, you should be able to connect a AA battery module to the receiver thus power to the servo.
