Scalextric Monte Carlo In Car Camera Car
Ok the chassis and motor are Scalextric

I decided I wanted an in car camera for my track. I couldn't wait for a $40 one from EBAY so I ran out to radio Shack and picked one up.I wasn't happy trying to double sided taping the battery and camera down so I came up with this idea. I took a Scalextric Monte Carlo Chassis. I moved the magnet to the forward position. The metal base of the camera stick to it very well.
Next the battery....
I didn't like the though of sticking or zip tying close to the motor so since I had some styrene tubing with the ID the right size to slide over the posts on the chassis, I'd build a "Battery Box" for it.

I made the battery box with 2 positions for the battery because I don't know which will be better. I don't want to but too much strain on the motor.

I painted the battery box

Working on a body

Getting ready to make a full body for it.

Some more work on the white then the decals

 

1st Test
Me driving. Now I have to get someone to drive so I can move the receiver to get better reception and work the computer progeam to adjust the color and contrast.
