Yah a broken coller bone is no fun. Hay, didn't someone on here say the RPM a arms were a bad idea? Seeing since they will flex more than the stock ones? IDK... i run them on my 4x4 slash and 4x4 stampede only because they get bashed, ramped and off roaded. I'd be going through the stock ones like toilet paper if the RPM's weren't on there...but do you want those arms flexing on the XO-1 over 100 mph? Sounds scary IMO.
Yep I am using RPM Arms, The flexing is minimal and only happens during impact situations. People over-exaggerate the flex of the arms.

Had to go and get one of those Hero 2 cameras on ebay after seing your post. Aparently Traxxas has discontinued them.
That must have hurt
Don't get the Traxxas one it is the old model. Get the Hero 2 Motor sports edition

That sucks! Wound up getting a hero for $200. Going to use velcro straps after hearing about your mishap. Did you at least get some expensive footage?
The car crashed, the camera flew out and shattered in the road.
Ive contacted Go Pro and they said I could get a discount.

Thanks bro! Actualy gota give YOLOer the credit on the idea. Ya that thing is going hard to miss, seeing since its sunny most of the time out here.
Yah? How fast were ya going? And how did it throttle up compared to your 4s setup? Or were you easing into it. Was your accident due to that car whirling out of control? Need you to compare notes with the problems i had with that 2200. If you have not run it enough to get a better feel with that setup...then don't compare notes with me on that part just yet.
I was going to put my GoPro in my XO-1, but when I wrecked the car at 97 and trashed my $40 GPS unit, I decided to buy a cheaper camera for in car videos.
XO-1 #4...
Sick video bringit. You guys are killing me with smashing your equipment in the XO-1, lol. Ill have to do some tests once the camera shows up, hopefully tomorrow.
thats why you gotta start of with one of them $20 keychain cams lolol
btw id say cut out the rear exhuast sticker area on the body .. i seen ppl do it on here before and was like they nuts but seriously after I did it I have yet to blow over or crash on any run 70-90+mph .. havnt quite cracked that 100 yet so dont know if itll blow over then lol

I went 88 Mph on the Gps but idk what throttle I was at. I think it was because of my radio. It is having Range Problems. Im going to order a new recevier. I actually just scrubbed the curb and the car flipped.
Actually Im sure it is a radio problem OR a voltage under load problem.
Yeah I havent had any crashes with cause of blow over just loss of control.
Maybe Im just a bad driver lol.
Yea Thats a good idea.
As an offer to any one out there I have a pretty hefty discount on some really nice POV cameras. Pm me if interested.
