I was thinking about that 5-in-1 digital camera/camcorder thing from radioshack for $100. Anybody have any experience with this? I was thinking about it to make videos of my cars.

hey Pede guy 9114 if you pay a hundred for a digital camera your gonna get a piece of crap! make sure it has good resolution (4mp+) and a decent zoom (3x is normal but something like 4 or 5x is nice) and make sure if your going to use the video a lot that it is VGA (640x 480 pixels) 100 for a camera buys nothing! this summer I bought a camera for something like 400 with case and all and I was somewhat surprised when looking around for cameras, cameras come cheap but you will really be much happier with your camera if you shell out the extra 100. I was planning on spending under 300 but for 400 I got a lot better stuff. of course I really like photography so it may not be worth it for you if all you want is a point and shoot cam. I have the Fujifilm S5100 w/ 512mb card, carrying case, batteries and also have a Nikon N70 film camera w/ extra flash, tripod, and extra lense. For me nothing is like manual focus, manual zoom and that nice glossy black and white photo that you created not just I pressed the button.

R/C...yup, cameras are just like RC cars. you get what ya pay for, and you'll ALWAYS regret not spending that extra few bucks.

I'm thinking about getting an E-Maxx, 6 Super Duty batteries, SuperBrain 979, tire glue, and a cheap brushed motor for my 'Pede. Then, for my birthday right after Christmas, I either want to get a Mini LST or a AON brushless for my RC18T.
