Just want to give a quick mention,  be careful of what music you use on youtube, its they may pull the audio on you.  try to find some generic stuff.

hey thanks.
i just "watch and learn", watched a lot of top gear videos and others on youtube, observe their shooting angle and camera movement and all that, and just played around on some video editing software that i wasnt really that familiar with; i mean, if you really spend a couple weeks trying to make a good short clip you will, its just time.

I should get a 1/8th, only problem is that i wont be able to run a nitro in winter here, but i definately want to run a nitro.

1/8th nitro is wicked fun....I'm sure you have a blast with your truck, but if you got your hands on a rxb or rxt you would be hooked

you could probably get one of those break in cozy's for the head and stick it on there for winter driving...should retain the heat well enough to keep it running in the cold...and you can always seal up your electronics...small bead of RTV around the top of the radio box...let it fully cure, then pop your lid on and you've got a water tight seal (remember to also seal the hole at the bottom of the box where the wires pass through). as for the servos...mine have been wet a few times by accident, and they still work great...arent they sealed fairly well, any way though? I'm sure we can figure something out for a winter nitro.

You can make it as long as you like, i would reccomend 1-2 minutes max, attention spans usually dont last too long and people will just skip thru it.

thats why I made mine in under 2 minutes...coulda made it longer but didnt want it to drag out....reason I had mine posted so soon is I was already working on it before the contest...I like the idea of making usermercials after seein the one Eddie had posted...I think mercials made by actual users are king of advertisement....I will most likely be making more of the rxb-1 and will start to making some of my other himotos...if you dont get all your ideas in one usermercial you can make more...
