I decided to build a camera car to capture some of the sidewayz slide action at all the drift tracks. I had an old Tamiya M-05 Mini Cooper in the shop and made it into the new camera car. I cut out the front and side windows, built a custom roll cage out of styrene tubing. Cut a servo into the chassis, to mount the GoPro, so it turns with the steering. I’ve done a few more mods to it since this video weekend, I added a servo to the steering wheel with an arm on it, cut out the back window for another GoPro rear view action.
