Venom Creeper video

Finally!  I got my first video of the Venom Creeper done and uploaded.  No trailer for this one.  When going over the footage, I didn't have the proper shots suggested for the iMovie trailer templates.  But first....

And now for the feature film:

Venom Creeper setup:

• Venom Dig Unit using stock Venom servo
• Venom Remote Dif Lockers using stock Venom servos
• TowerPro MG946R servos for 4WS
• Novak Eiger ESC
• Axial 55t brushed motor
• Spektrum DX6i radio
• Venom Group 5000mAh NiMH 7.2v battery

I have been having problems with the rear diff unlock by itself.  This has been a problem for some time, and I may have to do a rebuild of the rear axle to get it sorted out.  Until then, I'll just run with it.  It adds to the challenge.  This body also has a light kit added to.  So the next film project is to get some night time runs to show them off.

This time around I went back to iMovie for iPhone and used one of the themes there.  The title segments are OK but could use more adjustments for font formatting and possibly location.  For the actual title and end credit segments, I used still photos enhanced with Strip Designer.  For the end shot, I used the fun Action Movie FX app.  I'm still having fun filming and editing with my iPhone.

I didn't get it uploaded earlier, but here is a movie poster for the SCX10 Trail Honcho:

Happy Crawling!

Honcho mods

Well maybe not really mods, but more like add-ons.

I finally started and completed a mod idea that I found when researching the SCX10 kit.  It basically adds some body panels to the rear section, and some more lights.  Here is the YouTube video that inspired my mod.  I actually have to give credit to RCBitz for helping me make the decision to purchase the SCX10 Trail Honcho.  He has a decent step-by-step assembly video series, and that starts here.

In addition to the mod, I also add some interior details: a pair of guns.

Not bad for amateur work.  Now I just need to get some working lights.
