How to Produce a Slot Car Video Geting the Camera Inside the Car With the car stripped (ohhhhhh) I could see how much space I had to play with. (PICTURE A) The car has small LEDs working as headlights as well as a removable interior. I knew I had to lose the interior but I did want to retain the lights if possible. The cars are easy to take apart as they are built to be tinkered with. The silver bar in front of the motor is a magnet which can be moved to different positions to change the handling of the car.
The first thing was to position was the 9 volt battery. This is slightly wider than the cars chassis but because the car doors curve outwards it will actually fit inside the shell. There is no room for a battery clip but as I wanted the battery is permanently installed in the car I was going to solder wires directly to it. Once the car was completed I didn't want it to be opened up again. The battery is a rechargeable NiMH so it actually only provides 8.4 volts. The tiny camera will work with this voltage. The battery is nicely placed near the centre of the car and low to the ground so the car remains nicely balanced. (PICTURE B)
