The trucks looks like the real deal to me. Nice video by the lil helly. Song is the L.V. Thunder warm up tune. Good old days.

tons of potential here. i have a ton of experience with the gopro cameras and they are great cameras. ive played with this copter and it is awesome too...especially with the indoor venues! wind wreaks havoc with these RC helicopters...

I was wondering the same thing Dave?

I understand these trucks are taking a serious beating, but will they be the same trucks they race, or are these prototypes built to see how much punishment they can take? How do you measure the life of the vehicle (cars have odometers, boats hour meters) and the life of the motor? Will the motors be rebuilt for each race and how many times can you rebuild them before you replace them? The copter shot is fantastic!!

For those interested you can actually buy the type of helicopter and a camera like they used in the vid
Here's the type of helicopter
