content: Quote from: olsenn on January 30, 2012, 06:36:24 pmIs it really 88 mph even if its a smaller scale. If its a 1/8 scale, then I would think it only takes 11 mph?

I did a video of a PCB I finally got back from iTead being soldered up and my camera decided to be a dick and back itself up halfway through the 40 minute procedure so the audio is out of sync so either I ditch the video or do a time lapse or something, putting the hook on the delorean was a product of the frustration I was encountering with stupid video devices."video" really is a dismal science
