Cable Camera Design

This is a 3D printed cable camera that reuses the electronics and drive components from a Traxxas Rustler.

That is the titan 550 12t motor, the XL-5 esc, the radio equipment and batteries.

The gear is tucked behind the drive wheel, but there are a few pinch points in that region as well as between the wheels and the cable so you want to keep everything aware from it when it's running.

I used orange paracord for visibility to help reduce the risk of people running into it accidentally as well so be aware of people around you while using this.

I also wrapped the drive wheel with a rubber band to improve traction.

As with anything RC, be aware of surroundings and make sure you run it in a safe manner. This is a very fast system that can quickly get away from you.
