talking of joystick, i saw that my knob is delayed. stuck in customs or something.
Mr.kenchan, you will have to aware what kind of joystick control you use, because a regular stick controller for R/C car, the stick will spring back to center, so you won't be able to 'fix' the GoPro at a certain angle.

You will need a stick control for R/C plane, the stick on those control does not center itself.... but those control are more expensive.

Also, for the servo, make sure it's high-torque and low-speed thus the servo can rotate/turn the GoPro without getting overload on its motor.

And how to power-up the servo is tricky too, well, you should be able to connect a AA battery module to the receiver thus power to the servo.

after checking several places including my dealer and a few tire shops, all of them mentioned that when factory installed TPMS are removed from factory wheels, they use rubber stems instead of metal ones. one dealer even told me the sport 19's and nismo's both come with rubber stems if you buy the wheels separately and so they use what is specified by nissan.



am i being to anal about valve stems?
