  Over 100 downloads. Hope you all have enjoyed it. Sure had fun making it.
  
  Check out the one Paul made with me called “DaveF and Paul Go crazy! (vid1)” and it’s screaming up the charts. be warned though, it is over 5Mb. Seems it’s available in the top 5 downloads now anyway.
  
  I’ve got another vid I’m putting the finishing touches on at the moment, should be available any day now, and with a possible raceday at work next week, we might do a short highlights video of that.

  They’re 1.0s, which is why they’re easier to control. We’re getting better as racers, and over 70% of the footage we gatherred was useable, even when 1 person was controlling 2 cars, but if there’s a huge demand for a bloopers video…

  The photo’s are on WebShots (under Extreme Sports. heh-heh-heh.).
  
  The video is on this site. If you go to the homepage for AusMicro, it’s on the left hand side, under top 5 downloads.
  
  There’s not a bloopers video, but we do have the footage to make one. It would be a lot of.. drive, crash, sorry man. drive, turn the wrong way, cut, drive, poilce tackle the other car, oops…

  *grins* They’re popular videos and now I know why they stream off our ISPs streaming server and not the main one 😉 In fact all of our videos get a solid hammering!
  
  Keep them coming guys!

  at this rate buy the end of the year dave you could get REAL sponsors for the tracks and racing teams. is their any way to determine between multiple hits by the same user?

  I believe multiple hits aren’t counted. I may be wrong though, you would have to check with Aaron on that one.
  
  I could try and throw together a bloopers video, but it would basically be a bunch of clips of 2 cars making it through the shicanes, round the long bend, then turning the wrong way at the end of the straight… stuff like that. Just stupid errors because you’re panicing about getting it right for film. probably funnier for Paul and I than anyone else.
  
  Real sponsors would be great!

  2 more booster sets, another 2 2.2 motors, another 3 3.0 motors, and 4 3.8s. 4 160mah batteries, some sweet bodies, light kits for each, finish renovating the house, go into production with the BCG racetracks, and bay off the bills. Maybe a new ride cymbal for my drums, and a top end MTbike. :approve:

  I found out, wasn’t sworn to secrecy, but won’t tell out of general principal.
  
  Over 1000 hits on the video, and I’ve seen another site on the web that hosts it and gives no reference to the creator (me!).
  
  It’s just gone off!

  I’ve found a site in Tas with the video on it too – Mine, and Pauls.
  We’re seking legal advice, just for a laugh, off a lawyer mate. I wonder if they’re linking to here, or if they downloaded it, and have it on their site. Either way there’s no credit given to the creators or hosts.

  OK – having had a peek at the logs (the vids are served from a server with a different logging system) it appears we can tell which ones HAVEN’T been referred by ausmicro.com
  
  …..
  
  It woudl appear that a lot of our vids are being leeched directly…. *mutters*

  Only if you have the time, otherwise it’s not really worth the effort… they’ll probably only ignore any requests anyway, althouh you could block their web server IP I think??? not sure if that would work or not as it’d e the client PC that does the request.
