Default Any good On-board video cameras for off-road cars?

hey guys. im interested in recording some of my races with a small on-board camera. I run on a astro turf off road track that isn't too bumpy but with jumps. just looking to see if anyone had any good luck with a small FPV camera on a off road car, let me know. thanks.

I'd spend the $$$ and get the replay camera.

you need a camera with a very high frame rate, you have no idea how fast you turn until you see it on camera, even when I ran dirt someone made an on board vid and one turn was a blur for a second.

Give a look at 808#16 V2 with lens D 120° (720p 30fps)

http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1556994

39$ shipped, dont worry about crashing at this price

Here is a video with a 808#16 V1 with iphone wide lens on my 22 (quality is not as good as V2 vith 120° lens, there is more vignetting)

A local at my track used a keychain camera to post the video in this post. I think the one he bought was ~$50. On eBay, prices range all over and they look the same. Might be able to do it for $15-20.
