I'm working on a little project right now, building a Cable Cam for the GoPro. I'm looking to add a remote control component to it but I know nothing about this area.
Right now it's just gravity driven, pretty cheap build. The speed of the camera is governed by the angle of the rope. I'd like to add a third wheel in there for forward and reverse. It doesn't necessarily need to be fast, maybe 10 MPH, but it would be nice to bring the camera back up to the top via remote control.
I'm thinking of tearing apart an R/C car and just using those components but I'm not sure about the weight, if I'll be burning out the motor?
This is NOT my video, just an example of the footage I could get. This looks like it's from a cheap gravity accelerated model like mine:

This guy has the right idea, just not sure on WTH these parts are called and how much $$$ and load they can carry, would they be from your average WalMart RC car....
