After almost 3 months the stuff from hobbyking.com arrived:
Explanation: There is now a small camera mounted in front of the car. It's funny to drive around by video only. Now I just need to build some sort of "bracelet" which I can attach to both my arm and the screen. Initially I wanted to attach the screen to the remote control, but the screen and battery pack would make the remote control too heavy to comfortably use anymore.
I quite like modifying the car, so far:

I quite like modifying the car, so far:
- I've changed the motor,
- moved the battery around,
- replaced the stock transmission with a two-speed transmission with a high- and low-gear which can be operated remotely,
- added a heatsink and fan to keep the more powerful motor cool,
- made the tires air-filled to give better on-road handling,
- reworked the electronics in the top cover, including a secondary battery and switch for the LEDs and camera
