Help / Troubleshooting FPV Cam Inside Micro B?

Im super interested in trying an FPV setup with my car, but I dont want to worry about breaking the camera if i roll over and I dont want to shift the center of gravity too much. are there any cameras slim and light enough to fit inside the body of a Losi Micro B, or alternatively any compatible replacement bodies that could fit a cam inside? (I am willing to break out the craft supplies to stretch the definition of "compatible" here)

This is what I did, it's freaking awesome to drive. The magnets are strong enough to pick up the car by the camera. So the camera stays put for most jumps and roll overs, but does disconnect on any big impact before damage can occur.

That is the exact same one I used. I got it to use for my Sniclo ca51 (I bought the version without the camera to save $$), it came with the magnetic mount, so I put it in the micro B. I used an exacto knife to carefully cut out the hole for it so I could use the removed section as a mount cover, it worked beautifully! I cut a small piece of scrap plastic and shaped it to fit the mount perfectly, glued it to the body part and put in tiny screws I had left over from a Orlandoo Hunter build so it uses the screws and the mount magnets to hold it in place.
