[@rango_unchained]

I'd like to see a more advanced FPV setup tutorial where range is extended. I think the Traxxas TRX4 would be a great platform to add FPV to.

[@JeffreyGreen]

Ron Butler there will be a full longe range fpv build on my trx4 done soon. Trying a few different options but it’s crucial to have a separate vtx for more distance I am finding. These aio’s are easy too hookup but I am taking it to the next step. No reason us ground guys can’t explore far as well. The whole series will be on my channel soon. Not trying to hijack your comments guys 😐. Great video

[@Drive_On]

We plan to do this, particularly with HD. Next month or two!

[@rango_unchained]

Thanks, GFRc, I'll check out your channel.

[@rango_unchained]

Excellent, Drive On, I look forward to it!

[@JeffreyGreen]

can't wait guys

[@ruraltech101]

Would love to see an advanced FPV setup. I also wouldn't mind seeing an option to have onboard storage via mini/micro sd for those who maybe want to capture footage w/o the goggles.

[@triplea7464]

Great idea

[@justinbryce1888]

In built go pro also

[@MangoJim90]

Finally I found clear and simple instruction! Thanks Guys!

[@DanielOBrien_Argentiumfox]

I'd love to see some more on fpv. Keep it up guys, doing a great job.

[@lowgrs1]

I have wanted to do this forever! thanks for the info and awesome channel!!!!!

[@Drive_On]

No problem! Have fun

[@Kacper78241]

Does the car go far without the camera cutting out?

[@BrawlerTheSmokyDutchMan]

Added to watch later because this is the first video that shows everything with ample explaination. Thanks man, i dont even have my rtr yet 😂

[@Dosteyboi]

lmfao. what i did was attach my broken drone to my car and done. i've got a fpv car. xD

[@noahkern6742]

Very solid solution :D

[@Dosteyboi]

@@noahkern6742 :))))

[@wyatt_watts8277]

Same I just did a video on my channel of fpv

[@D4RK4NG3L_]

Iwas thinking of that haha

[@ThirstysURL]

Did you use rope or chains

[@Supaspikemaster]

TYSM! Very helpful and informative. I am actually going to do something similar to an rc plane of mine lol! 😂 This is exactly the type of information I was looking for. Good luck to all future FPVers! ❤

[@Nellisia100]

Been using rc tanks in that same way, tons of fun shooting bb’s

[@christopherbrowder4746]

Would love to see an advanced toutorial on ground-to-ground fpv. Ive heard that 5.8 sucks for ground, but nothing conclusive. So do it do it do it!

[@DeliberateNRandom]

If you use a binder clip, you can clip it to multiple locations or if it's glued, you can put wedge blocks in to adjust angle on the go.

[@SpazzMcKnasty]

Add a servo to the camera and mix it in with the steering! Super cool and helps with high speed turns!

[@Justin_Yu]

Awesome FPV setup! , looking forward to the advance setup

[@xXTECHxKNIGHTXx]

I've got that same Hakko soldering station! Love it!

[@jaakkokoskinen608]

Thank you guys, I’m brand new to this.. you just made my battery dilemma go away for FPV. I’m definitely going to try this out.

[@nemoaspieman369]

Yes! more and higher quality FPV vids please, take us on an adventure through the wilds, would be extremely fun at the new Flight test golf grounds, I am thinking also higher quality equipment would be needed for a larger range that the new facility would allow for. FPV and scale rc crawler's (crawler is a must) is awesome.

[@linkshox]

[@JarcodeRover]

I'm in love with my FPV'd Axial Wraith. I've mounted a bicycle computer in sight for some true nr's. But in fact i FPV anything RC.. I've also made an AIO FPV cam from an old Runcam Swift mk1 housing and VTX03 with a micro cam, this is the basher option for the faster stuff. FPV gave my hobby a huge boost! I'm hooked on FPV! The FliteTest episode where Peter made that micro FPV backpack with the dipswitches is one of my fav's and since then my kitty's like RC as well, racing a micro RC car through the livingroom in "mouse perspective" is a wicked thing!

[@johnhrichak3451]

A little late on the FPV bandwagon, new to 1/10, up from micros. This video is brilliant! My parts are ordered. I will try to mount the unit on a micro servo arm to increase the viewing angle, or at least thats my plan. Thank you!

[@AeroQC]

Just getting into RC cars and I plan to eventually have an FPV vehicle for some neat adventures. For now, I'm happy with my 50$ ready-to-run crawler making my walks a bit more interesting; I made sure to buy a bigger battery so I'm not constantly swapping packs on each outing anymore.

[@linkshox]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmXGYaaNac90hsksi=3NtwxTiWKxsBOU7f what do you think about this?

[@andreas.charalambides]

oh i love it, so simple and we all have those parts laying around. Thank you x 10 !

[@FlyingBuzzard]

YES...more videos of FPV on Trucks, Cars etc....and what is needed to make it all work great....especially greater range

[@Krunked]

thanks for this! I watch you guys and mr steele and i am so inspired to get into the hobby! I am a programmer by trade so it should be a ton of fun. I have never been that close to the metal, persay. besides building gaming computers for myself. i am really really stoked to get into this with yall! thanks again!

[@paulabell5435]

If you wanted to go further, get a VTX that goes above 25mw and for the camera- use a fpv/hd recorder like the Runcam Split2 or Caddix Turtle. Also for the people who want to know there battery life can get cameras that show the voltage, would have to power a different way maybe a "T" joiner where the power connects? Just some thoughts on that- thanks for the info on the 5v, wasn't 100% sure on the output power

[@mathiasrasmussen7455]

Thanks your videos here and on FliteTest inspired me to finely order my self a RC crawler and FPV for it. Now i can't wait to get it all and put it all togetter :)

[@Duthisfunny]

Thanks for this! Now i will try this with my rc drifter!

[@TANK_The_Hammer]

I think it'd be awesome to see some more on this the Rock Rey would be awesome for it, you could 3d print a new roof plate and make it all waterproof, like maybe using a runcam split ;-)

[@BeefaloBart]

I used to go to a local bridge, underneath it the water from the bridge drain erodes the dirt and makes some fun cracks and terrain for the smaller crawlers.

[@ChuckCanada1]

lol all my years watching flight test I never knew about this channel till now haha. better late than never. :P i found this because i was looking for a way to add FPV to a traxxas summit.

[@spaghettipizza47]

Yesssss we wanna see everything you are talking about coming up haha

[@SpadedForLife4716]

Scx6 is definitely a contender for fpv

[@MrMikeT89]

Just purchased a setup for $91 mostly using your links!

[@IrishGrizzzly]

Thank you! My RC-XD project will live on thanks to you.

[@stevebuck4966]

Thinking about picking up a traxxas summit and going full fpv, thanks for the tutorial.

[@LukeSkywalker-xk1np]

These guys are having time of their life

[@Drive_On]

We try:)

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

a traxxas summit 1/10 would be a great FPV car, it is not too fast and is great off road. i had one 2 years ago, also RC Sparks did a video way back on a summit fpv setup. nice video btw, going to get into the FPV side of the hobby soon.

[@unorec1983]

Green Gecko Lego Technic Workshop xmaxx

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

summit is better i think, you don't want heaps of speed for FPV

[@fromthebackofmymind]

I got a cheap car that has a GoPro mount. Did not know FPV Cameras were real time. Got a knock off GoPro cam and am dissapointed that bluetooth range is about it. Thanks for clearing this up you guys.

[@paige2732]

Anything with a roll cage or frame where you can put the camera inside. It’s just such a cool view.

[@missakadandeniya]

Alex you also can fix a servo to the FPV camera so that you can turn it around

[@scottvzing959]

nice idea!

[@gernith]

I've seen some good FPV ground setups using the traxxas summit. It has remote activated diff locks and transmission hi/lo gear shift.

[@jotcw81]

gernith Can’t her enough of those vids. You‘ve seen the one with Ken and Barbie in the front? 😂

[@77chevy4x4]

I’ve built a clodbuster. Based aluminum frame. Truck . 3D printed 59 crew cab Apache body . Now it’s plow season and needing a FPV set up and plow just for the winter annoyance 🌨❄️☃️.

[@stanjd]

I saw a mobotix camera. Nice! FPV an XMaxx. They can go through anything.

[@Random_Person600]

thanks man! built my first FPV

[@kevineleven5610]

Thanks guys for your brilliance 🤔

[@05.andimuh.adharyusuf84]

wow so amazing dude.... just like on board f1 camera in the '00s

[@romesrc]

Sick video 👍🏾, loved fpv with my drone now it's time to do fpv with my e Revo on some speed runs. Video gave me some great ideas

[@YaNeK92]

This video was just straight up wholesome! Looks like you guys are great friends and make an awesome team which is a pleasure to watch! 💯 Thanks for making this video, got a like and sub from me to support and i'll be checking out more of your stuff as I'm slowly getting into this hobby. All the best from Western Australia 🦘😎🤙🏼

[@ayebee1207]

You 2 guys. New reality show. Forget Top Gear. RC Low Gear!

[@paige2732]

I took my axial yeti xl and put a session inside the cab. It was an awesome view.

[@djouryhuizenga2846]

Traxxas E-max is a great car for fpv, it can take a lot of bumps and drive straight through high gras.

[@justinsincoise6693]

you guys are so smart man...

[@w8nc82]

Thanks guys. Appreciate ya!

[@WhiskeyYote]

Traxxas TRX4 or summit are very good performing and versatile riggs for FPV. Also the axial wraith would be great because it has a tube chassis and interior so that one is very easy to put FPV in.

[@lexalford358]

I am thinking of getting a ride on. For our little dog. And would love to see the look on people’s face when he drives by them

[@kingwindie]

PLEASE DO A FULL ON FPV WITH A GO-PRO INSIDE, IT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR.THANKS

[@rcautoball]

Yo! Dropped by to let you know that this video sent me down quite the rabbit hole back in 2020 when I was first starting this idea of Rocket League in real life with RC cars. It has come a LONG way since. I've been featured by Rocket League, SunlessKhan, and GamingBible. If it weren't for this video, RC Autoball would not be where it is today. Just wanted to come back here and say thanks for posting this video!

[@runit5772]

Losi 3xle would be a awesome fpv truck!

[@policeswat64]

Would love to see more

[@SpadedForLife4716]

So I thought it would be awesome so I figured hey look it up on KZbin. I can't be the only one who has thought of this. And what do you know! Thank you! Thank you!

[@BigTrainBuff]

I don’t use a plastic truck body. I use a sheet of ¼ in plywood cut to the size of the RC chassis (i.e Redcat Austar, etc.) It’s flat on top so I can rig it up for FPV work.

[@unclebuck5957]

Great video not many people doing FPV

[@flashtu]

I use the thunder tiger bushmaster model 2015 for fpv its easy to control and At higher speed i dont Fell on side in Highspeed curves. And most of all it has a lot of space for mounting Cameras inside the chage so no damage if i got an accident.

[@mikegrimes2836]

Fpv challenge with airplanes. Have someone fly you out in an fpv plane like a LARGE guinea pig. Then you have to find your way back. A little compass on the dashboard for directions. Maybe even do checkpoints or something. Would be fantastic! Thanks for all you guys do!

[@zachbishop3795]

Fpv adventure would be great.

[@mrb2917]

The most popular trucks by far:Axial SCX10II for trails and crawlingTekno MT410 or Arrma Outkast / Arrma Kraton for jumps/high speed runs/insane power on 6s

[@michaelchoate2810]

I've been considering fpv for immersion while beach bashing my hoi wr8 flux. I think a scale rally course would be a blast

[@scamwars4728]

The traxx slash is a good car very fast an would support fpv

[@redtsar]

Yes please, would love to see that

[@Rando104854]

Scaled out X-Maxx ready for mid to long range FPV fun.... That's what I use.

[@ReadySetRC]

Great info guys. Keep it coming!

[@MikeDesertHunterHale]

You can get a "HARD BODY" model of any vehicle around or the Jeep E-Bay is good. Windows are out of the models to start with. Axial makes a great kit or ready-to-go Crawler Jeep Cherokee.

[@Recrussio]

FPV adventures FOR SURE

[@fpvfish6218]

Losi Baja Rey with fpv is good

[@raymondclemetson9936]

You guys rock!

[@codycaple9809]

Maybe do like racing with some short course trucks???

[@Drive_On]

Deal :)

[@unorec1983]

You might want to put the camera in a more protected spot. When I run 1/8th buggy you tend to flip or get nailed in the cornors

[@scottvzing959]

oh hell yea that would be something I love to do!

[@upgraderc8617]

I plan on doing that

[@SpadedForLife4716]

Definitely do a video of a more advanced fpv set up. I want to be able to sit on the porch and drive to the park lol

[@Thesilent230]

im gonna subscribe cause of your links, idea's and quality videos. ps fpv bashing sound awesome to me!

[@radhikatomar7278]

Oh! Thanks so much for your information

[@Libragod]

Need more vids you guys are the best Big Fan 😎

[@Drive_On]

Thanks for hanging out man👍

[@s.e.v.e.n5589]

THIS IS SO COOL ..I'M INTERESTED IN THIS HOBBY

[@jordon7227]

I just bought an arrma notorious 6s and would absolutely love to see some HD fpv capable for use on higher speed rcs. This is awesome too. Would love HD fpv on my scx10ii

[@PYROxSYCO]

Can you tell us how to setup the FPV frequencies? Or setup a gopro to do fpv? Can any camera do this? Is there any type of programming setup involved if we want to make a DIY build? Can we do multi-camera systems?

[@michaelupton4178]

Actually the camera setup was very informative, as for trucks, the ARRMA Talion and the Axial short course struck. Would be interested, in your opinions on both. Talion looks to be the mother of all insane bashers and the Axial SCT looks in video to be on very scale suspension geometry. Down side is both these models are spendy.But there is that new Redcat SCT that claims to be 60mph out of the box. AND a intersting budget truck that is not getting alot of play the Kyosho 2WD with the prerunner 70's Ranger style body and the swing arm mounted MOA, motor on axel, looks like it would be quick. MOA at first looks a bit retrograde but there is metal MOA axel assemblies for high end rock racers and upgradable metal swing arms as well. I have a feeling it is highly under rated model. And compared to other Kyosho products fairly inexpensive. DO is great. Waiting for your first custom build..... done between 4 and 5 in the morning to fit in with all the other stuff you guys do.

[@ryanjohnson3693]

Advanced would be great. Axial Bomber would be good because it has the roll cage look and protection

[@mikfon]

I just did this to my Ruckus to see how it would be and i am so surprised how fun it is driving in FPV

[@jimcollectiblevideo5628]

wow,,TY for the crash course in learning,,,

[@DanielKezar]

yes do an advanced fpv thing with the hd gopro and that dji downlink thing and do head tracking too

[@JunkyardAcademy]

I've just picked up a Traxxas Stampede 4X4: (1/10 Scale 4wd Monster Truck with TQ 2.4GHz Radio). I'm building an RTV (Remote Trap Vehicle) as featured in Ghostbusters: Afterlife. I've also picked up a Futaba digital proportional radio control system (Model FP-T4FG). So far, it's the least expensive thing I've acquired for the build at $35 +shipping BUT...There's no guarantee the battery works, there isn't a charging cable, no servos and it's not 2.4Ghz complient....yet. I'm hoping to install the guts of the truck's controller into the housing of the Futaba while at the same time adding further functionality with including the ability to open/close the trap doors, activate lights/smoke & shound). I'll be dedicating the build to the director of the 1984 Ghostbusters film, Ivan Reitman. Tall order? Got any tips? Looking forward to hearing back!

[@Tintin-dm4ym]

I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!

[@jdjwiechman]

awesome. i'd love to see races with these.

[@DaDuttFire]

and a good camera

[@InvisiMan2006]

Most RC receivers put out 6V and the FPV cameras seem to top out at 5.5v for power requirements. Is it actually safe to be plugging the camera into the receiver box as shown in the video?

[@chrisyeagley321]

I would love to see an advanced FPV I just got the Traxxas TRX4 and have been wanting to get into something like that

[@Crypto_Brandon]

We got the rock Key Monster Energy Edition it's super cool but not sure if I trust myself putting a camera on it I think more RC cars should be like drones

[@itsme_allanp9957]

An FPV tank battle need to happen!!!!

[@438fpv]

i wonder if you guys could add a flight controller to the setup. just so you can tap into the Betaflight OSD and use the horizon bars on screen, this would help when your on rough ground, you would be able to see how far over your tilted. sometimes its hard to judge just how steep something is when your looking through the fpv feed. you could lead it onto more advanced things like a servo driven gimbal for the camera thats hooked into a flight controller, if you get the right controller

[@truckeemick2486]

8x8 large scale capo or kreken with fpv, head tracking and multiple cameras . long range of course . I'd like to see that !

[@goldtutch]

i want camera viewing straight through the windscreen from drivers position maybe fish eye or turns with the steering and want some kind of shock reducer so get a good view

[@SebastianLong]

I would like to do FPV, but would want a better quality set of goggles, BUT with what they run for, you can buy a cheapo RC. My super rock Rey came with an FPV mount in the box and so did my brothers 1/10 Rock Rey. I think one was included with my 3XLe but can't remember for sure. A good FPV vehicle is the head of the driver in the Unlimited Desert Racer. 😁

[@jamesharder3753]

I just bought this exact camera except for it's called a wolf whoop, the thing I'm struggling to understand as a beginner is how to know if a receiver is compatible with it? And I've heard they overheat while active enough to melt the plastic around them, does that mean they were designed to be on an aerial drone that has more natural cooling?

[@KAG-tn2mi]

Those cam angle are critical. Underskirt mission. 😆 🤣 😂 😹
