That was the greatest insult and best ignorant comment I ever read. Having read this comment, I feel the urge to slap your parents because of their lack of love for a child. Dork!

[@FLYANDI]

This was a fun one and I can't believe u pulled it off. Freaking amazing! All credits to you to make it work.

[@PhillyDroneLife]

Full watch.. loved your story telling and camera angles. Well done sir! 👍👍👍 Mikey

[@CDRaff]

I'm working on something similar using ESP32s and LoRa. I should have been smart like you and used an existing car, but I get too in my head about designing stuff from scratch. I live out on the edge of the desert and my hope is to have a little autonomous car cruising around out there for days on end with me only taking control if I really need.

[@headmetwall]

LoRa is awesome, I think even newer quadracopters use it now.

[@Inertia888]

ELRS uses LoRa 👍@@headmetwall

Thanks for taking the time to create this video and figure out how to hook up sim rc and pair the play station controller. Excellent job

[@sawneybean9584]

love your Corgi its a wee character all on its own.

[@LucianoVeryNiceHi]

hey grim, what an awesome result!!! and a great video, i love your storytelling format :) thank you for sharing the fun with me during that troubleshooting session, i must say that i have troubleshat a lot in my life and this was one of the most pleasurable sessions i've taken part of :) time flew fast, except for those that joined our chat room :D keep up the great work, hope to hear more from you in the future

This is such a good video idea, deserves more attention!

[@Jimsimi]

It's cool to see this process of something going from an idea to existing, including the road bumps along the way. Good job getting it working and thanks for sharing.

[@petestarfpv1028]

I use my DJI FPV drone as my setup. I crashed the drone and put it in my truck. The analog reaper does pretty well also. Shoe goo is amazing also

[@ChaddRainsFPV]

Glad you made this video, brother. I get a lot of comments on my channel asking for prank videos and ‘unlimited range’ cars. I’ll point people your way when they ask now haha 🤙

[@xuanminchee]

omg i watched ur videos today and was like what about unlimited range

[@ATekFPV]

Fun Project, I have been pi deep in a couple pi projects this past week.

[@BadLuckFPV]

Dude. I want to build one SO BAD. Please post all the videos.

[@wybuchowyukomendant]

I used to fly 20km from my home to my parents with an old parrot drone and LTE mod, untill some bird fked me up half way lol. I need to build a 4g car at some point, it sounds like fun... Especially since I have quite a fun roads around, through forests and such, with bunch of wild animals, could be great footage.

[@sirtubemaster]

LOL be lucky someone didn't come by and steal it sitting there!

[@ghostyFPV]

I wasn't expecting to see this for about another week. what a treat.

[@gorillalink]

Good stuff!!! Also, some 2 Watt 900MHz link will go nicely 👌with the O3 for penetration

[@wardogdauwdd3020]

I'm actually trying to build my own from scratch and build like one of those Amazon delivery robots

[@manski209]

Great video. So funny i found this. LOL. I'm currently installing an old analog mamba TX400 vtx and a runcam on my truck to try it out before i put a walksnail system on it.

[@JIPPERR_1]

Great work man! Im gonna use this to build me a rc transport truck and go get shit done!

[@Schlapahoe]

Pretty fookin sweet that you pulled it off. I tried it on a wing a few years back but couldnt get latency down enough to fly.

[@crystalclearlightingelectr3263]

cloudrc is the only unlimited platform for fpv in the videos you see they are deffinately in the parking lot with an analog 5.8ghz system

[@Akshatpandey0708]

You found another way for this?

[@SweetKuya]

true, you can even control their RC from your house to china

[@electrowizardworld]

i was also amazed by those videos on tiktok. im not a highend tech guy but i know stuff and i was wondering how did they do with FPV camera. thank you for useful knowledge

[@hydro2635]

Amazing editing, kept my attention whole way through. You're doing something right bro love the vids.

Here before the change of title !

Dope to see you put in the work!

[@Joeyzoom]

This is fkin' sick. Kudos bro, definitely a lot of hard work involved in getting it working and it shows. Idk what the tiktok trend is but this is legit! Thanks for sharing, cheers 🍻

[@EpicEngame]

They literally make 5g setups for using your rc through cloud thats what the majority ofvideos im seeing shown here are using you can order them online

[@Bruce-Gisbon]

You're pretty rad dude. I still have family in Columbus(i'm in HTX). One of them joined a cult a hasn't been seen in 20 years. Don't let Columbus take you.... Good stuff man!

[@grimripperrr]

I bet I know what cult you are talking about, probably that church that changed it's name to try and avoid being labeled a cult.

[@BOTGRINDER]

Commenting before this blows up.

[@grimripperrr]

we will see.

[@NikG603FPV]

Great video. I know you put a ton of your time into this.

[@dingbatfpv]

you should make a relay for an analog system, that can sit on a drone that hovers like 100ft up and roughly tracks the car (human pilot could do the tracking). You'd get perfect video as long as you have LOS of the relay from both ends. It's also probably way easier to achieve than any of the 4g shit you pulled in this video lol

[@BensBoltcraftBasics-fz4zv]

Btw have you thought of using security cameras for infinite range with iPhone app?

[@ssab9063]

Very nice. I like.

[@peter360adventures9]

Awesome.

[@thirtythreeeyes8624]

I've mostly seen the 4g car video's never seen the buying stuff at stores with them though, I guess my youtube algorithm isn't tainted with clickbait stuff haha.

[@oziumentisis]

Sick! I just did the analog version of this to give me FPV on my TRX-4m. Just for shits and giggles around the house and within 50m outside because yea, its shit on analog. Great video Grim!

[@LilwickedFpv]

You are so right. I got Rc cars and trucks and I got the air unit on one of my trucks and it’s great but for analog is not that great 👍🏽 on that

[@PaulTurner24]

I'm old enough to be pre internet. And when it did come out I remember the saying right off the bat was "don't believe everything on the internet". Understanding of #misinformation way back when! Great vid though!

[@toko7746]

Issue with the 4G/5G is that the further you are from it the more the latency will be. The more towers are in the signal the latency just keeps adding up. Hopefully there could be a better solution.

[@LucianoVeryNiceHi]

lol are you talking about them clack towers? that's not how cellular networks work, bruh, but it is a funny idea, i'll give you that :)))

[@toko7746]

I got a set of clacks for you right here. Pow pow! 😂💪 Naa I mean that bigger the distance between you and the other device the more antennaes are inbetween causing latency. Thats how cellular network works.

[@Halfrightfox]

Gonna get that AKK 10W Vtx and see how that does

[@grimripperrr]

LOL yeah the only issue is the ground interference, but I think if the antenna is high enough it should be fine.

[@kwhp1507]

The blue car videos from TikTok are cool but the guy is still really close to the point of sale.

[@rasheednazar755]

A really nice video. So if its legit then why dont companies produce such 4G rc cars around the world? this is something i dont understand

[@Felix-ge4sd]

It is illegal, unfortunately...

[@malachiteofmethuselah9713]

Just assume that everyone in your comments will go out of their way to think up with a potential scenario that could prove you wrong. Welcome to the cesspool.

[@grimripperrr]

That’s actually part of the plan

[@Maxim_Nub]

you probably was walking like 20 min to pick up this car while same time trying to take the shots of yourself running to get it lol

[@grimripperrr]

Actually movie magic. i filmed the walking shots on a different day.

[@Maxim_Nub]

@@grimripperrr but tbh great job, its a whole freaking project andthe thing that you hooked it up with the ps controller kinda shocked me lol i have no idea about all this stuff beside fpv drones that we build and the fact you used some raspberry pi and 4g intrigued me a lot

[@MRdeLaat]

how would they manage their battery. all of those shopping videos they r probably just on the parking lot. but why didnt you use a 5g sim card isnt that suppose to be faster and the norm now?

[@grimripperrr]

Yeah the 5G modules were just more expensive

[@UppfinnarAXEL]

I also want to do this. Have you got a github repo with code or or a video how you made this?

[@grimripperrr]

Well there isn’t really a good way to add this to GitHub because it’s a lot different parts and some of it was just using packages on the raspberry pi, and configuring them in the CLI and I wrote very minimal code. But what I did is I setup an RTSP video stream from the pi and used a reverse proxy server, which was provided by a service called ngrok and then connected to the video feed in a browser with that. Then I used a python web server that was used to interface with the raspberry pi GPIO pins and then i connected to that with a front end react app that was running on my laptop. This app is what read the USB game pad inputs and sent it to the server on the pi to control the motor and server via the GPIO pins.

[@JoeOutdoors]

Best hope they don't add you guys to the drone bucket. Doing the unlimited range will surely get their attention.

[@WillyFPV]

Did you get you truck back ? Or did someone pick it up before your retrieval?

[@grimripperrr]

Ohh yeah I had someone walking with it actually

[@greedfox7842]

so really it only has signal when it feels like it... like my phone it does just whatever it wants. BRO, I LIVE IN THE CITY AND I CAN'T MAKE SEND A TEXT HALF THE TIME! >:/

[@ExON00]

I'm stuck at the networking part. Im trying to make a "any vehicle"-controll-device. I have A raspberry with 4G hat, connected to a flight-controller (pixhawk), running Mavproxy. All that is well and good. But for the life of me I can't get the videostreaming to work. I've been trying this on and off for a couple of months, I've exhausted ChatGPT on the subject... Seriously, he's just telling me to shut up now. I'm lacking the networking knowledge to do this. I also wanted to make a rover(LR RC car) at first, but with the Pixhawk it can control basically anything.

[@grimripperrr]

I setup an RTSP stream and then connected to it through a reverse proxy, and I used this service called ngrok, and then on a web browser I connected to the server of that reverse proxy. You'll have to connect a camera to the raspberry pi and then look up how to setup the stream, because I don't remember exactly what I did, but I think there's picam libraries and such.

[@ExON00]

​@@grimripperrr Thanks for tip, much appreciated. I've setup a stream, I just couldn't reach it over 4G. But ngrok looks promising 👍

[@ExON00]

@@grimripperrr I've setup a stream on port 8554/stream, Im forwarding it to url with ngrok (ngrok http 8554). Visiting [ngrok url]/stream still gives ERROR 404 not found. Im so close.. Arrggh

Yes but you’ll need a low latency tunneling protocol like ZeroTier… AdruPilot can do this with RPi.

[@sodalines]

i have a drone i can fly over 50 miles in one direction. It is possible the problem with a car is its on the ground.

[@KainniaK]

The 03 does not penetrate better then analog. Let me explain. Let's say you have analog at 500 mhz or so. That's pretty low bandwith but a 500 mhz wave will penetrate everything, including the ground much much better then 2.4 ghz or 5.8 ghz. So why does an 03 unit work better behind building? It's not penetration! It's bouncing! Radiowave bounce of all kinds of objects like crazzy. A single analog antenna system is unable to do anything with those bounced of signals because they will arrive back at the antenna at all kinds of random timings. Some waves might go 300 meter in the wrong direction, then bounce 2 km back, then bounce another 400 meters back before some of it is picked up by the antenna. But do you know what can deal with bouncy signals? A phase array system! So the 03 can work with out of sync data packets over both 2.4 ghz and 5.8 that arrive all wrong and out of order because of the wave bouncing, and then neatly assemble all the packets back in order and still give you some signal! This is something that is never going to be possible with analog, because you need digital packets that are numbered, so they can be put back in order!
