NEW Head Tracking HD FPV Takes RC Bashing To The NEXT LEVEL!

This is the ultimate rc crawling trail riding and bashing RC experience! No matter if you bash Traxxas Arrma Team Corally or Redcat you've never seen anything like the Caddx Walksnail GM3 Gimbal!

[@MarkLantigua]

The first company to sell an RTR truck with a setup like this is gonna make a fortune.

[@DoRC]

Yeah there are a few out there already that have FPV built in but it's not gimballed and I think the stabilization makes a big difference

[@cabsbass]

If this item is proven solid and adopted en-masse by rc channels, folks, we are about to enter a new world of rc basher content. Can't wait.

[@DoRC]

So far it's held up a lot better than I expected it to. Being primarily hardware design for flight I kind of expected it to die on the first crash or the first time it ate some sand but the thing's a tank so far.

[@a36538]

We just need a laser printer and a 3d printer… this needs to be in a rtr kit for it to actually become the future

[@DoRC]

@@a36538 Well really just the 3D printer and honestly you don't even need that. You could make amount for most applications out of a block of wood with basic hand tools. RTR solutions would be really cool though.

[@3Y3ECE]

I'm stupid excited for this concept. Being able to look around as if you are there makes it more of a VR experience than a FPV!! Gotta do this to my rc tanks, helicopters, trail rigs!! Well done, and thanks for sharing how easy it was to do!! That it survived bashing... Unreal! Excellent video!

[@DoRC]

Yeah I can't guarantee it would survive all bashing but I'm honestly very surprised it held up to what I put it through. I was kind of expecting to either grind to a halt after the first taste of sand or break on the first big crash but it didn't do either one of those things. I'm impressed!

[@WorkInLight]

Add GPS location and you're away, would be awesome in a trail truck. This line of sight driving will make heading where you want to go so much easier, the sounds add another dimension too, and you get fantastic footage, win win win. I think you must be the best modifier on youtube, and that's saying something.

[@DoRC]

Thanks man I really enjoy these projects and I'm happy to be able to share them with you guys!

[@chriscord6524]

I’ve been using the TBS evo for my vtx, because it has its own display on my googles that’s configured via the remote. It has a gps input that has an arrow to home. From were it was last powered up. Catch up

[@OmniMan_Racing]

This could be the future of speed running. Being able to see what's happening from a 1st person view would really help drive cars at speed

[@DoRC]

Yeah I was wondering if that would actually be practically beneficial or not. People definitely need to try it.

[@webreakforsquirrel4201]

Crawling speed looks way different than 200mph. The link latency would be an issue. By the time you see something happening or about to happen it has already happened.

[@DoRC]

@@webreakforsquirrel4201 I'm not sure that's true. This system was originally designed for flying high speed FPV quads and the latency is in the 20 millisecond range.

[@echo-hotel]

@@webreakforsquirrel4201there is no one racing at 200mph. Well on the ground anyway. This one I think is around 22ms latency which is plenty for mostly high speed drones. At 12km or so!

[@NBC_NCO]

Very cool. I have a friend stuck in a wheelchair. This could be a game changer for him.

[@DoRC]

Absolutely! Of course if the vehicle rolls over someone still has to go get it but this could definitely be an option.

[@just.jose.youtube]

Amazing "review" and test usage! Thanks! 🙏 Loved the video! This must feel like a suuuper immersive experience! The FMS footage remembered me of my 1:1 offroading experiences. :)

[@DoRC]

It really is. I have run a few more packs through both of them since the video and It's an amazing thing.

[@Tattoosandtoys]

Crazy how well that did when bashing. No freezing up. The shaking even when hitting the jumps and landing didn’t really seem ruff at all. And it stood up to it all that’s awesome.

[@DoRC]

I completely agree. This gimbal was not designed for that sort of abuse but it took it really well. I can't guarantee how long it would handle that sort of violence but so far so good :-)

[@AnthraxxRc]

Dude this thing on a drift or speed run car will be game changer

[@DoRC]

Honestly in anything it's amazing. It kind of surprised me how immediately intuitive driving was even over jumps.

[@EriMCardenasRC]

Rally rc or the Traxxas UDR. basically in everything or in a Touring Car in a track😂

[@AnthraxxRc]

Most definitely gonna have to pick one up and a go pro😂

[@RCRoads]

Awesome setup. I like how far you can turn the camera. Perfect for long trail runs. 👍

[@DoRC]

Yeah it's really awesome!

[@muggystreetz]

Damn man. Just reignited my love for the hobby again

[@DoRC]

It definitely brings a new aspect to it!

[@Anthonyholdway]

This is awesome. i can't wait to try vr crawling or bashing it'll be so much fun. It's a good time to be in the rc world. It seems like so much amazing stuff is being made

[@DoRC]

Yeah the FPV technology is definitely come a long way in just a few years

[@tuffy3637]

Put it in the infraction

[@DoRC]

That would be awesome!

[@ruuster83]

wow great product idea. so many people asking how to mount FPV to cars on social media and not a lot of easy solutions, for RC guys anyways. Some of them still dont have a soldering iron.

[@DoRC]

Yeah this was pretty easy for me because I did FPV quads for years so I had a pretty good background. It isn't too hard though and the most challenging part is figuring out how to mount it. Obviously being able to design a 3D printed mount makes it a lot easier but you could do something similar with a block of wood.

[@frankydank7708]

this is amazing, thank you so much for always pushing the limits, you do so much for this hobby and I appreciate you.

[@DoRC]

[@jamesbrown7758]

That’s a who new level of awesomeness! It survived your torture test! Cool video!!

[@DoRC]

I was honestly really surprised. It took quite a few more hits and quite a lot more dirt than I showed in the video and the gimbal isn't even gritty. I fully expected to kill it

[@troycutsforth9234]

Nice job. Don't think it would be for me as I like to watch the cars from the outside but im sure plenty of people would love this. I think It would be great for all kinds of RC racing.

[@DoRC]

Yeah I definitely wouldn't want to do this with all of my cars but it's fun for a different perspective

[@NAVYABHAN]

I am impressed and very happy with the stability of the gimbaled camera system. A purchase may be a future aspiration.

[@DoRC]

Yeah I was pretty impressed myself.

[@JayFaPlayFURC]

FPV !!! Man that was cool. Been waiting for a proper FPV for Rc. Lets be honest HERE. Price matters in our economy. Maybe one day it will be more affordable

[@DoRC]

Absolutely. This is not cheap especially for something that there's no guarantee it'll survive even normal long-term bashing.

[@meirdeaph]

Super smooth and took the crashes 🏁💯🙌♥️

[@DoRC]

Yeah I can't guarantee it'll survive everything but based on what I put it through I'm more than impressed. Given that this thing is designed to go on an airplane or a quadcopter it takes a beating.

Which one?

[@michaeldean7033]

​@@DoRC Team associated 2 pro2 sc10 and a trophy rat. I also have a 3s typhon with a cheap aio that I butchered up the body trying to make a camera mount with rubber bands and duct tape

[@dakotasalmon6909]

I don't have an HD vtx or goggles but I have used an analog set on a Tpyhon Grom and it was amazing. Mounted the camera where the wing is screwed on and it was almost like a racing game. Fairly cheap to get into, 100 dollar goggles and the all in one camera/vtx/antenna combo for around 30. Just need a battery for it or hook right up to the grom battery, not too hard to do. The hard-mounting definitely has its downsides however, but putting a gimbal on top of a basher scares me haha. I will definitely have a setup for my crawler though, that seems like too much fun.

[@DoRC]

Yeah I would not want to put one of these on top of an RC car. The gimbal seems pretty tough but I don't think it's that tough :-)

[@sheiladavis2304]

These things are awesome!!! You can also use those long distance radio set ups so you can drive for kms or a mile. I have only seen these cameras used in the cockpit of RC planes. It gives you the feel that you are Tom Cruise in Top Gun. There are a few different channels on here that

[@dylanwhite6539]

Imagine doing speed runs with this

[@DoRC]

Could be fun!

[@ruuster83]

Active Camera Stability is a game changer, I tried RC FPV too and never really got into it because the vibrations are awful. It quickly reminds you that drone footage looks great because its on a cushion of air, Cars are not

[@DoRC]

I completely agree. I honestly wasn't even thinking about that when I first installed it but it really is the game-changing feature of this system. The head tracking's great but the stability is what makes this work where all other surface FPV has just been a novelty in the past.

[@CrazyBrennoRC]

I have many of ideas for this that's awsome man 😃💯🤟👍

[@DoRC]

It definitely opens up some possibilities!

[@keldonator]

It handled the abuse a lot better than I expected. Would be cool to have a clear cover/body specifically meant for housing the gimbal. Car wouldn't look cool, but it would be easier to see everywhere around you

[@DoRC]

Yeah that would be neat. I bet there's something out there that would be appropriate. I am also very surprised at how well it took the abuse. I figured it would either grind to a halt the first time it got a face full of sand or fail the first time it ate a 10 ft crash but it didn't do either one of those things. Can't guarantee you it will last forever but I am impressed

[@gillyboyNY]

[@jkeavyolson]

@@DoRC do you think I’d be able to do it on something like a Creighton 4S?

[@DoRC]

@jkeavyolson Yeah you'll have to figure out a mount for it and cut some holes in the body as well as make sure it's protected from getting crushed if the truck ends up upside down but you could do it. You might be better off using something like a Mojave 4S though as The body already has an internal cage and a place to put the camera.

[@jkeavyolson]

@@DoRC one problem I don’t have any cars like that

[@DoRC]

@jkeavyolson Well you could definitely make it work in pretty much any car. Really it's just a matter of mounting the gimbal in the right place, having holes big enough to look out of and protecting the gimbal from getting smashed.

[@joelwaters6165]

Does it look as clear through the goggles as it comes out on camera?

[@DoRC]

Yes. What you saw was recorded on the goggles. It will decrease in clarity a little bit with signal degradation but what you saw on the video is what you'll see in the goggles.

[@johanneswicklein4975]

Absolutely project! Pls try to install this in a small scale rc. This would be my absolute dream. So jealous right now, Im getting almost green😂 Can you tell me about transmitter power and frequency?

[@DoRC]

Because of the gimbal size we probably wouldn't be able to put it in anything smaller than maybe a 1/10 scale. The VTX I was using has a maximum output of one watt and it operates on the 5.8 GHz spectrum.

[@HerbanWarrior]

I have had a dream for a long time to take my racing wheel setup and connect with a transmitter to control an RC car, with one of these head tracking cameras in the driver's seat. Even better if it's a full cockpit with linked steering wheel that matches the rotation of the gaming wheel. Take it a step further for another variation and dress the cars up as Mario kart, throw in mixed reality power ups and drone lakitu's to reset people on the track. If only Mario home circuit had been a collaboration with a hobby grade company, id imagine a 1/24-1/18 small scale would be amazing and made it also usable at most rc tracks instantly turning them into Mario kart raceways and would bring kids into the hobby like crazy and the only infrastructure they would probably need would be good local WiFi access points for all the video feeds but that would be cheap compared to most even budget cars lol

[@DoRC]

I believe people have already done the grafting of steering wheel and pedals to an RC transmitter and with this you're pretty much there.

[@HerbanWarrior]

@@DoRC they have, but last I checked it wasn't exactly accessible. Id like to see an adapter like the one I have for my PC/PS4 wheel to work on my Xbox but instead work with a transmitter or even direct drive so you could use it as a drive by wire for a power wheel .... Has nothing to do with that also allowing the power wheel to be a hobby grade RC car with moving steering wheel you could attach to a doll or anything.

[@DoRC]

[@johnsorensen5758]

That's awesome is it easy to drive with that view and jump and land the car seems it would be tricky to jump not seeing the wheels to land?

[@DoRC]

Depends on the jump. I found that off of those gravel piles it was extremely easy and intuitive though with the supernut off of that ramp it was pretty difficult because the nut wasn't leaving the ramp at good angles so it was hard to know what was going on.

[@battano]

NIce but I'm using an ESP32 DIY tacker system for my FPV planes that not only will do full head tracking camera positioning of my HDZero camera but I also have a camera return to center switch programmed and a track ground station switch as my ground station is also a DIY automatic antenna tracker that also has a camera mounted on it. Not sure I could do all that with an out of the box setup lol

[@DoRC]

I don't think you can do the antenna tracker but this does have a return to center feature. You triple click one of the buttons on the headset.

[@MrRedcain]

It's been done a few times and It's ok the main issue is the driver needs to see what the vehicle is doing in regards the terrain your driving on ? A company in London were offering a pay to drive at a local on road track using a online link, no one was interested lol ,

[@JIPPERR_1]

@@DoRC right on! I could see getting one of these gimbals for that quality alone. My current setup requires a reset after a roll over. I can do that on the remote but in a racing situation it means I lose a lot of time. I think we're going to see a lot of custom mounting brackets for these, 3d print files etc. Having a rtr headtracking gimbal is a huge step forward for fpv cars for sure.

[@DoRC]

@JIPPERR_1 Yeah this is definitely a good setup and seems to work well. I'm more than impressed with its durability so far too. I fully expected it to either immediately die after the first bad crash or at least get crunchy with sand but neither of those happen. I'm sure over time it will get worse but so far so good.

Nice was watching fpv rc for some time would have it if it was cheaper and easy compatible or assembled

Very cool camera and gimbal system for only $289 for the pro kit you get everything but the googles. This might be the next big thing for RC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello DoRc, awsome built! As soon as my bank account is more appropriately equipped, I will try this myself. Is the gimbal able to compensate for up and down movement? I consider this the most important axis.

[@philippegauvin4127]

The video quality is sufficient just need to know the delay of video transmition and the range. Need to know!

[@DoRC]

This is the walk snail system and is originally designed for FPV flight so both range and latency are good. You're looking at around 30 to 50 milliseconds of latency and range will be highly dependent on terrain and which VTX you're using but it likely will be farther than you'll be comfortable walking to go get it if you have a problem.

the only time i've ever seen a surface FPV that was okay was one where the person had to do a lot of editing & cropping of the edge of the screen in post. The gimble really seems to have solved all that. Not to mention you can look around.

[@DoRC]

Yup. What you saw in the video was completely unedited other than trimming for time.

[@kodak_jack]

It would be nice to ditch the goggles and go for a small display. The RadioLink 6 channel transmitter has a 600meter/ 1900+ feet of range. This is new to you and a lot of other guys, but vehicle FPVing has been around for quite a while. Have you gotten a real range test done? The RadioLink also has head tracking capabilities. WHY didn't you link to what you used? You link to the gimbal, but everything else is a guess. Please give more info so this isn't just a teaser video.

[@DoRC]

I'm actually pretty familiar with FPV. If you go back several years on my channel you'll see it started out with FPV quads. There are definitely some great options for transmitter range though you might find that with a surface vehicle your video range could end up being your limiting factor depending on terrain. I mention everything at the end of the video that I used. There are several different VTXs you could use with that gimbal so I didn't want to give a specific one there. Everything's available on the usual suspects like get FPV.

[@Apcrawler]

Could you post a list of parts and where you got them?

[@toolbaggers]

[@MikeKirchner-zf7zm]

Last year I had the cash to be able to do this, bought a few rc cars, first ones in probably 30 years, wow have things changed, but I didn't have a clue where to start with fpv systems, and neither did the local hobby shop.....and before I could figure it out, had to use the money for, more necessary things, and probably won't have the funds to afford it again.....kinda regret even buying the rc cars now..... setting them up with fpv systems was really the whole reason I got them in the first place....but thanks anyway 😂

[@DoRC]

@@MikeKirchner-zf7zm well if you still have the cars maybe consider selling a couple of them and just setting up FPV on one of them?

"Now that is gonna come at a price... does not come cheap..." and then he intentionally omits the price. Hey, do they insist that you NOT mention the price, or is that your choice?

[@DoRC]

It's my choice. Prices change so much and depending on where you buy this stuff from even the current price can vary pretty wildly and that's just in the United States. That doesn't even take into account other countries or the fact that the gimbal is compatible with three different VTX camera combos so to be honest giving a specific price is kind of a waste of time because whatever I say very likely won't be true for you.

[@blakamin]

I wonder what one would be like for racing 1/5th scale buggies....

[@DoRC]

Probably awesome!

[@seanconnolly2179]

I have the goggle module that converts my goggle to walksnail it doesn’t have the gyro’s built in for head tracking I’d have too get those box goggles

[@DoRC]

Yeah as far as I know for the actual head tracking you need the goggles l

[@Iron_Condorr]

This is awesome, maybe get a set of "tear off" protectors for the lens?

[@DoRC]

Some sort of lens protector would probably be a good idea though the lenses are technically replaceable.

[@Iron_Condorr]

@@DoRC oh, ok. Im new to the FPV tech.

[@DoRC]

Yeah the lenses themselves are generally pretty durable. A windshield might not be a bad idea though

[@echo-hotel]

I bought the exact K5 to do FPV testing! I can’t believe I ran into this video. I’ve had a real bad time researching this. Love the video. But looking up these parts show some very confusing results. At a minimum of $500 I’d like to make sure I’m not buying multiple cameras accidentally. And the goggles options for connecting isn’t clear at all…

[@DoRC]

Yeah unfortunately their information isn't the clearest. The GM gimbals are compatible with any of the full-sized V2 VTX camera systems from what I understand. At the moment I believe The gimbal is only compatible with the goggles l and you need to make sure everything is on the latest firmware in order for it to all work together. If you have any specific questions let me know!

[@Naptime48]

I wanna seeit race other trucks!

[@DoRC]

Agree. An all FPV racing series should be in the future!
