How Much Range Can the RadioMaster MT12 Get? FPV RC Car Maximum Range Testing - ELRS

[@manski209]

My Arrma Typhon has ELRS PWM receiver with a Walksnail hd system but since i build fpv drones, i decided to use my fpv Radiomaster Boxer transmitter with it so i didn't have to purchase another transmitter. ELRS is the best thing that happen in the RC world. All my 14 fpv quads have ELRS installed and i have never lost a signal. Great review as always.

[@upperleftusarc]

I can't wait to test mine out! Currently, I will have to wait until next year, but your videos give me justice. Keep up the hard work! Looks promising!

[@ChaddRainsFPV]

Thanks P! We gotta race around the neighborhood ASAP haha 🤙

[@Asatisfiedguy-b5z]

I saw you have 2 different types of antennas on your air units. Which one do you think is best for long range? I'm running analog. (I thought I saw lumenier axii 2 antennas on the old air unit but couldn't tell what was on your new one) all info helps!!😁 Great video by the way love your channel!😁

[@ChaddRainsFPV]

Aye right on thank you! I do think the double Axii 2 antennas are best for FPV cars, since we typically stay on a level surface (but who knows, some guys might be out here powerlooping their rigs idk lol). But yeah, higher gain for cars since we don’t worry as much about nulls compared to drones. I also really like the TrueRC Matchsticks 🤙

[@curiousfpv]

Your videos are brilliant love watching them even though half the stuff I cant afford here in South Africa or is not available unless I import which is also crap expensive but mark my words 1 day I will have a digital setup with miles of range like yours, you and ADHD is the reason I started my fpv rc car journey. You are a inspiration to me and a lot of others watching your content.

I want to make another FPV purchase but I can't decide on trying some Goggles 2, a new car, or messing with the control system. So far I haven't had problems with Crossfire though.

[@ChaddRainsFPV]

Crossfire is still a flawless option for FPV RCs. I am not a good enough driver to tell latency anyway so I just have ELRS set to long range. I’m going car and gimbal for my next purchase. That’s a bit of a spoiler for a future vid tho lol

[@Magneticitist]

@@ChaddRainsFPV What's your take on Jippers gimbals? I don't know much about them as far as commercial availability but I assume he did some arduino stuff or something and has a 3 axis electronic setup that stabilizes. It would be a game changer for FPV on rugged terrain but I really wouldn't want to put in the effort to make that work, and probably couldn't do it without it being gigantic.

[@LoveWhatYouHave]

I’d pay for a class that goes really in depth on everything, the electronics, how and why they work, everything needed, how to make the connections, the files for the 3d printed stuff, other possibilities and ideas, all put in one place, and possibly if i could ask you questions as i went that’d be cool, but if it’s all just organized and written well that’s all i need

[@ChaddRainsFPV]

Instead of a paid class I can set up a Patreon and allow direct messaging for everyone that signed up. I can also make simple videos (like overview of my ground station) and allow all Patreons to view those. The reason I’d do it that way is so I can make really simple, private videos instead of making a fancy KZbin video that takes weeks. I don’t want to release simple videos but I’d do it on another platform like Patreon. This a good idea or is this not valuable for FPV RC community?

@@ChaddRainsFPV Yes, but what would also be valuable is a device that would drown out the horrible high pitched screeching of an electric motor with the wonderful sound of a ICE motor. Perhaps it would just be something that senses amp usage and increases volume commensurately. You could cover the high pitched whine at least partially. If you could cancel out the sound like earbuds that might be better yet. Maybe selectively cancel out sound into a cat’s purr or something. Buy me a small yacht when you make your first couple million.

Hey friend, I follow your videos, I'm trying to improve the signal on my RC FPV car, a 5.8 signal amplifier

[@ChaddRainsFPV]

Hey dude! My recommendation is: Don’t. It’s been beaten to death that amplifiers are the wrong move. You can get a better VTX, better (more sensitive video receiver), better / taller antennas or even a relay setup with analog, but amplifiers are almost always a waste of money. They burn up and often need an attenuator to work correctly 🤙

Have you ever used 915mhz? I'm trying to find a PWM 915mhz ELRS receiver, but I've only found a Crossfire one so far.

[@ChaddRainsFPV]

Yup, so as of today you have to get a “CRSF to PWM converter” and solder your 915mhz ELRS receiver to that. You’ll get a lot of channels (like 12 iirc) but it’s a bit of a hassle. I’m not sure if any 915mhz ELRS receivers with ‘native PWM’ will come out anytime soon; but this is how you do it for now ^

[@KYLE_FROM_THE_FUTURE]

Hey brother, I really need your help with just ONE question!! 🙏 I’m running an RC8X too. And currently using the supplied R8FG receiver. I want to run the same (or similar setup) for RC FPV on my Arrma Kraton 6s EXB. Question: !! If I run DJI goggles and an O3 air unit, paired with an ELRS module… does that video system also need to plug into an ELRS receiver on the car? Or is the video transmission (to and from) all managed through the O3 VTX and goggles? I guess second question😂: For the ELRS receiver in the car… is that just so the protocol transmits back to me hand radio for longer range? Or do I also need to bind my RadioLink and car ESC to the ELRS receiver in the car. Those are the only two parts I need help with. 1.Does video get transmitted and received completely through the DJI system? Or does it all need to connect with the car, ESC, ELRS, etc? 2.same question as No.1, but for the ELRS module and receiver in car? Or can I still use the RadioLink R8FG in the car, add an ELRS receiver in car, that simply connects to the ELRS module that I rig to my remote through the DSC port? Thank you a lot brother! I’m definitely going to join the FB group and also purchase the parts needed via your affiliate links once I figure out these 2 damn answers. 🤣🤝🤝

[@ChaddRainsFPV]

Thanks for all the kind words scattered throughout your massive comment my dude 😂🤙 Right on so first: your RC8X won’t bind to an ELRS receiver without a custom cable and an ELRS module plugged into the RC8X. You don’t need ELRS to run DJI though; they are totally separate, so don’t worry about that. But you will have to “arm” the O3 air unit or it will output less than half the power (and so your video range will kinda suck). I am releasing a product in the next week or two (hopefully before my birthday on the 9th, that’s the goal) that will send the “arm” signal to the O3 air unit, without any receiver input needed. It’s automatic. No programming a flight controller. Just plug and play. Now, the O3 air unit will out-range a stock RC8X but not by a huge amount. You could be good and happy with the stock RC8X, so I’d recommend getting the video system up and going first and seeing how stuff is. Good luck bro 🤙

[@KYLE_FROM_THE_FUTURE]

You are the man! Thank you brother! I was missing that “gap” of understanding. Ok, I have seen your videos (and others) using a custom DSC cable wired (soldered) to the ELRS model (let’s say Radiomaster 2.4ghz ELRS module for this example) and strapped to the RC8X. Which I’ll eventually do. Would be cool to utilize the RC8x FPV split screen eventually 😂🫡 But for the sake of running an O3 VTX to the DJI goggles, and running the RC8x for RC telemetry… I should be able to have a good time as is. Basically? Then the added ELRS module would just be a “range bonus” for the RC telemetry (in the future, but not needed now, added money, and added setup time). Pretty sure I’m connecting the dots now. YES! I will absolutely buy the O3 arming unit whenever you have them available!! Should I just DM you on IG or something? My IG is @kylefromthefuture 🤝🤝 Really appreciate you helping me understand this point FINALLY. It’s been driving me nuts. Greatly appreciated

There are 900MHz ELRS PWM receivers and EMAX has a 2W 900MHz transmitter that you can slap onto the MT12. I’m wondering if the lower frequency would help range that low to the ground.

[@ChaddRainsFPV]

Love that EMAX is is making good ELRS modules now, I’m not sure you’d need it. 900mhz is awesome, but I’ve out ranged the best video system, with 100mw of 2.4ghz ELRS. It would be like gold plating a solid gold nugget 😂

[@hylaride]

@@ChaddRainsFPV Yeah, that’s fair. :-P It was more an academic curiosity, though I’ve considered getting into RC car FPV (I’ve been flying quads for awhile) and sneaking around abandoned buildings would be nice if I could still back up after losing video.

[@ireschannel]

Ask for your opinion bro, I just tested the RC car using Googles 2 connected to the Airunit and did some testing, I tried going from home to a food place and it was blocked by several buildings, the signal looked only 1mbps. My question is whether the Googles 2 connected to the Airunit doesn't have a very good signal. .Not the same as using DJI O3

[@ChaddRainsFPV]

There are a lot of things it could be. 1st, make sure you have a fan. 2nd, make sure your output power is maxed out. And lastly, if you’re using the goggles 2 (not the v2) you will always need to arm the air unit. You’ll need that board I’m releasing to do that, or you could search for that Arduino project (it’s kind of a pain tho) 🤙

[@EWCRC]

Great video and very inspirational. My FPV vehicle is an SCX10 III Early Bronco with a camera in the helmet of a Tamiya Wild Willy figure. Purchased the MT12 specifically to use the trainer port for my head tracker which works great. No longer do I need two radios while FPV'ing the truck. I then added the joy stick included with the MT12 and put it on a switch to also move the head. How did you wire the beeper to the receiver? I have a spare from a drone and would like to add it to my truck for the same reasons you listed. Thanks.

[@ChaddRainsFPV]

That’s awesome! So the beeper I use is a Hellgate Buzzer but there are a few similar brands. They have 5v and GND like normal buzzers, but they also have a signal wire, and that can go straight to the receiver. Anything above 1500us will activate it 🤙

Thank you, Armando! Just updated the description with the distance!

Feels like I got cat fished. You didn't even use the MT12.

[@ChaddRainsFPV]

?? I used the mt12 all the way around my neighborhood. Then proved the range in the biggest area I could find using the exact same protocol and refresh rate and used less than half the power the MT12 can output. How does this not prove the range?

[@erlandfpv]

How we can using o3 without fc and etc? Thanks

[@ChaddRainsFPV]

If you'd like, I can sell you one of the prototype boards I have? We haven't set a price just yet, but I'm guessing around $39.99. Let me know if that is something you want and I'll tell you how to get one!

[@loic363]

@@ChaddRainsFPV I'd like to know more about it.

[@ChaddRainsFPV]

@@loic363 Sounds good! i will post a link to a pre-order in the description either later today or tomorrow. The first 10-20 pre-orders will be protoype boards and come with long JST-SH cables, but no output for a fan; so you'll have to power the fan for your O3 off of your receiver or something. It's easy to use, just power the board from a separate lipo (I use a 3s or 4s usually) and it arms the O3 about 10 seconds after power up. Keep an eye out for that link! 🤙

bro what model of rc car that u used

[@ChaddRainsFPV]

That is a Losi Lasernut. I got a link in the description if you want to check it out 🤙

[@flat-earther]

how much did you pay for this radio

[@josephocarez2925]

I have an HSP RC now and I order radiolink rc6gs, still saving money for the goggles. if you have an extra that doesn't use please donate it to me lol..

[@aniketyelwande6106]

@ChaddRainsFPV bro please five genuine opinion, why not just stick a smartphone on your car and use facetime. It shall give you even better range.

[@ChaddRainsFPV]

The issue is that FaceTime has a delay of about 1-2 seconds. This is no problem if you’re just trying to drive around at 5mph or so. If you try to go faster you’ll eventually have too much delay and you’ll crash. Nobody would play video games online with a 1-2 second delay. I definitely wouldn’t play with an FPV car with a 1-2 second delay. The FPV systems may have limited range but they have just a few milliseconds of latency 🤙

[@daveopie1234]

Nice work. Based on your recommendation, I subbed to Jipper_RC. I may try to build a gimball for my FPV RC car. What's the Facebook group you mentioned? I looked and found a few but couldn't figure out which one you were talking about.

[@ChaddRainsFPV]

Right on! The Facebook group is FPV RC Cars but there is also RC FPV Gimbal Builders that I just found too. Super good peeps over there 🤙

[@rezaakhmadi6620]

My mastaaaaa.. Untill now using TBS and radiolink rc4gs from your recomendation video and still happy until now for the range.. i can play ftom my badroom 🫡🫡

[@ChaddRainsFPV]

Awesome, Reza! Yeah the crossfire system still works great and with a lot of different remotes too; so it’s nice that people can use it with whatever they already have 🤙
