These cars use standard, inexpensive CCD cameras coupled with a 25mw 5.8 GHz NTSC/PAL video transmitter, a technology commonly used in FPV drones. My friend bought these FPV cars, and since I own FPV drones, I can confirm that all my video receivers (the goggles) - a budget-friendly Eachine model and an older Fatshark one - are compatible with the cars. The great news is that the FPV drone world is strongly shifting towards digital video technology. As a result, it's becoming easier to find high-quality, older analog goggles in the second-hand market at very attractive prices. Oh, and it's worth mentioning that these video transmitters and receivers are capable of covering surprisingly long distances. The range dramatically increases when there's a direct line of sight. Therefore, my best advice is to use them in large open areas where you have a high vantage point, such as a balcony overlooking a big garden or something similar.

The best thing about FPV, and especially micro FPV is that wonderment of being small and the exploration at that size. It's a whole new experience, and something many of us have dreamed about since childhood. Once you move into micro FPV drones (such as a Tiny Whoop), you've got so much more freedom of movement and exploration that your experience is leveled up exponentially. I highly recommend - its so much fun and extremely addicting.

It used to be, not that long ago, that if you wanted a car this size, with proportional control, it would have to be IR controlled. In general, they worked, but I hated the line of site limitation. Also, for general R/C, I am happy that we progressed beyond the MHz bands and crystals, and have reliable digitally controlled vehicles. I am also happy about streaming FPV cameras. A bundled headset, that doesn't need a phone? That's a pretty big feature. It's smaller than a BitCharg, but not quite as small as a ChoroQ. (from what I can tell)
