World's First FPV RC Car with these options: (After 20 hours of research I did not find anyone with these settings)
Radiolink RC car remote controller
Speedybee F405 v3 flight controller
GPS unit
B.A.G motion sensor system
Speedometer
Compass
A.B.S system
Gyro stability support system
Sound recording
Losi Lasernut U4
DJI FPV goggles v2
True RC matchsticks/stubby
ICrystal
WTFFPV
I would appreciate if you can show us how each components are wired together. Maybe a simple drawing?
cool! lol Not sure about the worlds first, as it's pretty ez to put an analog camera on an rc car, but pretty cool innovations. I've also put my drone on my rc car before to range check it. lol
Yea. The digital version was a bit hard to program. You had to update the FC, goggles, the air unit. Root it, add extensions, then program the cli. But worth it to get the OSD working.
🧐🤔😂🤦🏾
I wish I had the knowledge and patience to follow everything you're saying lol. You seem very smart and I'm very impressed by your build.
Haha I'm not sure about the smart part. But thank-you!
Such a good video, i was a little lost on how to start out but im hoping to do this with the HDzero system!
Thanks bud! You will figure it out eventually. I had to figure out most of the things here, and it wasn't easy . But it will work out.
Really awesome tutorial brother! So much info in one video 👏👏🤙
Thanks bud! Ur the master that started this hahaha
Hey guy's, so you think digital unit is better then analog for a fpv rccar.
@@chadcarpenter9742 If you do it right, yup. I will be testing the best analog rig I can put together here shortly. It has over twice the output power as the DJI systems we use. I expect half the range. This is mostly due to digital’s ability to reject multipathing / bad video signals. Analog can be good in the right environment with the right setup, but rarely better than DJI’s digital system 🤙
@@ChaddRainsFPV super excited to see your new build
Amazing !! 👏
Wow. Nice bro.
Thanks!
Nice job. I did something similar a year ago with a 3d printed RC car (the Tarmo4), and adding DJI FPV to it. SO much fun! Does your gimble prevent bouncing in the FPV video? That makes mine tough to drive, but it is still fun. I really liked your head tracker, and functional mirrors. Buzzers on drones are used to find it if it crashes in a field, so I was skeptical when you said it was an anti-theft device, but then I saw your other video! LOL.
FPV cars are sooo fun. The Gimble doesnt seem to help too much for the video, but drivable for sure. I am installing the proline duo shock system soon to see if there will be a difference.
Awesome build and very well made video! FPV car racing is serious fun. Keep going!
Great job! Does having a FC allow you to arm the DJI 03 to get max FCC range? Everything I’ve watched says unless it’s armed, it’s always at 25mW
Yup. With the hack I get 1200w
First I am a stroke survivor, left side impaired, was a former auto mechanic/smog tech
Any clue how to connect components together? Other than that, what you did is mental 👌🏽
Thanks for sharing, I'm actually ordering this RC in a couple days and will the rest in the following weeks, is there anything you'd do differently, if you could start all over / again?
I would prob go for the DJI air 03 for better penatration of signal. Better for the city
Planning on doing this to my Xmaxx but adding an ELRC unit allowing me to roam my whole neighborhood from the comfort of my home. Very complicated but definitely possible. But I do have to ask, for the air unit fans where do you connect the JST connector and what If I have 2? I am also looking on the website for the speedy bee and there seems to be no connector for the balance cable, is it just the esc port?
I was thinking of doing crossfire air unit 03 with my x maxx too. But alot of work. Check out Chadraines FPV. He ELRC his rc car
Amazing work! I heard that Dji O3 air unit need a flight controller armed to get the full power mode out of it. How can i bypass that mode without using any flight controller. Thanks😊
Haha I had a flight controller plus the normal receiver on it. Only way to get that range.
@@thelawfamilyproduction329 i thought you can manually flip standby mode to full mode from the goggles without the FC?
@@popoymolah yup you are right. The FC is more for GPS and speed/compass use.
Cool car. It's always interesting to see other solutions to various problems. Did you consider running the car straight from the flight controller? This way you could dramatically reduce the amount of wiring and have flight modes, stabilization, full osd features and statistics when you disarm.
I thought about doing it on my NX8. But a car remote is such a smooth diving experience compared with a flight controller. Plus the ABS and gyro helps.
@@thelawfamilyproduction329 I use a stick controller because that is what I'm used to. Theoretically it could still be done on a trigger controller. You just have to set your neutral trim to match the FC. My setup uses the FC to run the car. Feels similar to flying a quadcopter with arm, disarm, osd, stats, modes etc. Heading hold in iNav works just like ABS.
I've got a little 1:16 I gave the fully articulating camera w/flashlight, it has 1.3ghz AV and 5.8ghz relay for my LCD screen. Everything about the car was extremely easy to setup, but the hard part is still the video quality and distance. 5.8 was great for me at high power until I got that extra foot outside my limit, which was maybe 50 feet tops through obstructions. 1.3ghz was not much better, but did penetrate well.. however the distance only improved another 50-100 feet tops for me. It blows my mind how buying a DJI and goggle system is basically giving orders of magnitude better reception. Like, it's got to be something around 100X better than any 1.3ghz system but I've yet to see any real explanation as to how it's possible.
Yea video and distance for FPV RC Car is the hardest thing to do. DJI have some sort of magic that makes everything work. Not sure if it's the channels, hardware, etc. But the dual 5.8 works really well. The upgraded antenna from TrueRC helped with the range when I tested them. Check out Chadd RainsFPV for the 03 air unit instead. I think it has better range penetration than my set up.
@@thelawfamilyproduction329 Yea that 03 is probably going to be the next thing I try. I suppose it's also possible since I've only tried about 5 different transceivers that none of them were any good. I know some other guys using different similar air units that are cheaper but I'm just going to go straight to the DJI without possible steps in between lol. Part of me has the creeping feeling it's not so simple and involves various other factors (such as location) but I guess I'll see!
@Magneticitist yea just go DJI. They make really good systems. Very expensive but worth it in the long run
@@thelawfamilyproduction329 How is the sound quality of that air unit you're using? Only solution I really found not having a built in camera mic was to use a little electret and extra amp board for it. It works but the sound is so crappy I only just mainly hear the motor. I can hear the steering servo move and stuff like that etc but if someone were standing in the room talking it just wouldn't come through. This has been the case with basically any audio setup I've tried.
@@Magneticitist Agreed. The air unit only picks up the motor, servo, and some minor environmental sound. I used a super silent fan to reduce the fan noise to capture the most outside sound. Check out this video and check out the sound. kzhead.info/sun/gdChadB6n4JmZHA/bejne.html
Fantastic info and a beautiful build. Thank you
how do you set the GPS in order to make a home point direction and a flight time? iam using speedybee F405 too, i can get the satelites but i cannot get the home point direction.. i think that it must require an "arm command" for get the home point directions, is it true?
Yea I haven't figured that part out yet. But some dude said he can gps the car back to home point.
It will be nice that car can be my recovery tool/toy for my condition mentally/ physically
I want to build a fpv car for work and need the camera to remotely move the camera would you have any info on how to do this or where to look for the info
It is in the video guide. It shows you how to control the camera with the dji googles and it moves almost 360 degrees
hello, i wonder. is it possible to add a speaker to the RC car and the user will have a microphone connected to the speaker? im making this project for a huge event
Haven't tried it myself, but some people have connected a communication system with an analog system. Or you can just put a two way speaker in it.
@@thelawfamilyproduction329 thank you!
I did try to use a few Wi-Fi remote cars, signal pretty weak that I can drive those in my yards front & back, tried to use GoPro mini11, same thing lost signal as I close my door when I was in side my house.
Yes I could not drive those cars just simple in my yard
@sepo rann yea... those are very weak. 600w will be a good start. Maybe something like this. C$ 29.88 14%OFF | 5.8G 48CH 4.3 Inch FPV Monitor 480x272 Build-in Battery Video Screen with 5.8G 600mw Transmitter TS5823 Pro+CMOS 1000TVL Camera a.aliexpress.com/_mPL2Oja
@@thelawfamilyproduction329 just found a decent 5G.Wi-Fi ?FPV-remote car by Owowzon. I will use its FPV- components to mount on my Bronco. Not know how good its long term quality , yet just carrying camera around both fron/ back yard , while monitor screen inside my house, it’s signal range seems to be strong. I will try to find FPV systems in later time if this one burns out. Surely I feel like I know a bit more about 5.8g signal/components now . Thanks so much for your times & kindness
I wonder if you can help with a decent ( combination of assemblies that will creat a camera using my smart phone, Samsung as screen monitoring while driving car with its remote ( Trx4 2 speed crawler 2021Bronco) Need a lot help being a stroke survivor, left side impaired .so I may need items, model & parts number. Thanks so much for your times in advance
Check out this video! kzhead.info/sun/ma17e6epbqOrf5E/bejne.html The only issue with this system is that the camera power is only 200w. But you can modify it with an FPV kit on Ali Express to 600w. Or just get a simple FPV kit with a camera/monitor combo. Much easier set up.
Can you make the fc control the servos so you can do stuff like return to home automatically?
Not with this set up. I know some dude was able to do it if programmed with a regular air receiver. But with a car remote w/ gyro and a.b.s it is a different set up
Great build! Would you be open to building one for someone? Obviously I would pay you for the parts and your time.
It is a very expensive system. Just the parts is around $2000
@@thelawfamilyproduction329 I figured it would be about that for parts. What would you charge for the complete build?
For Dummies eh? - You should maybe change the title '' For Rocket Scientists '' Great setup though mate.
Hahaha that made me laugh. Thanks bud!
@@thelawfamilyproduction329 👍🤓👍
What are the fans connected to power and control wise?
They are modified computer silent fans. noctua nf-a4x10. For the air unit audio.
You are amazing I wonder if I can ask you to help me by giving a decent camera system that not so complicate system as yours
If you want something that is very easy to set up, but want a camera system. Check out the Radiolink rc8x. They even sell the camera and receiver system from the same company. Once installed then you can have the camera system directly on the remote screen. Should be an easy install.
@@thelawfamilyproduction329 Can that remote work with TrX4 2 speed-transmission ,2021 bronco?
@sepo rann that I do not know. You can e-mail Radiolink and they are very responsive.
@@thelawfamilyproduction329 has completed bundle, but now not available, wonder why? A lot bad reviews about products, not one mention about FPV system yet. It is expensive item, wonder about return policy once box open. Do not mind to pay if I can use around my yards
I wait a bit about their response
awesome, how much does it cost?
My guy just bought dji stuff +radiolink.. and expect a peon like me to build my own fpv
Hahaha. Well, you got a video guide here. Much easier now.
@@thelawfamilyproduction329 video guide don't make money grows on trees
What controller are you using?
The Radiolink RC6GS V3 one as per video
Hi mate could you make rc car like yours please I waiting for your answer please
So expensive 😭 I would like to make same machine for the cheapest price as possible how much would it cost?
Why use the esc from speedybee? Can't you just power the FC with 5v
You can. But you won't get any telemetries such as direction, speed etc. Thought it was important to feel like driving a real car.
@@thelawfamilyproduction329 your speed and things come from the gps that is on the flight controller not the esc. Did you turn the motor protocol off on the motors tab in betaflight at least?
@gotdrift8 I could have plugged the battery with a capacitor with a switchboard to control the electric current, but I found it easier to just stack the unit and clean. There is no need to turn motor control off as the car is controlled via the Radiolink controller with abs and traction control.
@@thelawfamilyproduction329 well its working so cheers to that. But its really unnecessary to have the esc there.
@gotdrift8 true. But it was $40 vs. $15 chip with a capacitor. But this way, I have a full stack to use if I want to put it into another project.
I want that so bad formy car but i know it costs way to much
This is a parts list
i wanna do this so bad
Don’t let a dummy teach you or you will take forever to learn how.
Hello how can i contact you? I need your help to build this kind of car
I do these videos as a hobby, but feel free to ask any questions on these comments. In the near future, I will be working on another build video for a smaller RC car but a much simpler way to build it.
@@thelawfamilyproduction329 could you tell me any of Your social so i can contact you?
@@thelawfamilyproduction329 can i get your contact on social media or somewhere?
@@thelawfamilyproduction329 Can i contact You somehow on social media?
@@thelawfamilyproduction329 i want to build very similar, could You be me advisor in what i have to buy and how to make it? What line i use to give You questions easier?
Certainly not the first!
Nice set up can you make one for me…???? I’d buy all material car camera . I’d like the camera to turn 360. Please contact me.
I might consider selling this local. And build a new system on the X maxx. The Camera can be programed to turn more, but it might damage it if it goes over 180 degree angle The total cost will be closer to $2000 Canadian.
