It's 2025 guys... Self driving race cars!🙂 You've built and raced the car... Now build a driver to race the car. I've done it with a T-mini lidar and a Raspberry Pi 4 for about $150. I'm just an old truck driver with no education and I think I can race with the collage boys and their racing roombas. 🙂 I'm currently testing a Raspberry Pi Zero and 6 Vl53L1X distance sensors that are small enough to hide in the body and look out through small holes, about $70. If it works I can mount the whole thing in the shell needing only to plugin the esc and servo. I've seen a lot of potential and I haven't even started to use the accelerometer. (You know I can just drive in a circle and read the Gs a set of tires can handle on a given surface.) The Terrace Board I use for guard rails only costs $30 for 40' on Amazon. It's 5" tall so the lidar can be the highest part of the car and still see it. I use one 40' strip in the family room and race on a 9' wide linoleum oval. Ah, if I could only find a 1/18 scale race car and some tires to go with my 1/8 mile indoor oval/B track.🙂 There must be some collage boys racing near you that know very little about RC racing but lots about robotics.
My lad had the same colour Crossbow off Santa........less than 10 minutes and the same thing happened to his (lost drive to the rear) Stripped and found the pin through one of the dog bones had sheared off diff end Easy fix as I'd pre-ordered some along with all suspension arms What did you find with yours??
@PopalongRC must be something to do with the colder temperature and cheap steel, my Apache did the exact same thing yesterday while razing about in the snow th-cam.com/users/shortsPVKm1Ot4Efs?si=YLR7lc5srffLZpZB The Crossbow is doing alright though, except my lad thinks he's Kelvin Toolkit and broke a rear shock lower eyelet mount 'sending it to the moon' 🙄 haha
There's one of those on top of a branch of Topps Tiles. This is the trouble. You know where you are when you've got a set of wheels on the ground. 😂
"can I have my helicopter back , please sir.?" 😂 Great video guys 👍
Better check your zippers lads , too 🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha
Don’t think I would trust Mark quite yet with my spitfires 🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha
Somebody went shopping in MENKIND 😅
Hahaha
Going well till the helicopter turned up.😂
I love obfuscated fences that are needlessly there. Ah well.The chopper looked crap anyway.✌️
Hilarious 😂😂, had to watch it twice 🤣🤣
Haha, been there. My sin lost his rc plane he got for Christmas on Christmas day. .

I think you need to get some flying boats! 😉
Arrgghh yes the flying boats
Called it as soon as I saw the location and the heli 🙈
Love it😂😂😂😂
Morning Gents….👍
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤣🤣

What did you find with yours??

🙈🙈🙈
😂😂😂😂😂
Lol😅
Please no boats or flying things.
😅
Ummmm, ok then.
Worst video ever! 😂😂😂
