Good stuff right there! I used to fly FPV drones and I've thought about doing this for my cars more than once. I'd probably just get a cheap 5 inch LCD panel to mount on my controller or nearby on a tripod. I'd want to record the video more than actually use it while driving. They make the panels with the receiver and recorder built in. Some even have a bay for a receiver module and it just plugs right in like it would into a set of goggles and it records to an SD card the same way also. The panel is a cheaper option than goggles also. Those HDOs you have weren't cheap!
Thanks for watching! It’s unfortunate that the goggles are the most expensive part. You could also buy an Insta360 Go if you just want good on board footage and don’t care about viewing it real time
I'm looking into doing it for a crawler, and you can get a reciever that plugs into your phone and you use an app to use it, then get a controller mounted phone holder, and then do it that way
I believe that your camera placement might be deteriorating the signal, this tiny cameras have a hard time with shadows and so, it's always exposing for the dark interior instead of what you need to see in order to drive
Thanks for the idea! I liked the placement so it looks like you are actually driving, but you can definitely mount it more forward to get the camera in a better angle for driving
Cool video. Thanks. Anyone have a really good recommendation for decent FPV goggles that won’t require a second or third mortgage!?! Please share ASAP.
What’s the range for this system and is it waterproof? I’m very new to this. I want to purchase a traxxas summit and put this FPV system on it. Great video btw
This system definitely isn't waterproof. range is a few hundred feet. you can look for more expensive units that may have further range (stronger mw VTX)
Just subbed, thanks for the video. I am wanting to run something like this on my SCX10iii. However, I do not (right now) want to run FPV, just record from the drivers perspective. Will this system work for that?
hey Scott! Just saw your email and this comment. thanks for reaching out! From what you are saying it sounds like this type of FPV set up might not be the best option for you right now. what it sounds like you want is just to record some footage from inside the car to use in videos and edit with later on. Check you this camera amzn.to/3avXSKR for the price (AND SIZE) this might be exactly what you need. I used it a lot in my Mojave video (th-cam.com/video/j6IRCV7S7Cc/w-d-xo.html) and my 124018 video (th-cam.com/video/aeCE6jTdthE/w-d-xo.html). check them out for some example footage. hope this helps!
@@413RC I've looked at that camera. Unfortunately it won't work for me. To get where I want to mount it requires removing half a dozen or so tiny screws to install, turn on re assemble. Then disassemble to turn off and remove. I'm hoping to mount the camera and have the video recorded on a remote SD card or viewer. Kinda hard to explain may have to make a video highlighting it. Thsnks for commenting back.
The cheaper box style googles should link up to the cheaper VTX without an issue. just make sure you get some 1S lipos that have the same connector or if you know how to solder just solder some to match them up. or you could run it through the power supply of the car
If you have a decent size yard, this is great fun for low $$$. Where it gets more complicated and expensive is if you want to do this long range. Have you done anything to get more range? Thanks.
Completely agree! I have not done anything long range and haven't really run this set up since I made the video just because its not super practical. You could always invest in a DJI digital unit but you’re looking at $600+
I have u will need to get a vtx thats meant for drones and u need to put a little fan to keep it cool and the last thing is u need an fpv camera to connect to the vtx oh and some long range antenas
I got a mini z awd and you think I could get a fpv box like that and connect the two fpv box wires to a JST ZH 1.5mm connector and just plug that into the car? The car has one of those connectors available for LEDs
It DEFINITELY got hot really fast. I did not add any heat sinks or fans but it certainly needs it. I did not test longevity unfortunately but it’s something I could revisit
Hello, love your video tutorial, + new sub. Also you didn’t put a link for the battery charger usb. Can u maybe put the amazon link for a usb charger that charges my battery for the fpv camera, if you can. Thanks!
@@413RC that's what I was hoping to hear. Considering buying a setup like this and building a in door track out of wood. Do you think the signals would be potent enough to prevent major break up? (Track wouldn't be massive but big enough to get some good speed)
@@SweetChillieBeat yes definitely! the thing that really interferes with signal with something like this is objects in the way. houses, trees etc. as long as you have a line of sight to the car you should be perfectly fine for a back yard size bash. notice how i lost signal kinda on the opposite side of my house. you could also buy a camera/ VTX with a stronger signal (200+ mw)
I’m sure there are options. The in car footage you saw was from my Fatshark goggles. You could look for a fpv camera that has a built in SD recorder. Or if you just want a small camera POV for videos and don’t care about driving Fpv you could get the Insta360 go like I used in the beginning of this video th-cam.com/video/j6IRCV7S7Cc/w-d-xo.html

depending on the type of goggles you buy you won't need the TBS module. I listed some cheap box goggles that will automatically pair with the little VTX camera on the car

Found the camera and battery what about the charger xt30 or esc ???
Nice video!
Thanks for watching!
Can I power the VTX, and camera by an extra port on the receiver or will the ESC Bec burn it up?
That might actually work. I think most ESC ports are only 5V. I would check
Did it work?
The problem with most rc cars is they have brushed motors which creates heaps of electronic noise and static in the goggles.
Good point!
Are brushless better for fpv?
@@amagnier yes they have much less radio frequency noise.
Most cars have brushless motors, only the cheap ones have brushed.
Like a supercharger though
There is any way that i can display the video on my phone instead the goggles??
Thanks
Thanks for sharing! You would like to see my homemade 49cc RC car!
Beast!
How to you plug it into an esc, I've been looking for so long?
We’re do I buy the adapter for the camera and battery
I got a mini z awd and you think I could get a fpv box like that and connect the two fpv box wires to a JST ZH 1.5mm connector and just plug that into the car? The car has one of those connectors available for LEDs
yes it should work, led plug will only supply 5v
can you use something other then goggles and can you recharge the batteries? i have a battery charger but idk if it would work
The batteries are rechargeable. You could also get an analog display if you don’t want to wear goggles.

@@413RCthank you
Is the camera compatabel with the eachine vr009
Any better fpv transmitter for cheap? Its either go cheap for now then get the dji set up in time or nothing at all.
this is more for the novelty factor or racing your rc car in the FPV. I haven't really looked into more long range setups
You probably wont respond to this but do you need a adapter for the batteries to connect to the cam or no.?
If you can find a VTX that has the same plug as a 1S battery you won’t need a connector
This must get hot really fast does it have a heatsink ? If not how long could you ride w this camera before it overheats?
It DEFINITELY got hot really fast. I did not add any heat sinks or fans but it certainly needs it. I did not test longevity unfortunately but it’s something I could revisit

around the yard. if you want farther video range you need to up your VTX output
