Does the boosted range theory apply if analog goggles are used? e.g Eachine ev100’s?
Great video btw I like the fact that you are straight to the point on how it’s done and no hidden secrets 😂
Yup! Directional antennas on the goggles, tall omnidirectional antenna on the car, lots of power (I like the RushFPV Max Solo VTX) and be sure to add a fan! It’s basically the same for any goggle/system! 🤙
@@ChaddRainsFPV wow I’m lost for words… 🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾 so glad I haven’t gone out and brought a digital system…👌🏾 I’ve subscribed 🔥🔥🔥
@@ACB-R.C aye thank you! If you have enough power on Analog you can get real good range. But in all honesty digital is still going to be best. Even the older DJI system will do amazing behind houses and stuff (v1 goggles can be found pretty cheap).
But analog is still a lot cheaper and worth a shot if you already have some gear. I’ll be showing how to wire everything up real soon 🤙
@ChaddRainsFPV thank you I will have a look around for the v1 goggles. I added the fan to my setup and have tested this evening. Actually came out good. You gave me the kick I needed 🤣 I will be looking to get the rush fpv max solo vtx and see how I get on with that. I purchased the radiolink v3 transmitter already so I'm almost there 👌🏾
Update: 🤦🏾☹️ took the car out and everything seemed fine… fan was running nice on the flight controller, camera was mounted neatly and my antenna was sticking up out the front. I wanted the most height out of my antenna but it came at a cost as 5 minutes into my run it completely disappeared 😢 searched up and down the road and nothing 😂 didn’t even get to record anything either so I need a replacement but I will just get the rushfpv and the replacements all together… but thanks again for the push as I did get some great content that day even though it wasn’t FPV 💪🏾👌🏾
Absolutely love the straight to the point style of your videos. great job. No fluff, no 20 mins of soldiering and box opening. great job.
Hay .. you put everything direct forward without any complicating things .. yes you are the real Long Range Rc Car man .. true LRRC ! Thanks a lot
Great job with the RC FPV car content! Came across your channel searching for more information, was surprised there wasn't much info available. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!
Absolutely dude, thank you for the comment 🙏 I tried to make some good videos a few years ago about my rigs but there were still so many questions. Lmk if you get stuck on any crazy builds you get into I answer just about all my comments 🤙
Subscribed! Been looking for this type of channel for months
Not Enough fpv car people are sharing their knowledge like that ;)
Most people in the rc car hobby are not drone pilot so i can be intimidating to try to setup an fpv system for a vehicle from scratch!
Your videos are awesome, thank you for sharing like you do, it is really appreciated.
I am an rc car hobbyist since 1984 .. and drone hobbyist since 8 yrs .. chadd is a talent young hobbyist if not a in the professional level . Many thanks to him and you .
I'll be making some vids on that soon, just trying to find the time...
I approve this message! Thank you for your appreciated act of kindness! I was subscribed to you before I even started my FPV RC Car channel and enjoyed every video!
That’s awesome dude thank you commenting this! Hope you get Dominion back together soon and get that record! 🙌
Thanks, this video was pretty straightforward! It's nice and clear to the point 👉!
Bro thanks for this info this is a great condensed vid for someone trying to get into this
Great video with good tips. I haven't purchased the directional antennas yet for my Goggles but I probably should.
If you watch one rcfpv vid this year make it this one 👍👍great info to share with us bro. Its definitly been helpful on my builds. Big thanks for the shout out my dude!! Rcfpv fam for real 🤙
100% brother! Hopefully we see more people getting into this now and searching us up 🤙
Thank For being so clear and to the point you didn't waste an extra word.
I'm saving this video in my favorites and I will reference it in the future many times I'm sure, but.
You did not flood us with words to try and show us how cool and knowledgeable you are, thank you.
Dude this comment is awesome. I really do try extra hard to make sure I’m not wasting anybody’s time and still keep things clear. Thank you! 🙏
Great stuff dude!
Your videos are roasting🔥,….thanks for sharing AND LEADING THE WAY!
Thank you Man ! Fpv on RC Car it's not usual but I like a Lot and it's a Challenge Go further !
Very nice tips thankyou.
Great vid bro I been waiting for you to upload! Thanks for the shout also, you really helped me get into this stuff and always answered my questions no matter how much I was bugging you lol. True sign of a solid FPV bro. I wish it would become more popular at ground level but I guess I get it if it doesn't.. Either way there are indeed at least a few cool channels out there doing it.
I think it’s just taking off my dude. There’s people holding races now and I can’t wait to see where it goes from here. Thanks for saying whatsup bro 🙌
@@ChaddRainsFPV Man I hope it does just for the extra market support. More content to watch would also be pretty awesome. A lot of the stuff guys were doing on the ground with analog a few years ago was so awesome to me I don't get why it didn't take off more.
I'm starting to see what is holding a lot of people back is just the general "how to" of it all. I started off the same way scared to really waste all this money on the unknown.. but then sure enough it happened anyway and I tried way too many vtx's just to end up with a couple O3's in the end. I don't really have a following outside a few Tesla Coilers so I've just been trying to document results I get with various setups, but I guess pretty soon I can try to do some 'laymans tutorials' while it's still sort of fresh on my brain what all my initial questions were.
@@Magneticitist All the advancements in FPV lately have made the older systems cheaper and more accessible (easier to use). All while making the new (complicated) stuff freaking amazing.
Now, ground FPV is fairly and accessible so I don’t think it will be dying off this time.
2 days ago.... Wow. This is exactly what I've been looking for. There is a huge lack of information about the best way to do an FPV car. Thank you so much.
Awesome, man. I got so many questions over the past 2 years it’s nuts that I didn’t do this sooner. Glad it’s helping 🤙
@@ChaddRainsFPVhi bro, can you explain breifly how do you send the arm signal to the dji o3 air unit because i heard that dji o3 air unit do no gives full performance unit a arm commant from a flight controller is given by the flight controlle. thanks in advance!!!!!!!
Cool info and I did not know anyone was doing this...Subbed
Aye right on thank you! Yeah, there are even local races in parking lots if you look around. More cool stuff to come 🤙
I wanna get into fpv so it was really helpful thanks
This is very cool man! I was thinking about doing a digital fpv system on my 8s infraction (upgraded from 6s)
:) been doing fpv cars for couple years. i ran with 1.3ghz video. ^^ but now we go tons of cool smaller gadgets.
my fav trick is to use my crossfire lite module and hook it to the car (pistolgrip) transmitter, i then use some pwm adapters for my nano rx. its great.
5.8ghz are great place to start on these dessert buggies
Thanks Chadd, Hope you're doing well mate..Take care
I would DEFINITELY buy a ready to go kit! I fly but didn't see an fpv rc car until I saw a vid on yt with a guy running around town lol I would buy one in a sec man 👍🏼✌🏽
Any first first time I'm building an fpv car it's very new to me I hope you can explain it like a book for dummies
Hey, Thanks for the videos. I have an X-maxx I want to make FPV, I also want to get smaller car for sneaking. Very Cool!
Yoo my guy what a great video. Appreciate ur way educating specifics.
Are u selling the plug And play u we’re putting together??
Thanks man! Yes, I have the pnp unit that arms the O3 Air unit that I am selling now (pre-released versions atm, available through email).
I do want to start selling complete PNP modules for different systems (analog, Walksnail, DJI, Etc.) but that has been hard to invest in.
I will definitely be doing a really thorough how-to in the next month as well!
Hell yeah thanks for the reply my man. I was actually looking for a unit for a RC car but I’m literally a newbie any advice I’m really trying to just not go too far maybe a quarter mile away or even half a mile if possible
Bros voice is actually majestic
Aye I’m not even using my nice microphone! 😅hahah
The Rizz 😂
I immediately subscribed. And the explanation is very very good and easier to understand. Have you tried the AKK and Foxeer 5 watt? Then using rapidfire, rapidmix or fusion or like the new module of the speedybee? although im using fpv quad, im using geprc rad mini 1 watt for my micro 3 inch quad. For the Directional antenna on analog, what is "the best" directional antenna for the analog goggles?
And ELRS is the hype for 2.4ghz. But for me, its still confusing and tricky to set up. I hope it will be like from the tbs that its easier to bind.
Thank you for the sub! I have tried AKK VTXs way back in the day (years ago) but have not recently. RushFPV has made such good products I have just stuck with them (and like 95% TBS VTXs before that). Also have not tried Foxeer in a long time but will be getting the new 5w one when I can.
For best directional antenna, it’s easily the TrueRC X-Air2. Nearly 180 degree horizontal beam, plenty of vertical beam and high gain. It’s just a little big, but again, easily the best performance.
For ELRS, it gets easier and better with every update. I recommend ELRS a lot but for some people, they would be better just waiting until there’s a better configurator / it’s built into betsflight.
Hi!
Great video!
Congrats!
Could you recommend sth on the other end of the spectrum, i.e. fpv setup for indoor or short track applications (1/24 or 1/28 RC cars)?
Maybe sb has a good video on this?
Thx!
I will definitely make some make some how to’s for smaller scale stuff! I actually have a couple 1/24th scales I’m reviewing now!
There's a surge in fpv rc car rtr kits at the moment, but IMO it's more an entry level stuff and it's only one car. It would be nice to have fpv setup that would go with different cars :-)@@ChaddRainsFPV
@@justPFKI have some of my own products coming soon, promise 😎🤙
Nice video bruh! I would buy a rtr kit.
Love the content !! Have you finished your plug and play kit and if so how much are you asking ? I have a UDR - CAPRA - and a LASERNUT that I'm controlling with a RADIOLINK RCX8. Would be a dream to have a unit I can transfer to different builds.
I am so close to releasing it, I just have to test the final hardware revision!! The prototype boards I have now only work on 4s and NEED a PWM input. The final release will be 2s-6s and will arm the O3 automatically, not flip of a switch required 😎
I’ll do a YT post once I get it up for pre-order! 🙏
@@ChaddRainsFPV that all sounds brilliantly AMAZING 🙏🙏 can't wait !!
Yes I would like a pre-made kit! There’s definitely a market for it for people like me. I just want to plug and play… well, ride lol
Right on! For now you can totally email me for a custom pnp module! I will a product made that I can list on eBay or something soon 🤙
Great content, thanks man. I did not hear you say how much range your actually getting. What's normal range for you?
Thanks man! I have a few videos on the channel showing my range. Check out the one I did using the MT about 4 weeks ago 🤙
I was thinking about trying out rc car fpv but was wondering what car i should buy. I looked at your other videos and the cars you have are a litle expensive for me. Do you have any recommendations for cars under $150 that have space for a camera,vtx and antenas? ( Im going to run analog) Thanks i love your chamel and great video! Its ok if you dont have any suggestions i was just wondering if you do. All feed back helps!😊
For sure! There are some good WLToys models and Redcat models that other people have reviewed (I’m not aware of any specific model, though). You just want to get a 1/10th scale and try to get larger wheels (not drift). Hope this info helps!
Nice Video. Would it be possible to put a FPV Camera and transmitter in a micro crawler? i dont need a huge range i mainly want to drive in the backyard. Would a cheaper analog setup be better for a small crawler. I guess there is not much space for cooling
Absolutely! I’m coming out with a video on the best plug-n-play FPV modules here shortly! I’ll let you in on the results tho: a 200mw analog setup matches the range for most micro crawler remotes. So as long as you get a quality unit and keep it cool, you’ll be good 🤙
@chadd I picked up a DJI 03 unit off eBay today ($150) new :) would the crossfire rx be ok to pair both with ? I see u used TX lite though or go with something else ?
Crossfire and O3 Air Units are fine to use with each other but they are totally different systems.
The O3 Air unit is only compatible with DJI Goggles 2, Integra and V2 FPV Goggles.
Crossfire receivers are only compatible with crossfire TXs. Hopefully you got all the right stuff. Go ahead and shoot me an email. You can find it by going to my YT page and clicking about. Or you can message me on Instagram chadd.rainsfpv 🤙
Great video and very good explained! 👍🏻
Is ist possible tho to build in a 5W VTX and reduce the Power?🤔
Absolutely! Any quality VTX will have a wide range of adjustability. The ones I linked in the description can go as low as 25mw and can be set to 4 or 5 different outputs 🤙
Awesome video!
Is there anything you need to do for vibrations?
I feel like I’m going to get a headache with the video shaking around 🤣
Oh for sure! Big, soft, properly balanced wheels are a huge start. Stiff body and appropriate suspension is 2nd. And if you’re really trying to hoon off-road, go check out Magneticitist’s channel and his gimbal setup. He has some great content too 🤙
@@ChaddRainsFPV I think I’m definitely going for a on-road set up.
I got a lot of catching up to do on your videos 😛😛😛
Hey. I am looking at buying the radio link RC8X and would like some low distance FPV footage. I am doing crawlers only atm. So I will be well in hand for distance, but which FPV system should I get?
You can get away with analog for short distance stuff, and it’s nice that you can have a screen (instead of flipping up goggles, which would be nice on a crawler I’d imagine).
But I think the best value is a pair of v1 DJI goggles and a Caddx vista. I’m sure you can find them used for less than $300 all in 🤙
The whip (dipole) antenna. I’m getting 5 miles on 200 mw on the vtx but that’s also in the air vs on the ground. Whip antennas can for sure get you some range but I can’t speak on the antenna ground performance 🎉
Multipathing is the beast you fight on the ground. Noise-floor is (generally) the opponent in open air. Linear isn’t so bad in the air for this reason, especially on most digital systems 🤙
This is mostly a generalization^, but it is what most people will encounter with the RF in each scenario. Ground FPV is a whole different game.
What would you recommend to a novice for FPV for just general short range? Something along the lines of 2500-5000ft distance? Is there any easy to set up budget builds you could recommend? I want to FPV a Traxxas XMAXX for running across a few open acres of property, and a Arrma Vendetta for some light street racing around my neighborhood. I'm fairly clueless on setups and what I would need to buy to get everything done without making too many financial mistakes while learning what I need.
Going behind trees or houses is tough, and requires a lot of output power from the VTX and a good remote. Your goal of 5000ft is not a “novice distance”. Unless you’re in a totally open field and you’re standing on a hill.
That being said, you can get the range you’re looking for with the right gear. The Rush Max Solo (linked in description) and good antennas can get your video beyond the normal range of your Spektrum remote. Swap in a RadioLink RC6GS v3 radio and receiver for a bit more range, or get technical with the new radiomaster mt12 and have more rc range than you’ll need.
If you want a system built for you just let me know 🤙
Finally!
Hi Chadd, together with a colleague we got fascinated with the videos from cloudrc and thought of getting into RC cars with the aim of creating a stable fpv rc car controlled using a sim rig (steering wheel and pedals). We never actually touched rc cars and don't really know where to start. As far as I've researched, what we are looking for is a long range control and video system. We would like to use a screen instead of goggles. I think the main parts we need are a good vtx+antenna+receiver (for the video) and a good link+receiver+antenna (for the controls). Any way to help us out?
So there aren’t any systems (currently) that have range like CloudRC but low latency like DJI or Analog. DJI has the most range of any system, while keeping its low latency.
I’d say the max speed of a high latency system like cloudRC is around 15mph; even slower if the signal isn’t great or there are a few obstacles.
You can email me too. Do you know where to find my contact info?
@@ChaddRainsFPV Thanks so much for the info. Sadly no, I don't know where to contact you.
Great advices! I’m also trying to realize an analog fpv rc car. But I have a question:
1- in absence of a flight controller, I can power the vtx from a lipo (much vtx s support up to 6s lipo) and power up the camera from the vtx 5V bec, but in this way I wouldn’t get telemetry…
How have you done the fpv system? Have you got telemetry?
Also I have to power up the whole thing from a different lipo and not from the one who power up the car and the receiver…
Please reply to me, I am very curious
Thanks! Correct about telemetry, we typically don’t need the same level of telemetry/OSD on cars, as we do on drones.
The repercussions of a failsafe or running low on battery isn’t so bad on a car. You can usually stand up and get your rc link back, then you have to turn around. And if you run out of battery, your esc goes into low power mode and you’ll have to come home at like 5mph lol.
A few radios will have good telemetry though. I’ll be posting my link to the MT12 along with a bunch of videos showing how to use ELRS on cars. That will likely be the radio I recommend moving forward.
For analog, it really is best to power from a separate LiPo. RC car’s motors and ESCs have so much more noise than drones, it’s best to avoid all the interference and just go with a separate battery 🤙
@@ChaddRainsFPVthank you so much, that is all I wanted to know. Wish you the best! And never stop posting videos
Are your vehicles equipped with the crossfire receivers? If so is there a huge difference between it and the radiolink receiver?
Most do have crossfire or ELRS. They are typically not needed on Analog rigs that have 1000mw or less power. But all my new stuff runs DJI O3 VTXs and I need crossfire or ELRS 🤙
In the video at the end when you drive over the grass in fpv, was that footage from the dji goggles or a GoPro mounted? The video stability was insane. I have not seen an fpv video so stable.
So that’s not direct back to my goggles, but it is recorded on the DJI O3 VTX and already stabilized. So when I pull the SD card out, it looks like that. But you would need a gimbal to get stability over terrain like that (foreshadowing…. 🤔) 🤙
nice topic ! do you have a video on how to stabilize the fpv image ? I come from quadcopters and the fpv ground vehicles I tried shaked way too much for fpv.
Thanks! There is a guy I shouted out that does show gimbals and stuff on his rigs. I run big tires, tuned suspension and TPU camera mounts and don’t have much of a problem. But I also drive speed on some smooth surfaces, compared to a lot of others 🤙
This is something I actually wanted to talk about after changing my tires out. I tried some Kaiju tires on an ARRMA Big Rock cause I saw some vids of people doing it... I decided to not use them because they are not really good for FPV. Just bashing and off road ripping around. Aside from working the steering servo much harder they are just not as smooth riding. You need tires that are going to rotate smoothly and are well balanced. Typically those are going to be street racing tires but with some decent off road tires it can still be done.
If you hold your RC car and spin the tires, and it's wobbling.. that's going to give you wobbly video while moving at nearly any speed. A really good suspension is what's going to keep it from jumping around all over the place when going over anything but smooth road. What I like to do is "rotate" the tires and hexes until I have a perfectly smooth rotation on all of them. This is not easy and takes some time but it really paid off on my Big Rock. After changing the tires I had to slap myself because I forgot I had perfectly balanced the original tires and now I have to do it again when switching back to them. You can sort of go through a process of taking all the tires off, then adding one at a time as balanced as you can. You want it to rotate almost perfectly and if it isn't, try putting the tire back on the wheel hex in a different orientation. Trial and error every possible way the tire can go on the hex until you have the best fitment. If all 4 tires are spinning nicely then that takes care of that part where all that's left is to make sure your servo gimbals do not have wiggle and play in them. I found that most all my cheap servos would develop play in them over time but they would actually hold up after that if I just provide some kind of supports on them. They are all going to have weak points at the shaft so any design which can limit the possible left/right/up/down flexing of the rig itself is going to keep it steady.
@@Magneticitist This is real good info right here bro! ^ There is a lot that goes into getting smooth video, for sure.
Gday mate, Im totally over trying to set up my 03 unit and Goggles 2, So many discrepancies , I bought it for my Arrma Outcast over 4 months ago, I have all the cooling gear, mounts etc but Im stuffed if I can work out how to power it. Typical DJI...just dronies in mind, They suck. Im selling all my brand new gear and going with ELRS and a Big T-REX VTX and some Fatsharks. DJI can take a jump. Thanks for your help over the past months Chadd. Cheers mate.
Sorry to hear of the troubles brother! I am making a video on how to get the O3 At Unit to power up to full output. But also had a million projects to finish up the past month.
I’m guessing you could have to do the HAM file (or fcc) hack, and then you could run an Arduino to unlock full power (using an FC to unlock the full output is actually really hard if using a ground remote).
Best of luck either way you go, but if you reply and say you’ve had a change of heart I’ll grind out that Unlocking O3 video for you 🤙
@@ChaddRainsFPV Brother, If you could do that, It would change everything, from the pig tail leads needed and the works. I haven't found one dude on YT who actually goes into depth step by step. Even if you have the time to do it in a 2 or 3 part series. You're the only guy I listen too who makes any sense when it comes to this stuff mate... and I reckon I'm not alone here. A lot of crew would really benefit from such a series.
Huge investment, I actually bought 2x 03 Units so I can potentially have one full time on my Outcast and another that is portable for my TRX-4 and other randoms I have. Set up a Patreon brother and I'll join for sure.
I'd appreciate this to no end bro if you can find time. Much respect and good vibes your way Chadd, From me here in Australia.
@@Top-Jimmy Yo, It's been a little bit since I've had a second to sit down and work on stuff.

But I know you wanted to get going on this and I've been too busy to finish that video lately. Getting to it now tho
@@ChaddRainsFPV
@@ChaddRainsFPV Thanks so much Chadd. This means the world to me you making this upcoming video as I am primarily disabled and my support team introduced me to RC cars around a year ago. Before I fell ill, I was a professional drone pilot working here in Australia for real estate companies with occasional high paying one off Government agency work. My cognitive decline has left me with fine motor skill issues and less of an ability to retain new information etc.
I have since sold or given away my drones all except one large fixed wing custom which was purpose built for SAR and surveillance. I will be handing that down to my nephew in a few years or so once he is deemed competent to operate.
Back to the FPV cars... I would love nothing more than to be able to just relax and enjoy exploring our natural bushland habitat utilising my TRX4. I also brought another 03 unit as a portable to perhaps switch between various larger scale vehicles at a bit more speed with my friends and support team. I cant thank you enough for this mate, You are what we call here in Australia, A true living legend of a bloke and I really appreciate your help and also all of your content. You deserve a medal as we say here. I will be sure to keep an eye out for the video drop my friend.. No great hurry ok, Just when you find time brother.
Thanks again champ. PRC - Australia
just got into it and cant find good info. this is the first that explained a little. but more questions about like the band and frequency. i have a cheap set to try like the spotter v2 and "Radiolink 5.8G 48CH Wireless Image Transmission Receiver" some days its further and some days only about 60 feet. need to know if i can cut my antanna and solder some kind of amplifier on it like "GalaxyElecUS 5.8ghz Transmitter Power Amplifier 2500MW Long rang FPV Signal Enhancer"
Never solder in an amplifier when you have better options available. You can get a quality VTX like the new 2.5w from iFlight for a little over $50. A decent cam for like $25. And decent, tall antenna for ~$10.
The spotter v2 is good for testing the hobby out, but if you want good performance you have to get the good stuff. Hacks like amplifiers will only make you sad in the long run 🤙
@@ChaddRainsFPV alright cool. yah im just now getting to know it. recommendations for cam.?
@@vcmdpropulsion126 Foxeer Toothless is always a sold choice 👍
Have you ever looked into using a flying drone as a signal repeater for your car? I wonder if some of the drones with "follow-me" functionality could be used to follow your car instead- then you could run an additional rx/tx on the drone to make it behave as a relay! Could be really good for range, as long as the car:drone channel is separate from the drone:operator channel.
Oh yeah, I’ve been planning some stuff showing off my repeaters systems for a while. I will do some drone stuff too; but since digital systems aren’t really compatible with repeaters I haven’t dove into it all that much just yet 🤙
Is a 270 USD budget good for building an fpv rc car, or do I need more?
Are you converting a Losi Dbxl 2.0 to fpv?
I'm planning to do the same thing, i already have the car with a Xlx2 1100kv setup!
Really looking forward to the coming video's 🤩👍
Good eye brother haha! I have completed the project and am editing the video now. Little spoiler: It’s best to use a separate battery to power the FPV system as most FPV components are not rated to 8S, as I found out 😜🤙
Hey bro……RushFPV Max Solo VTX in the post 🔥🔥🔥 ordered new antennas all RHPC’s I got an extended MMCX to SMA connector I brought a set of 6 40mm fans the 12v ones and then I’ll run the RushFPV and the fan from a separate 3s lipo. Just waiting for it to all turn up.😬😬😬

Hey dude!
Would you consider making a video showing the build? Im curious how you even power the airunit!
Thanks!
I’ve got a few videos showing how I’ve done this but you kinda have to search. The best way is to actually use a separate battery, as the voltage spikes from RC cars can be a lot 🤙

I will make a full wiring video very soon. But you can ask any questions here and I’ll answer 🤙
I power from a separate battery and power the extra fan from that same battery. The camera gets power from the 5v line on the vtx
To get started do u recommend buying all the items u have links for on this video ?
I ordered a RushFPV Max Solo 5.8GHz Video Transmitter
I have a radio link RC6GS, just seeing what is the next item I need to get going
@@2259chevyThere are digital systems that aren’t compatible with the Analog video tx you bought. So make sure to get some good goggles or a good screen.
You’ll need a fan, antennas and you should be good to get started actually. The radio you have will get you about as much range as the Max Solo when running 2.5W.
So you don’t need much else. If you don’t have enough control range, you can upgrade to crossfire. But you’re pretty much set to get a running rig together if you get the other items 🤙
@chadd thanks for the help, I have the chance to get a crossfire RX is that good for long range ?? I see u use TX
@@2259chevy Well crossfire receivers are only compatible with crossfire transmitter modules. So you can't get an RX without the TX. If you end up needing crossfire because your rc range is way less than your video range, go for crossfire (my other vid on crossfire got most the info you need about ). 🤙
Hi, i want to ask you how to properly power the fan and the type of fan ideal for this. I am not a electronics nerd... Even if i try 😁
There are some easy options actually. Just use an esc fan that plugs into your receiver, but put it on the VTX. Sometimes I just use a 12v fan when powering the VTX from a 3S LiPo, and I wire the fan to plug into the same plug as the VTX. Hope this helps 🤙
@@ChaddRainsFPV Hell yeahh, that helps a lot dude. I am a complete noob in the world of rc so thanks. Sincerely i love building my first fpv, i remember watching the film "alone at home" as a kid and thinking how cool was that... Now i feel like that kid again 😁😎

Hey man, i was wondering, dont you sell custom made fpv rcs?
I have in the past, yup. I am not opposed to making more custom builds. You can find my email on my account page and send a message if you want to ask about one 🤙
I don't want to waste your time but I kinda need help. FPV is really confusing for me, there are too many options which is good but confusing to me. All I need in terms of range is 2 miles (3km) but the problem is I'm planning on using my car in a fairly busy city centre. If FPV is difficult to use between building, I could be going in the woods or just is a neighbourhood. Are there some parts you recommend me for this kind of environment? I already got the car. I really wish you could help cause Ive been trying to find a decent fav system for a year.
2 miles won’t happen in a city center or woods, unless you have a high latency videos system (almost too slow to drive at over 5-10mph. For reference, I’ve built the best video system I’ve seen anywhere, and I can barely get 1 mile
@@ChaddRainsFPV Oh thanks. What about on a plane? Is 2 miles possible? (Of course not in a city, maybe a neighborhood or in the woods!)
What's wrong with linear antennas? In quads we use omni antennas because most of the time they roll and flip and so does the antenna. RC cars on the other hand almost always move on yaw axis and antenna stays upright. Linear ones actually have higher gain ).
It’s the radiation pattern changing when the signal bounces off of surfaces (like the road). Gain isn’t super helpful if the signal has bounced 3 times and you’re picking it up. Cross-polarization problems 🤙
Is there a cheaper module that I can use with the rc7gf?
You can really only use modules that can accept a ppm input (that’s all that radio can do). If you make a custom cable you can do a crossfire micro v2 module for around $70-80
I spend lot on years to try getting longrange on fpv car. I now have 1.5w 1.3ghz vtx with singularity antenna. 2 xr patch antenna on clearview 1.3 ghz mounted on minicrossbow antenna trackers. And dragonlink 433mhz on the taranis for rc link. I'm still not able to do longrange. Maybe i should try to go back with 5.8ghz
My dude, I have been having the same problem with 1.3ghz. That’s why I haven’t made any videos on it. Truth is, 1.3ghz is a small band for most of us. If there are others using it in your area, you’ll have bad range. 5.8ghz is way more forgiving 🤙
I had good results using 1.3 or 1.2 trying different frequencies and Crossfire 915mhz.
You are not alone. It took this video for me to finally read about yet another person who had issues. I used to think it was because diversity receivers were the key, and impossible to find these days.. But you are using a clearview and still having issues, AND also using 433 instead of 915 like I am for control. Crossfire presents problems for me with 1.3g and notch filters are not going to do much when the output power of the Crossfire tx is reaching 500mW or higher. That aside, it seems like there is just no penetration with the 1.3g. Or, it equals about what you might expect from maybe 600mW on 5.8g analog. Another guy who does FPV said he had the same issues first messing with 1.3g and actually got better range with 5.8ghz.. so the joke is actually true for some people.
The more bench testing I did on my vtx's the more I got confused at what the problem with each one could be. I tried 3 of the ones available from Amazon or Ebay. Generic looking deals advertised as 800mW or sometimes 1.5W. I also tried a Partom unit from Aliexpress which is also rated 800mW. Then I have 2 RMRC 800mW transmitters. The RMRC's are the confusing bit because they seem consistent and reliable to me. I get the impression with the RMRC VTX and RX I could do pretty well with a good ground station that actually uses a pepperbox or something. With my singularity antennas or using a crosshair xtreme v2 the range is only decent with fair LOS. Otherwise I get patches of noise every foot I travel or something like that.
The other transmitters I tried were all basically garbage though. I got the impression they were basically burned out already or something. One or two of them I might have done myself, because there is no legitimate way to cool them by just putting a fan on them unless you take them apart and actually heatsink them better. They come basically with pieces of tape or something jammed in between the internal ground shield and the exterior sink, so they are basically just going to burn up within the first 30 minutes of use. Some may draw quite a bit at startup, then quickly drop to like 400mA current draw. Some may consistently pull around 600mA. They tend to vary to an extent where I get the impression they are just all old garbage nowadays and nobody cares because the 1.3ghz fpv market has all but been exhausted. The units will work fine for most people just as CCTV cam setups but for FPV they suck.
Another thing to consider is that at ground level some degree of constant noise without LOS may just be a reality.. and at that point the actual monitor you are using at the time can matter because it will have a certain threshold at which it decides to no longer give you a feed at all and just blank out. I can drive further when using my TV as a screen compared to some cheap CCTV monitor for example, which will eventually go to a blue screen when the noise gets too high.
So can I build a external antenna that extends from my house that boosts my signal from my transmitter
Yup, you can do a repeater. I’ve had a video in the works for a while on it. Will post soon 🤙
Hi, great video, if the vtx is 2.5W and required 7-30V, could i just put 2 6s lipos in series ?
Two 6s LiPos in series would be 12s. You could put two 6s LiPos in parallel tho, that would be 25.2v max 🤙
@@ChaddRainsFPV hi again, there's this vtx brand called Eachine 1.6W is it good enough for 500 meters no abstacle or 200meters with houses blocks, trees ?
@@ahmadfaris8044 there is no way to know for sure as every area is different. If you had really good antennas, then maybe. It would still depend on your area.

I'm building my first fpv on a budget, if done right maybe next year I'll get a dji vtx and a radiolink, also I'm not sure what type of runcam works with what vtx, but i believe the vtx I'm eyeing is a cheap 25$ American dollars and a 15$ foxeer razer runcam.
@@ahmadfaris8044 Get patch antennas for your goggles and a tall antenna for your vtx. I have links in the description. The camera is also linked in the description. If you need a cheaper one, grab any older runcam FPV camera, that isn't the wasp / dji compatible.
DJI equipment isn't compatible with any analog gear, really. So don't plan on getting a DJI VTX until you get DJI goggles
Are you using a separate battery for the VTX ?
I am when I do an analog vtx always or when I use a high cell count (6s or up) on cars with a digital vtx (like DJI). Analog is pretty much a must for separate battery 🤙
@@ChaddRainsFPV thank you
Do u do battery telemetry with elrs.
Only with the MT12 🤙 Link in the description of my newer vids
👋👋 Hello, I'm new to FPV and want to learn how to achieve long-range capability with my RC car. I currently don't have any FPV equipment. My goal is to drive the car around my neighborhood, or navigate through trees and trails while in the park. After watching your videos, I'm particularly interested in the Radio link controller as it seems to have far range. However, I'm a bit confused about how the Radio link control lo supports FPV is this support for digital or analog FPV? Also do am I required to connect my FPV system directly to the Radio link controller, or can I create a standalone FPV setup that I can use with multiple RC cars as my collection grows?
I'm desperately seeking advice on getting great driving range out of my RC car and building a high-quality FPV system that won't experience signal interruptions while driving around my neighborhood. Your guidance would be greatly appreciated; I'm really need help. Can you help me?😩😪
For sure! The RadioLink FPV function isn’t great, because the 5.8ghz receiver that RadioLink makes isn’t very good (and it is analog only).
The RadioLink radios do have great range for someone just starting out. They can use a crossfire module too, if you need more range down the road.
If you want to make it through the neighborhood, it’s best to go with a DJI Air Unit and DJI v1 or v2 goggles. The O3 Air unit is hard to use so only go that route if you have the technical ability, and you’ll also want to avoid the v1 goggles if you go that route. Let me know if you have other questions. Lots of videos on my channel that show some good detail 🤙
@@ChaddRainsFPV Thank you for your help; it's been valuable! I was initially hesitant about analog FPV due to the signal interruptions. I think after a long night of research I will opt for the DJI system with goggles.
Could you please advise on the best antennas for both the goggles and the RC car in this context? Is it possible to upgrade the antennas for the Radio link system? Lastly, I'm aware there are numerous radio link controllers available. What's the latest Radio link model, and which one do you recommend as the best choice for my intended application?
@@michael_n_karma9742 For sure man, I'm glad to hear! So I have links to all my favorite items in the description. The RC8X is my current favorite and my recommended antennas will depend on the Goggles and Air unit you chose to get. Please let me know which you are getting and I'll update my description with specific antennas.
So, here's an update: My RC car's motor gave out, but Traxxas is sending me a replacement. 👏🏽
Meanwhile, I met someone at a local park who builds drones. He generously wired a Foxeer camera and fan to a transmitter and flight controller, and even gave me a pair of FPV goggles all for free. I crafted a small foam board box to house the unit and battery. I was able to Mount this box on my smaller RC car I had at the house and it's been a fantastic experience, despite the analog quality. I have been limited to exploring FPV around the house due to the rainy weather. While I enjoy the FPV experience, I discovered that wearing goggles makes me dizzy. I'm now looking for an alternative option such as a screen.
Shout out to Dan (the guy from the park) who was kind enough to help me jump into the world of FPV!!
I still do plan to invest in a digital system in the future but hoping DJI or another company releases something new before I make such a significant purchase. Regardless I’ll keep you updated on my FPV progress. 🙌🏽
@@michael_n_karma9742 That's an awesome dude! For real, FPV guys really are some of the nicest nerds on the planet (I definitely qualify as a nerd too haha). The goggles can make you dizzy at first, but if you spend a bit of time in them every day it will ease up. DJI released the Goggles Integra about 5 months ago or so, so I doubt anything new will be coming from them for a bit (but who knows lol).
Awesome to hear you're rolling around in FPV now!
do you plan on creating more videos in depth on certain topics in this video?

I personally use a 4g camera for video transmitting, you can have almost unlimited range, as long there is cellular connection
Done it. Too much latency. I wanna go fast 🤙
Hi, I hope this comment will reach you. I think that you could use a small antenna tracker - but on your RC car! The main difference between a car and a drone is it reduced degrees of freedom. It is very likely that you will be always over the car with your head. So you could build a point to point video link using directional antennas. This approach could right smash through obstacles giving. NASA rovers do it that way as well
I haven't seen anyone in RC do this so you could be the first.
I have wanted to do this for years!! I have the antennas for it too. I’ll try to get something like this together before the weather runs out. Thank for the comment 🤙
Have you built thr kits yet
I’ve got the plug n play “DJI O3 Armers” to make DJI easy to use but no full kits just yet. Coming!!
What no one says is - how do you protect camera from breaking in case of a flip over. Do you protect it? Or you don't at all and simply try not to crash?

I make small rc cars operated by ps4 controllerts and bloothooth with 3d printed cases. Searching for the cheapest option to add fpv to these cars (no goggles; screen or phone)
Can you make a big kit for everything that you need including goggles
Yes! I will do this but there are 4 different systems available. I will start with analog 5.8ghz since it’s the least expensive. For the meantime I’ll link most of the stuff I use in the description 🤙
Advanced class ham here. You want vertical or horizontal polarization. You can be vertical and your friend can be horizontal. Cross polarization is a 20db loss and that's a lot. Beyond that a beam antenna with pan & scan tracking on your ground station. Then on the car. At these frequencies you really do need to be able to see the car's antenna.
The rule of thumb for transmitter power is that to get a noticeable difference you have to double the power. There is no effective difference between 2W and 2.5W. The lower the frequency the greater the range. If 900MHz is available try that.
Sorry, I should delete this but that's the way I remember the radio stuff. I'm doing a self-driving thing with a Raspberry pi, sensors, cameras and stuff. I'm not very far along with the sensor software. It uses a Linux laptop, wifi, a joystick and a wheel instead of RC stuff. (my first RC car was at 27MHz with a prop on an .049)
I appreciate the advice and from a fellow RF enthusiast and I respect the opinion. But please check out my demo video for clarification (it’s like 3 videos back). You do not need to see your antenna (line of sight). You do not need vertical or horizontal polarization. And the difference on paper and the difference in the real world are very apparent, in regards to the 25% increase in power (though to be fair it is a small difference compared to some other things).
My demo shows my car going through several ‘city blocks’, between houses, trees, cars, etc. I’m using 5.8ghz for video (digital protocol which does help a lot). Circular polarized antennas are key and using opposite polarization (left and right) definitely help mitigate stomping each other while driving (thanks for the exact dbm spec on opposing polarizations 🙏).
The antenna tracker would be sweet but for now I’m getting away with ‘stacked’ directional antennas ( I’m sure there is a proper name for the design but I’m getting a “squashed” beam if you will, like a biquad design but circular).
Hope this info / message didn’t come off wrong. I actually really appreciate the comment; I help a lot of people here with really simple questions a lot so it’s great to get some critical thinking in from time to time 🤙
@@ChaddRainsFPV At these frequencies smoke and the humidity will reduce signal strength. The light we see is just RF at a higher frequency then what we're using. Your radio can see thru things better then you because the frequency is lower and sometimes the signal can be seen like a reflection in a mirror. That's called multi-path. That's what gives you hot spots. "can you hear me now"
If I understand circular polarization it is first horizontal then vertical or the reverse for right and left. It's for satellites, there's something about polarization getting screwed up passing thru the atmosphere, magnetosphere or something. I seem to remember Yagi antennas that are a series of crossed elements for working satellites. They look cool but I never built one.
Power is ERP or effective radiated power. It's what comes out of the antenna. A Yagi can really up your erp without being too directional.
A stacked antenna is one antenna on top of another. Each antenna is less effective then the last but it's as good as an omni can get. Most of your signal is still going the wrong way but for receiving bigger is better. It should be a better quality antenna overall so there's that.
To max out a video receiving rig you'll need a directional antenna mounted directly to the receiver, to avoid feed line and cash loses. If it's on the goggles and the operator looks down, well it will all go to waste. The goggles need cameras so you can pip the real world. And stereoscopic vision and...
I'll check out your videos. I need better hardware and you're looking for better stuff.

Hi, I am just a boomer reading all these comments, lol. Omnidirectional this, max solo that! I am already balding, but this is WAY beyond my degrees. All I am looking to do is to buy an RC Truck, preferably military (retired Marine), and put a camera on it so I can inspect under my home. I need to have the camera move up and down, and left to right, so I can see what's going on. I would like to have it so that I can view (live) what I am looking at. I have an old iPhone 7 plus phone. And if I want to upload to my PC I can, if possible. Is audio important? Unless there is a evil spirit flying around down there, probably not, but let's throw that in too! I am on Amazon now, but they don't have ready to run anything that has a pan and tilt camera on it. So whatever help you can provide would be awesome!
There will be a good 12 hours of work putting one of these together. Would that be worth it just to peek under your house? I would assume you could pay somebody an hour of labor to get down there with a camera and FaceTime you while they crawled around, so you can tell them where to go. Then they can bring the camera back and you can view it whenever.
If you’re serious about building one of these and want help, let me know 🤙
Just spoke to DJI. And as of writing this, the Goggles 3 and O3 Air unit are not yet compatible. Here's what the Rep said:
"the DJI Goggles 3 are not compatible for DJI O3 Air Unit "for now" in our system which means maybe they will be compatible...sorry, there is no specific time. But I've report your request to the engineers just now, please pay close attention to our official website and patiently wait for the latest released news.
And upon checking, the DJI O3 Air Unit is compatible with Goggles Integra, Goggles 2 and Goggles V2"
So for now to use the air unit you have to use the older models sadly.
Mr. Chad Do you keep your 03 on low power mode when running? How do u overcome low power mode on RC cars without connecting the 03air to a flight controller.? I've made some research and the air unit needs to be "armed" for it to enter the highest output for range? How do I exit low power mode for my RC. Something about arduino download files? Forcing 03 to go into higher power levels?
I’m making a video on it now. So many people asked I had to do it. I should release it by the end of the week.
It requires an Arduino, which should be less expensive, less work and can be activated by any radio that has a spare channel / switch.

Depends. I’ve gotten a mile out. I’ve got videos on my channel showing 1km. This is all low latency too, so 40-50mph is fine. If you’re using 4g you can go miles but top speed is like 15-20 🤙
