FPV RC Car how to question ?

[AdienMakram]

I’m trying to figure out how I can make an rc car to an fpv car and how I can increase the range. I  would  like to https://19216811.cam/use it around the block and may be in a forest preserve. Also does anyone have a suggestion for a good rc vehicle for this? I have a Traxxas stampede and traxxas TRX4 but both seem v ery top heavy and I don’t want to have to chase th https://1921681001.id/ e thing down to flip it over. I can’t find guides or anything on this.

You wont get more than 30m range (line of sight) on fpv video and the quality will be quite bad to the point it might not be what your after. Works for drones as they use 4-5ghz and being airborne there's less to interfere with the signal.

you could power up a vtx and use a screen or googles to receive the signal but like red said being that low and things in the way even with a flat panel antenna the signal would be terrible the cheapest one is to buy a small fpv drone and strap it on top what i did last year out in the open was fine for signal just watch the heat on the vtx as they get very hot without airflow like when flying 👍

Do you mean something like this?

 

 

If you check the channel there's a good few more fpv car videos with the kit used in the description.

My advice would be to use a small fpv screen fitted to TX, and maybe a dumborc radio as it has longer range even better use stick radio lick flysky FSi6X, add a camera and vtx to a car, more likely the stampede see how you get on but you may be dissapointed

Check the rcgroups.com FPV Talk forum, quite a few big old threads on there for fpv trucks.

Here's one of mine, Range across an open field over 200m, through woodland range in much reduced by trees but I have done about 50m through dense woodland.

Welp eating my words, that looks like a neat bit of kit!

All depends on power output as most stuff legal for UK is very poor.

As an rc plane flyer, i really dont know many that keep to the puny limit, a lot of the guys i fly with do 10-20k out with planes and you need a bit of power for that, but i dont fly fpv so just let my friends get on with that stuff
