How well do you think 1.3 gh would work in a cave?
That’s tough.. it depends on how narrow. If it was a big cave it would beat 5.8ghz but if it was really narrow I think you’d have an issue with the antenna being too close to a ‘reflective’ surface
@@ChaddRainsFPV what would you suggest? I’ve been trying to build an rc 4x4 with a camera and liar lidar but I lose signal very quickly.
When I use DJI O3 on RC Car, it always in STANDBY MODE, LOW POWER. how to fix it? Please help 😢
I have a product called the O3 Armer. It’s for sale at ProgressiveRC, RaceDayQuads and GetFPV. That’s what you need 🤙
Hey Chadd sick work man! I’d be interested in a FPV setup ! Let’s work something out 😊
Right on! My email is in the description of my videos. Shoot me some info on what all you’d like!
Can you please contact me, I’d be interested in working something out for a FPV kit very serious.
This video is awesome, I’m super new to RC world like 2 days new and I saw video on TikTok of someone doing PVF with a RC so I’m determined to do this. I just grabbed a Arrma Vorteks 4x4 - some research but this is great to start me off! Thanks so much
I just sent you an email
Your videos are brilliant love watching them even though half the stuff I cant afford here in South Africa or is not available unless I import which is also crap expensive but mark my words 1 day I will have a digital setup with miles of range like yours, you and ADHD is the reason I started my fpv rc car journey. You are a inspiration to me and a lot of others watching your content.
Thanks dude! I know import taxes a pain. I know you’ll get there tho!! 🤙
My Goggle Integra Fpv Keep on Turns off frequently what is Happened my Fpv. Please sort out my Issue...
Awesome review! Hope we get to see more Meepos and other e skates on your channel 😁
After watching this video I think I’ll just walk with the car. It’ll be easier.
Hi, I am looking for a set containing of a Receiver, a camera, and a transmitter costing about 100-150€ can you put Ono together for that price, which should have a far range?
⚠️Beware of Ordering from Meepo! I ordered an electric skateboard from Meepo on July 1st. It has now been over 97 days, and I still haven’t received my product. Customer service has been unresponsive, giving me false promises and no real solutions. I’ve requested a refund due to the excessive delay, but I’m still waiting for any action. If you’re thinking of buying from Meepo, be prepared for long waits, poor communication, and potentially not receiving your order at all. Proceed with caution!
I wish they sold everything already set up. Too much work. Great video, bro!
nice product , will be mounting on a small plane .. for a flight time of 20 mins max what size seperate battery should I use to power the 03 armer /DJI 03? 2s 250 mah? or Bigger 500 mah or can i use the flight battery balance tap and power the O3 via XSTH-XT30 adapter? will it cause any RF interference?
Thanks! If you’re powering your plane from a 2s or 3s you can totally power from the flight pack’s balance lead. It won’t interfere at all with the RF side of things. You can technically use a 4s, but it’s kind of necessary to add a 25v 470uf capacitor if you do that. It will draw about 30w to power the O3 air unit, Armer and fan, so a 2s 250mah may be a bit too small for a 20min flight time.
Got everything now……..I’m losing my patience 😒 can’t get the damn thing to bind 😭 CHADD HELP!!!!!
Pro tip: plug your crossfire module into your PC and use TBS agent M (just google that and it will come up). From there you can mess with everything in the crossfire module. You likely need to update the module in order to bind to the receiver, as most receivers have newer hardware than needs new fw. Lmk if you get stuck 🤙
So getting higher up to get range and connection, instead of finding high ground could you get a tower and set up the antenna on said tower so you don't have to climb on top of the roof? There is a 24' telescope camera tripod I found on Amazon that I think would be high enough. Then just run the wires down it and hook into witch ever screen you are using..... also perhaps putting the transmitter antenna up there as well. I'm sure this wouldn't go as smooth as it does in my head, but this is the system I'm looking at building. Would you have any input towards maybe things I would need to think about doing something like this? I apologize for the lengthy comment 😅 love what you are doing for the community, keep up the good work 🤘
I'm looking to get about 5 miles away with a gas-powered car...... just for reference on what the goal is.
Quite the goal, my dude! But yes, you’re on the right track with the telescopic mount. That style of “ground station” has been common for years and I’ll make a video showing off mine at some point. There’s some things you’ll likely need to get that kind of distance, like a very directional antenna (a TrueRC X2-Air is a good option) and likely an antenna tracker (though that is a pretty complicated setup, honestly). Remember it a hobby and that goal will not happen on the first try, but it can happen if you keep at it! 🤙
Does anyone know if there is now a way to order the item in Europe or just the US?
I’ll be sending a bunch to FPV24 here soon. I need to get the next batch ready and I’ll get their invoice sent over. I don’t know any EU dealers besides them and I only just found out about them. I’d love to have these stocked better in EU 👍
@@ChaddRainsFPV thanks for the quick reply. fpv24 is good and even just a few kilometers from my home. Alternative large FPV and RC shops include "Lindinger", "Rc- Hangar 15", "Premium Modellbau" or "Rctech".
love mine
can we get a updated version instructions unclear and I fried my esc 😭😭😭
I have a v3s with the er battery and just tried to hook them both up but it just made a pop and now ecu won't take power 😂😂😂
Can it have a osd elements such as voltage, gps and radio link osd by using a quadcopter flight controller?
subbed been wanting a straight forward approach for a minute!
Thanks brother. More to come 🤙
Is it safe if i set to 250mw TX Power? Like i wont get any cancer or shit😂 sry im new to radios and stuff
😂 There’s WiFi boosters all over populated areas (like the mall) that output thousands of mw. 250 won’t hurt ya 🤙
What is the battery you need to run it thanks
3S LiPo is best. Any capacity above 1000mah should be fine 🤙
Please test the Alpha 10
pizza batteries just don't last period.
What's typical drive time with that car and equipment?
My 4s 8000mah let’s me put around for almost an hour. If I’m bashing, still 35-40 minutes 🤙

Personally would of replaced the driver with the fpv cam.
It’s def cooler, but not better. If you’re going fast you need to be able to see bumps or you’ll flip. If the camera is low, and inside the frame your visibility sucks. You’re right, it is a cool look though 🤙
If you make the kit i will buy it
how fast does this car go?
So where can i buy all this ?
I need your help what do I need to buy to do this to my RC arrma vehicle I need to to be able to have long range and fpv googles and camera ? Please give me a list of what I need to buy to install on my rc car ? Thank you
In my newer videos I have links to everything. I recommend the ELRS version of the RadioMaster MT12 now. The video system is O3 Air Unit with an O3 Armer and DJI Goggles2 or Integra. You can email too, I link it in the newer videos 🤙

@@ChaddRainsFPV will do and thank you for the response...
Just need the nano rx now 🤦🏾♂️ I tell you this FPV rc car stuff is not easy…….☹️. Anyone who says it is is a damn liar 😂
A while back I poset that Iwas not able to find one of these. I have since deleted that post. I have one from progressive rc. I have tested it on an older CADDX Vista and it seems to work fine. I used the PWM switch mode. When I put the PWM output to HI the O3 Armer powers on the CADDX Vista. When I set the PWM signal to LOW it power the CADDIX Vista off. Thanks for a great product.
One note. I did remove the 5v power comming from the receiver to the O3 Armer. I only use signal and ground. Not sure if it matters or not?
Thanks for the feedback! We actually removed the trace for the center (5v) pin on the PWM input side, just in case someone wasn’t aware. Thanks for getting this from PRC. I still have not set up a website as running that on top of my 2 other jobs would be insane for me right now haha. Thanks again and let me know if anything ever comes up!
Hey im new in FPV and i want also like to hsve an FPV setip can u help me ?
Sure I have dozens of videos that explain almost every part of building one yourself 🤙
Traxxas ESC just blinking green. Steering work but motor doesn’t. Express LRS lower the Packet Rate 50Hz(-115dB Should hook up.
It sounds like the blinking esc is saying it needs to be calibrated or something. I’m not familiar with Traxxas stuff but that seems to be the deal 👍
Great vid. I’d like to get this set up inside of an scx6 honcho.
I've seen setups where people had monitors in their office with flightsticks and could go hundreds of miles with long-range FPV planes.
yeah, theoretically 100mW is = to 100 miles, but thats like perfect antenna setup in a desert, but people wont get these setups so they just do 1w+ and still get like 20 miles
Analog offers more flexibility. You can design this setup for whatever situation. It's how much you want to spend. Analog can far exceed digital. But you are talking about an extreme setup.
Please do headtracking with it. 😢❤
You should give the 1.2ghz vtx stuff a try. I’m running elrs 900mhz for rc link and the range and performance is incredible, believe I’ll be doing a fixed wing of some sort with the Geprc maten 1.2ghz 2W vtx
I have a huge amount of 1.3ghz noise in my area. I’d love to finish my ground station video but I can’t bring myself to “show off” my other rigs when they perform so bad compared to all the other options (I know it’s just a ‘high noise floor’ issue in my area) 🤙
