Thanks for your interest. I still have all of this working just as it is shown in this video and there are many other vehicles as well! I’d love to turn this into a business with multiple sims and cars racing around an indoor venue with camera angles all around the track. If you’d like to help make that possible please reach out to m.a.adib96@gmail.com
I appreciate the effort you're putting into this, it very well could become a business, with transparency and the ability for people to simply come to a location and experience it!
I have a pretty decent amount of ideas to improve the control loop, reduce latency, etc that could be implemented, where are you located generally and would you be open to receive remote consulting? I just can't relocate but I'd love to help make this happen and improve it.
Fun idea. People can drive real cars from anywhere or even send their own for a race, without being there in person. Only latency and reliability might cause unpredictable troubles..
@@dailybusiness8162 I think that would get pretty limited by the people with setups capable and don't really think the latency part of that could be overcome. I'm honestly surprised he had as good an experience over 4G
It would be so funny to have two of these setup and have a friend with a cop car and do a chase. I'd love to see people's reaction to a mini car chase coming out of nowhere.
If he could somehow fix the input lag, it would be just perfect 😍 He was lucky the roads were empty, because without mirrors and peripheral view, could have been a tragedy for the RC car. In any case, amazing work!
@@1970Metallica I don't think a few years is going to solve that, or at least we're at the point of diminishing returns. Assuming the camera is 30fps, that's 33ms per frame. Assuming worst case scenarios where the the information of the frame is sent on the next actual frame, it then needs to be encoded to be transmitted, travel some distance at the speed of light (negligible time delay at these distances), then decoded, run through the computer, through the next GPU cycle, then assuming the screen refresh rate is 60fps, that's another minimum of 16ms being added. Absolute best case scenario you're looking at a minimum of 50ms delay, but with transcoding, I wouldn't expect anything under 100ms any time soon. Not without putting overpowered computing on the vehicle and spending cashmoney, yk?
@XRMissieMusic They just need to bypass the computer all together and go with a 5.8 video transmitter and custom map the chair setup also to direct rf. Would be running 90fps with 14ms latency
This is the stuff I used to dream and fantasize about growing up in the late 80's/early 90's.. I wanted a camera mounted RC helicopter or plane actually, but I would have been stoked with a PoV RC car.. 30 years later, we got private drones with cameras and the rest became history.. cool setup, I'm still jelly even 30+ years later..
It ain't too late. I started flying FPV quadcopters two years ago at 61. It was always something I thought would be awesome too, and it is. Especially with everything digital now.

@@VycroYT Yeah, I know of these limitations. My thought was to perhaps create a system which isn't as remote but the connectivity is of higher quality. So essentially have a certain place, like a built to scale race track on an old parking lot and have simrigs be somewhere close to it. Then the data flow could be less of a bottleneck here. And for FFB I think a good start would be some sensors directly inside of the tires measuring compression or some other parameter that could be interpreted to FFB data. But that's a far reach, first I'd have to do some isolated tests to even check out if it's possible. Maybe a good project to have fun with when I'm not busy with my life like I am right now.

wow what a cool idea, could turn this into a race sim café with a warehouse that has a track, the RC cars and engineers/marshals. while the café has the racing rigs, with people playing, watching and eating great food. be a great day/night out.
This is sooo ridiculously cool. Ive been captivated the whole way through! What an incredible and creative thing to do. I feel every hobbyist needs to see this! Crazy! Thanks for creating this content Mohammad!
Why? Everyone can do it with money. You just need to buy an rc car with camera and use some already made programs to do it. I doubt he compiled any of it.
I actually thought about doing something like this when I make my own RC. Good to see that people already tried and it feels really smooth for a indie creation.
I thought I'd found a new idea until I checked online! What you've produced is incredible. May I suggest you approach F1 with an idea to create scaled down Micro F1 tracks for the public to practice/race on for a season, each Micro F1 Championship race taking pace when the actual F1 event is at that course. All courses could be built in one place where the climate is good for all year round use, such as Southern Spain, Morocco or Arizona. Having them in one place means they can all be run and managed properly 24/7 to cope with world market time zones. Having the F1 drivers race a 20 minutes event a week before an F1 round would create great media coverage for them, and the online ad space value while the race is live would be worth a fortune. Just another one of my slightly ridiculous, but potentially highly popular and lucrative thoughts!
"no issues or lag" lolwut, did we even watch the same video? There's almost half a second of visual lag, which means the 125-150 ms of latency he's showing on the screen is probably one-way, making the round-trip latency, I.E. from input to response on the screen, twice that.
This is one of the coolest RC car videos on UA-cam. I was looking to put a FPV camera on my RC car and came across this. Pretty good range to be able to go around the neighborhood. Great job!
That's awesome and can see you put a lot of effort into this! I remember only being able to imagine this being possible many years ago when watching an RC car race. Glad to see it's finally achievable :)
Finally the movies' way of doing long-range RCs has come to life! Well. A lot of things aren't possible yet, like force feedback and 60fps recording, but anything that makes it remotely close to the ultimate RC experience is a big win for me :)
This is super cool! Have you considered adding VR and head tracking with a 360 cam inside the car so that it can feel as close to the real thing as possible? Still super amazing just the way it is! Great job on the build!
While it would be incredible in theory, the latency involved in this setup would make a VR headset extremely nauseating. Lag and VR do not go well together, especially 200ms+. The technology needed to make a portable 360° camera stream at sub 100ms doesn't really exist yet. EDIT: It doesn't really exist yet outside of proprietary implementations, like DJI FPV drones.
Actually it would be cool to make racings with real toy cars. Only with a keyboard even without a wheel. The coolest part is to compete like in computer gaming but in real world. 🙂 Something like multiplayer games but with real toy cars and in real conditions. It would be fantastic 🧡if someone some days create such a format.
@@zachm522 I watch this channel. It is interesting. Now they are at the beginning of the way. Because it is interesting not only drive, but compete in groups on different tracks, different types of cars, may be tracks with obstacles and so on. May be complete some missions. Of course only on computer or tablet. I.e. multi-player game like pubg, wot blitz etc. To make this in real world it will require much. But it might be the biggest fun. 🎉💛
From the thumb nail I thought this was just some racing sim junk, but WOW this is super cool. I'm glad I clicked.Very impressive RCs. Thanks for the share.
You should use the onboard IMU sensors to do force feedback also :D Great job on making this all work, I understand it's a lot of work on multiple different software layers.
You clearly put some effort into making this happen. It was a joy to watch so I can't imagine the reward you got from actually driving the car and it working so well. Good job Sir! A like and a Sub well earned! And may I ask, what kind of reliable range do you get?
I had the same idea while talking to a friend and came to youtube to check if anyone tried it. Awesome project, I will start a similar one soon. The biggest challenge would be to implement some sort of force feedback based on whats happening to the RC car.
Been thinking about that as well, and I think I have a solution. Using the guts of a two stick multichannel RC transmitter, you can connect the potentiometers to the swing arms, combined with data from a gyro would give you pretty accurate telemetry that could be received on the control end by a standard receiver and input directly into a 4 actuator motion rig. The gyro data would be used if you also have a rig which rotates. As for the force feedback, I'm pretty sure that there are servos which measure and relay the force applied to it, but barring that you could attach another channel pot to the steering rack to send back its movements and then use an algorithm to remove the motion due to steering input leaving only the feedback from the road for the force feedback. I did something similar a couple of years back with a large buggy and my racing rig, the video is here on my YT channel. I had much shorter range, but much better video quality. I had it working with a gimbal and head tracking too at one point, but there was too much drift and I didn't want to lose a very expensive RC car rig, but now I've got that solved using DJI gear for rock solid head tracking, and I just now ordered a stereo camera rig that uses Raspberry Pi gear, and compiles the side by side image at the source, so I can transmit a 3D image back using EZ Wi-Fi Broadcast for low latency and decent range. The signal will then be ported into a custom VR goggle with a 4K screen, so when combined with accurate head tracking should give me full immersion. I'll also be eventually adding an array of mics to complete the illusion.
@@miggyfixx6418 Really good ideas. I watched the video on your channel. I was a really good project already. I can only imagine the results using head tracking and the VR goggle. I'm subscribing to your channel, please post a video when you finish or even during the project, I'm sure many people would like to see it.
If you looked down in the bottom left hand of the main screen it had latency info which stayed around 140ms. Which is decent. For something moving so fast maybe it's not the best, but it's still alright. You can probably get sub 100 ms with some providers.
I have been wanting to do something like this for a while but never got the idea off the ground that's super awesome. If you could figure out a way to make a triple camera feed you might be able to shoot side views to the peripheral monitors so crossing streets doesn't suck so bad
Seems like you could mount the cam on it's own servo to be able to look right and left out the windows like a driver would. This is awesome dude, keep going!
I can imagine this as a race series akin to Nascar, IMSA, maybe even open wheel like Indycar or F1....an affordable way to get into racing...very cool!
You should make a mini driver's license and a mini insurance card for when you are pulled over by the mini police. It would be helpful to add two more cameras or a much wider FOV so you can "look out the side windows". I noticed it was difficult for you to navigate corners because of blind spots. It is dangerous to fly a car past people at 60mph.
Great video. The only thing missing when out on the streets the way you just did, is a camera that can swivel by remote control and be able to look to the sides to see if there are any cross traffic, real vehicles coming at your RC car. Right now you are just hoping nothing is coming at your RC car. Take care.
Dude this is rad! I flew FPV drones for a minute; and often wondered why FPV wasn't in an RC car and boom... Here it is. Nice work! How do you get such good range out of your controller? That school was way further distance than I thought you could get
he’s not using RF, which would allow for a much higher quality and much lower latency, since there are dozens of obstacles that would block an RF signal at that range. cellular ip
This is AWESOME! Only thing I'd want would be either peripheral cameras for side screens- but thats asking a lot from something this awesome already. There's definitely a future for this. Feels WAY faster than 20-60mph, but maybe thats how scale physics works? Its awesome. So, I was pretty sure fantasy football wasn't a passing fad when it began, but I never thought it would become as big as it has. Lasertag as been around a while, when I was coming up, paintball markers was huge- but airsoft ended up being the one that's huge. I think this has got something like that to it.
i was just wondering about the radio signal and how you have ability to go so far. ive been into hobby grade rc since a small child and 36yrs now. ive never seen a rc go this far from the transmitter. i read you say its because youre using cell phone transmitter. thats brilliant. great work here. just amazing
As one viewer pointed out, Havine two other cams angled right and left, displayed on your side monitors would be very helpful in those corners. Perhaps even a low-res rearview cam. That is, of course, provided you have the bandwidth to carry three (maybe 4) video streams. Additionally a stereo audio stream might be helpful to hear if something is coming. But again, bandwidth. Cool stuff, man!
Awesome set up! I love it. I’m also into Rc and sim rig set ups and this is the ultimate for sure. One thing I would add is placing the camera on a mount that could be rotated by a servo so you can look left and right before crossing intersections. Would hate to see that car get crunched.
This is awesome. I would love to do something like this with left and right perspectives for better driving safety. Other than that, this project looks amazing
i tried to do this with a wyze cam on a battery mounted on an rc car. the lag was terrible. i guess the new wyze cams have less lag. this is my dream dream come true keep it up!

wow what a cool idea, could turn this into a race sim café with a warehouse that has a track, the RC cars and engineers/marshals. while the café has the racing rigs, with people playing, watching and eating great food. be a great day/night out.
Home made drone RC car, what's not to love. You are a freaking genius. Dreamed about it as a kid.
This is sooo ridiculously cool. Ive been captivated the whole way through! What an incredible and creative thing to do. I feel every hobbyist needs to see this! Crazy! Thanks for creating this content Mohammad!
Ye I'm sure passing intersections without looking is pretty cool... Freeking US man I can't..
Sounds like a fun passion project. Building a car’s mechanical parts and electronics from scratch
Your so lucky as an FPV Car driver you don't need to worry about line of sight crap like the FAA does to FPV Drone pilots.
Drone Wars . Very skilled operator .Very nice Build .
You might be on to something here. Great work, I absolutely love this!
This needs more recognition. Awesome work
This guy is going to be a millionaire if he isn't already.
Why? Everyone can do it with money. You just need to buy an rc car with camera and use some already made programs to do it. I doubt he compiled any of it.
I actually thought about doing something like this when I make my own RC. Good to see that people already tried and it feels really smooth for a indie creation.
I would not be able to believe my eyes seeing this in on coming traffic, and absolutely no dude in sight. amazing tech - well done !
I thought I'd found a new idea until I checked online! What you've produced is incredible. May I suggest you approach F1 with an idea to create scaled down Micro F1 tracks for the public to practice/race on for a season, each Micro F1 Championship race taking pace when the actual F1 event is at that course. All courses could be built in one place where the climate is good for all year round use, such as Southern Spain, Morocco or Arizona. Having them in one place means they can all be run and managed properly 24/7 to cope with world market time zones. Having the F1 drivers race a 20 minutes event a week before an F1 round would create great media coverage for them, and the online ad space value while the race is live would be worth a fortune. Just another one of my slightly ridiculous, but potentially highly popular and lucrative thoughts!
Impressive that it holds the connection so well with seemingly no issues or lag
Exactly my first thought! 🤘
there is 100-200ms of lag, very noticable actually
there is tons of latency
"no issues or lag"
lolwut, did we even watch the same video? There's almost half a second of visual lag, which means the 125-150 ms of latency he's showing on the screen is probably one-way, making the round-trip latency, I.E. from input to response on the screen, twice that.
@@E36Variance ohh that makes more sense now, was thinking damn that's alotta lag for 150ms
Am I the only one here visualizing in my brain all the things that could've gone terribly wrong in that run?
A jaywalking mouse perhaps? 😂
Ankle smasher 5000
no guts no glory
@redmercury77 captain. Gazpacho the mouse
That would have shattered someone's leg beyond repair.
This is one of the coolest RC car videos on UA-cam. I was looking to put a FPV camera on my RC car and came across this. Pretty good range to be able to go around the neighborhood. Great job!
That's awesome and can see you put a lot of effort into this! I remember only being able to imagine this being possible many years ago when watching an RC car race. Glad to see it's finally achievable :)
Finally the movies' way of doing long-range RCs has come to life! Well. A lot of things aren't possible yet, like force feedback and 60fps recording, but anything that makes it remotely close to the ultimate RC experience is a big win for me :)
nice unintentional pun
So good. 2 more cameras, one either side that got o your side monitors for a wide view would be epic!!
The limiter here is a connection speed
Otherwise there would be at least better main cam
This is super cool! Have you considered adding VR and head tracking with a 360 cam inside the car so that it can feel as close to the real thing as possible? Still super amazing just the way it is! Great job on the build!
This!!!!!!
While it would be incredible in theory, the latency involved in this setup would make a VR headset extremely nauseating. Lag and VR do not go well together, especially 200ms+. The technology needed to make a portable 360° camera stream at sub 100ms doesn't really exist yet.
EDIT: It doesn't really exist yet outside of proprietary implementations, like DJI FPV drones.
First off, DOPE!!!!!! I would love to see the FPV camera with a head tracker system. Great job.
You sir, are a great man and my new hero. A pov drone and sea baby are now a must. For you I mean.
Actually it would be cool to make racings with real toy cars. Only with a keyboard even without a wheel. The coolest part is to compete like in computer gaming but in real world. 🙂 Something like multiplayer games but with real toy cars and in real conditions. It would be fantastic 🧡if someone some days create such a format.
That’s would be pretty cool.
@@zachm522 will this technology be available in the US?
They are testing in the U.S. now.
I actually made this a few months ago, and make lots of stuff like it for my channel :)
@@zachm522 I watch this channel. It is interesting. Now they are at the beginning of the way. Because it is interesting not only drive, but compete in groups on different tracks, different types of cars, may be tracks with obstacles and so on. May be complete some missions. Of course only on computer or tablet. I.e. multi-player game like pubg, wot blitz etc. To make this in real world it will require much. But it might be the biggest fun. 🎉💛
There should be an entire RC racing league that uses sim cockpits for their race!
Great job, this is pushing the envelope, with so many real life applications. How come this video doesnt have 10 M views!!
Cause this has been done before my friends dad in the 90s/00 done this different set up obviously.
@@bradleythorburn90s tech doesn’t even come close to what we have today. That was probably a terrible experience
From the thumb nail I thought this was just some racing sim junk, but WOW this is super cool. I'm glad I clicked.Very impressive RCs. Thanks for the share.
One of the best cars ever made and driven! RIP KB! You are the future, my guy!
You should use the onboard IMU sensors to do force feedback also :D Great job on making this all work, I understand it's a lot of work on multiple different software layers.
You clearly put some effort into making this happen. It was a joy to watch so I can't imagine the reward you got from actually driving the car and it working so well. Good job Sir! A like and a Sub well earned! And may I ask, what kind of reliable range do you get?
This is beyond cool. Every 90s kids dream.
90s kid here. I can confirm.
Impressive work getting that working over 4G with sub 200ms latency.
That is one of the coolest things i have ever seen. I know how hard that was to achieve. Simply Amazing!!!
I had the same idea while talking to a friend and came to youtube to check if anyone tried it. Awesome project, I will start a similar one soon. The biggest challenge would be to implement some sort of force feedback based on whats happening to the RC car.
Been thinking about that as well, and I think I have a solution. Using the guts of a two stick multichannel RC transmitter, you can connect the potentiometers to the swing arms, combined with data from a gyro would give you pretty accurate telemetry that could be received on the control end by a standard receiver and input directly into a 4 actuator motion rig. The gyro data would be used if you also have a rig which rotates. As for the force feedback, I'm pretty sure that there are servos which measure and relay the force applied to it, but barring that you could attach another channel pot to the steering rack to send back its movements and then use an algorithm to remove the motion due to steering input leaving only the feedback from the road for the force feedback. I did something similar a couple of years back with a large buggy and my racing rig, the video is here on my YT channel. I had much shorter range, but much better video quality. I had it working with a gimbal and head tracking too at one point, but there was too much drift and I didn't want to lose a very expensive RC car rig, but now I've got that solved using DJI gear for rock solid head tracking, and I just now ordered a stereo camera rig that uses Raspberry Pi gear, and compiles the side by side image at the source, so I can transmit a 3D image back using EZ Wi-Fi Broadcast for low latency and decent range. The signal will then be ported into a custom VR goggle with a 4K screen, so when combined with accurate head tracking should give me full immersion. I'll also be eventually adding an array of mics to complete the illusion.
@@miggyfixx6418 Really good ideas. I watched the video on your channel. I was a really good project already. I can only imagine the results using head tracking and the VR goggle. I'm subscribing to your channel, please post a video when you finish or even during the project, I'm sure many people would like to see it.
Have u watch the cloudrc yt its so dope for me.
Same lol
I would be more worried about latency lol
Can you explain the LTE drivability in more detail please? I would love to make one of my own
Just code a server/client software that handles all the traffic simple as that :D (we have done that.... not that simple xD)
Really cool idea and execution, I'd just be worried about the latency.
If you looked down in the bottom left hand of the main screen it had latency info which stayed around 140ms. Which is decent. For something moving so fast maybe it's not the best, but it's still alright. You can probably get sub 100 ms with some providers.
One of the coolest things I've ever seen. I love how much you love this.
Had this idea for like two decades now, cool to see somebody actually do it.
Wow this could become new sport without death 😁
Just need to know how to improve the signal camera, and its ready for real RC POV racing sport
I have been wanting to do something like this for a while but never got the idea off the ground that's super awesome. If you could figure out a way to make a triple camera feed you might be able to shoot side views to the peripheral monitors so crossing streets doesn't suck so bad
Seems like you could mount the cam on it's own servo to be able to look right and left out the windows like a driver would. This is awesome dude, keep going!
I used to run RC cars. Always thought something like this would be amazing, but you actually made it happen.
I can imagine this as a race series akin to Nascar, IMSA, maybe even open wheel like Indycar or F1....an affordable way to get into racing...very cool!
has alot of potential. less latency. better steering. more fps for the camera view with a HD cam. and this could go a long way
You should make a mini driver's license and a mini insurance card for when you are pulled over by the mini police.
It would be helpful to add two more cameras or a much wider FOV so you can "look out the side windows". I noticed it was difficult for you to navigate corners because of blind spots.
It is dangerous to fly a car past people at 60mph.
Everything's dangerous
Great video. The only thing missing when out on the streets the way you just did, is a camera that can swivel by remote control and be able to look to the sides to see if there are any cross traffic, real vehicles coming at your RC car. Right now you are just hoping nothing is coming at your RC car.
Take care.
That is awesome, well done! I'd love to see it over jumps next, dirt track maybe?
This is awesome. How much does it cost for the fpv and what parts did you use
Dude this is rad! I flew FPV drones for a minute; and often wondered why FPV wasn't in an RC car and boom... Here it is. Nice work! How do you get such good range out of your controller? That school was way further distance than I thought you could get
he’s not using RF, which would allow for a much higher quality and much lower latency, since there are dozens of obstacles that would block an RF signal at that range. cellular ip
This is AWESOME! Only thing I'd want would be either peripheral cameras for side screens- but thats asking a lot from something this awesome already.
There's definitely a future for this. Feels WAY faster than 20-60mph, but maybe thats how scale physics works? Its awesome.
So, I was pretty sure fantasy football wasn't a passing fad when it began, but I never thought it would become as big as it has.
Lasertag as been around a while, when I was coming up, paintball markers was huge- but airsoft ended up being the one that's huge.
I think this has got something like that to it.
The toys these days are a dream come true. Fantastic!!
I'm seriously impressed with the quality of you're 4G, over here in the UK you'd never get this to work due to the latency.
take this to the top. sooo much possibility with what you've done. amazing work, do not stop!!!!
Unmistakably the Great Pacific Northwest. Never take for granted how beautiful it is to live there!
Dude let's not gloss over the fact this guy is hella smart. Made it all himself, the abs algorithm, etc
Absolutely brilliant. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Very impressive!!! I have been waiting for someone to use cellular signal to do exactly this!!!
That’s a fine piece of engineering! Congrats on a successful mission.
You may have just unlocked a new addiction for me. Thanks, brother.
Really good work. So basically u made a drone. U could do this to RC planes too.
i was just wondering about the radio signal and how you have ability to go so far. ive been into hobby grade rc since a small child and 36yrs now. ive never seen a rc go this far from the transmitter. i read you say its because youre using cell phone transmitter. thats brilliant. great work here. just amazing
Add mini trucker style mirrors on the hood. perfect for seeing any oncoming traffic on the rear peripheral.
As one viewer pointed out, Havine two other cams angled right and left, displayed on your side monitors would be very helpful in those corners. Perhaps even a low-res rearview cam. That is, of course, provided you have the bandwidth to carry three (maybe 4) video streams. Additionally a stereo audio stream might be helpful to hear if something is coming. But again, bandwidth.
Cool stuff, man!
What a way to surveil an area. This is brilliant.
Awesome set up! I love it. I’m also into Rc and sim rig set ups and this is the ultimate for sure. One thing I would add is placing the camera on a mount that could be rotated by a servo so you can look left and right before crossing intersections. Would hate to see that car get crunched.
amazing set up dude! reminds me of gta san andreas missions! your neighborhood looks nice!
I can't believe this is two years old! To bad you're not into this anymore... imagine 3 camera setup, one for each monitor, etc.
This is awesome. I would love to do something like this with left and right perspectives for better driving safety. Other than that, this project looks amazing
This is one of the most genius things in rc stuff I've ever seen! 👍
That was awesome, great job, really impressed with the stability of the car at speed
I absolutely love this fpv car. Great video
How'd you get the signal to stay strong enough for input and camera feed?
i tried to do this with a wyze cam on a battery mounted on an rc car. the lag was terrible. i guess the new wyze cams have less lag. this is my dream dream come true keep it up!
