Man this gotta be the best and most realistic video of a scale rally race I’ve ever seen! Wow! That’s freaking impressive! It felt like if I was watching the real deal!👌😍👉♥️👍Damn you a good driver!
That's really heart warming mate! Many thanks! 😊
That is my goal, getting the scale rally car to do the scale rally stage in FPV. This is such a beautiful track and covered in snow was a real challenge! 😉
I have a playlist with my favourite locations, might wanna check it out if you haven't already 😉

@@Weekend-Driver I’ll be watching and subscribing 😎👍
@@anibalbabilonia1867 Many thanks! 😊👌
yes i can agree with that...looks like real time
@@hejdiklump Thanks! 😊
This looks absolutely spot-on at 0.75 speed, just like a real rally on-board!
Thanks! 😊 Maybe if I add weight to the car, it's gonna calm down? Grip will not last, forcing me to go slower over all 🙂
please do. more weight then slow the video down a little and it will look sooo real.@@Weekend-Driver
@@stonyfieldmotorsports I drove on a lake the other day, it felt really good. Not as fast, more like drifting 😁
Die cast racing chamnels just make their videos half speed. Maybe you could just pump yours out in . 75 speed if frame rate isn't an issue.
This is the most jealous I’ve been in a long time 😢
Thank you for taking the time to add a map, count down, and for giving us a first person view of this. I love this so much. Thank you
Thanks mate! 😊
Welxome to my channel then, as this is my current standard format of videos! 😀
I add the map to give some more context and then mix the camera angles. I usually have a few external and the onboard. I cut it down to 3-5 laps and I try to find s good one to get the time and see if I can improve later 🙂
This track is really the pathways of a miniature golf course. When I started with FPV I also started looking for some narrower tracks to improve the scale appearance and I fo6nd that the adventure type golf courses usually had some really nice pathways... 😁👌
Amazing video and very well driven! That's a real life childhoods dream you've got there 😄
Thanks! 😊🙏
For sure is! If I designed my own track, I couldn't do much better than this. I'd just change the sign to 'FPV RC track' instead of 'Miniature golf'! 😄
exactly! Imagine that, how cool!
Epic. Definitely going to show my dad this. We love watching rally videos on UA-cam, and I love RC, so this is perfect.❤
Thanks mate! 😊 Same here!
These are my main two intrests 😁
Sliding around, getting it to turn, staying on the road (preferably) 😅 Super nice feeling.
Stay tuned, I got plenty more vids similar to this from various locations! 😉
WRC, got new meaning, worldz radio control🔥💨
Thanks mate! Yeah, this was an enjoyable stage! 😊
This is pure rc fun. Absolutely awesome! 😃
Thanks! 😁
it's really amazing driving around in "my own little world" so to speak. It's someone elses venue of course but if I ever would build an RC track, this is what style I'd go for... 😀
@@Weekend-Driver I can feel this. I also plan to build a rally car with FPV kit in the future! 😃
@@rc_michi I highly recommend it! an analog setup will work, but a digital one will give a lot more opportunities still. I changed this summer after I got to test the car of @mrcrally263 (might wanna check out his channel aswell). OK, so I didn't have the worlds greatest analog setup, but I found the used DJI v1 not too expensive due to not being compatible with O3 air unit but still a huge step up from my fatshark attitude. especially regarding image not flickering about so much and also resolution of course. :D
Feel free to ask if you have any more questions! :)
@@Weekend-Driver Thank you! I'll try 😄
Thank you Kalle!!! You made my friday evening!!. Amazing onboard filming ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks! 😊🙏
I'm happy to bring some RC entertainment to start the weekend :D
You've inspired me to get back into the hobby, after 40-years (1984 Tamiya Frog), now to show my son. Thank you 👍
Good to hear! Great getting the new generation to enjoy the hobby! 😊
this is awesome!! RC FPV on snow!
Thanks! 😊🙏
It's an adventure minigolf course. I think the environment is so nice there. A bit tricky to avoid all the rocks in the summer and the snow banks were really hungry for small rally cars that day.. 😅
But when you nail it, it's unbeatable! 😃
Nice! Drivning in snowy conditions are so much fun!
Thanks! 😊🙏 I think it's my favourite! It's a special kind of low grip, it's good for the videos and it keeps the car clean. It's great! :D
@@Weekend-Driver I agree!
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! 😊 I'm happy you like it! 😃
megaaa 👌👌👌👌
Thanks mate! 😊
Brilliant fun. Well done. 👍🏆😀
Thanks mate! 😊
This is on my playlist of top spots for sure! really awesome place to drive! 😀
Great video and solid driving!
Thanks mate! 😊🙏
very realistic ; nice job
Thanks mate! 😊
It was a bit frustrating with the super low grip, but I thought I'll stay with these tires for the sake of the video, should look good.. 😁
awesome!!!! loving the FPV!! Cool vid!!!
Thanks mate! Yeah it's so much fun. Did you check my video with DVR from my dji goggles? That's exactly what I see in the live feed when I drive with the dji goggs! 😀
Here's a link if you wanna check it out:
ua-cam.com/video/k1tW5kifeXY/v-deo.html
Wow! this is so much more entertaining to watch compared to fpv drones. Nice driving skills!
Thanks mate! 😊
I try to copy full scale rally. Some little info on the "stage" to start with, then a lot of onboards and some external shots. I do slow motion when I can to try to capture the extra nice details! 😀 I made a playlist with my top spots that you can check out if you wanna see more. Editors choice 😁
Oh yeahhhhh!!! What a great video. 👍 😁
Thanks mate! 😊
If you liked this, I have made a whole series from different tracks, different road surfaces but the same FPV car. 😃
What a great clip and the track looks awsome!
Thanks! 😀
Yeah, this is a truly amazing track. Has the nice flowing bends, lined with hige rocks and also some crests and stuff like that. Way too good track to only play miniature golf on it... 😅
@@Weekend-Driver Wish that I had something similar here!
I search google maps for these places. Adventure miniature golf, daycare (lanes for childrens bikes), stuff like that. There's also traffic playgrounds. Kids are supposed to learn basic signs and rules in a small town like road network. Usually containing crossroads, a roundabout, speed bumps etc. Scaled for tricycles and smaller bikes. I approve... 😁
This is my childhood imagination! Amazing
Yeah, tell me about it! 😁 Now rhat I'm starting to get the hang of it, it's really great. And the amount of places where I can drive has really increased, not having to see the car or being high up for the overview. 😊
This is so cool!
Thanks mate! 😊🙏
It was very slippy and tricky but when getting the slides to start and end where I wanted, is truly amazing.
To get a good time, the car needs to pointed in the right direction before the turn, but only a bit to much in the snow bank just turns the it around instanly. So it's also about managing the risk. Atleast the snow banks doesn't damage my "prestine" bodywork... 😅🤣
Awesome!
Thakks mate! 😊
Everything about this is awesome!
Thanks mate! 😊
It's all enabled by the use of FPV goggles. It just opens up a new world of driving possibilities. I would have had to run behind the car if I didn't have the goggles and I'm not good at running and driving at the same time... 😅
Just fantastic!
Thanks mate! 😊
It truly is! This day was super slippery but sometimes I just nailed the lines, even just a couple of corners at a time, but that feeling was really great! And now I have even better goggles with better range and penetration! 😉
Cool stuff !!!
Thanks mate! 😊
OMFG this is awesome! What a great track! What fantastic driving! Excellent camera work and editing, too!
Thanks mate! 😊
It's at a miniature golf course. I "borrowed" the pathways. it's such a nice scale environment and * really like the flow of the track 😁
Great driving and editing work!!
Thanks! 😊🙏
Вот это внатуре круто !
Thanks mate! 😊
This is what I do mostly on the channel, it's my little sub-genre in RC. Feel free to check my other videos as well of you liked this one! 😀
One of the problems, my friends and I face when driving our RC cars is terrain/soil conditions ,that are destructive to our cars. Sandy/dusty/muddy conditions. I love how clean the ice seems to be.🤠
Spot on mate! It's slippery and tricky just like gravel, but you basically blast the car free of dirt as you go! 😃
*I usually apply some water dispersant spray before the run, to have it in all crevices. *Afterwards I give it a little shower to melt all the ice and snow fast, to keep it from adding more moisture during the otherwise slow melting process.
*I use air pressure to get the water off quicker. *Lastly you can prime with some water dispersant so that it's ready for the next run.
Ok there's a few steps, and I'm basically cleaning it between each run, but it's mainly to keep it from rusting.. 😁😉
Epic stuff, would love to see more, Well done
Thanks mate! 😊 Pls subscribe and have a look on my other videos 😉 They all share this common theme, I just try to find new locations or perfect old ones all the time. Cheers!
This is sooo coool... Shakehands !
Thanks mate! 😊
Yeah, it's such a great feeling going thru these corners 😀
So much better than a video game!
Thanks mate! 😊
I mean I really like the fact that it is real. I put the oil on the diffs, not just adjusted a slider a bit. It makes it a bit more special in a way 😄
The down side is that it makes is more difficult for ppl to xhallenge me on my "rally stages" 😅
wow really fun! great POV and circuit :)
Thanks mate! 😊
The track are the pathways around a miniature golf course. 😁
@@Weekend-Driver 🤣🤣🤣
More appealing and exciting than anything that’s happened in formula one……. Ever!!! 😋
Thanks mate! 😊 I can admit that it was even more eventful IRL... 😅
So slippery, I had at least one moment per lap.. But the corners I made, such a nice feeling! 😁
That's pretty cool!
Thanks mate! 😊
It's a really nice experience! I used analog FPV gear when making this video. I have since switched to dji digital FPV and it's even better! Digital has better image and far better signal penetration. Analog usually gets a bit worse reception when going behind bushes and stuff, but cheaper to try.. 🙂
@@Weekend-Driver - When I saw 'HPI', I recognized that name as RC so I had to check it out. '80s and '90s I had gas on and off road, electric on and off road. RC-10, HPI... Had a great time with all of that. Now, with all of the FPV gear, it seems really awesome. I race in the SCCA with a Spec Racer Ford.
Really niice video ! Great driving too!!
Thanks! 😊🙏
Skilled driving by any measure! 👍
Thanks mate! 😊 This was a challenge, for sure!.. 😅 The difference between the hotlap and the spin in the end of the vid, probably about a centimeter. Sooo slippery.. But fun! 😁
@@Weekend-Driver Since it was on video, I file that spin under, "I meant to do that!"
@@JoeOvercoat Totally, I mean the vid has to end some how, right? 😁
The first half of that lap was faster tho. Would have possibly been a new record 🙄
Wanna go back there and have a go with my dji setup, see what I can do... All of the southern parts are just throwing the car back and forth as I recall it. Over the hump bridge, past the rocks, thru the dip. Good fun! 😎
This looks like so much fun!😀
Yes! Driving in fpv is awesome! 😀 I just tested my digital goggles in snow conditions, it's amazing going sideways between the snow banks! 😎
after about 30 seconds I realised it was a model!It looks great!
Thanks! 😊🙏
I think it adds to the fun with the nice surroundings. And the fact that there's not only packed lanes together also means that the character of the road is a bit more natural. When looking at the map, it's basically a big triangle where the straights aren't completely straight. This creates a different driving experience compared to normal RC tracks. 😉
That’s pretty darn sick!🖖🏻
Thanks mate! 😊
Yeah, it's such an amazing feeling when managing to connect the corners and get a good flow going! 😃 I like all driving but this type of narrow roads are my favorite. More like full scale back roads! 😁
Better than video games !
Yeah! It's a bit more tricky to find the best conditions but when it's cold like this, the snow is light and doesn't build up in the car. Then it's really awesome! 😃
@@Weekend-Driver Amazing !!
@@frank8278 Truly is mate! Cheers 🙂
Awesome! Well done!
Thanks! 😊 It was so incredibly slippery but I was quite happy with the driving anyway. A few corners that just worked perfectly. Such a nice feeling! 😁
Nice video👌 I had my Savage out in the snow. Great fun.
Thanks mate! 😊
nice driving!
Thanks mate! 😊
Great video!!
Thanks! 😊
Great video 👍🏾
Thanks mate! 😊
Fantastico 👍💯
Thanks mate! 😊
Excellent
Thanks!😊🙏
Yeah I think it was a nice ending to the year this! 😃
This is brilliant! Ive been wanting to do the same to my crawlers!
Thanks!😊 Do it, it's great! 😉
I think @KPOPRC is doing such a build now, check his youtube and facebook and what not.
Also check @JIPPERR_RC who makes really nice stabilizing gimbals and puts in different builds.
I currently just mounted it solid in the car. It works good as long as the ground is rather smooth. But for crawling I think you might wanna have a look around you some more?
My analog setup:
ua-cam.com/video/iE9ssnUIbGs/v-deo.htmlsi=P1DWY2FPiBwrshIk
There's also this Facebook group: FPV RC Cars
Should be some more info on there if you want some more inspiration 😉😁
@@Weekend-Driver thanks man, I'd love to have head tracking but I have the goggles v2 not goggles 2 so they don't offer that unfortunately
@@Todd_Gerhardt I think @JIPPERR_RC also is on v1 or v2. I could be mistaken.. gonna try to find out 😉
Wow! That’s awesome!!!
Thanks! 😊
Yeah, there are some really amazing places I can drive with FPV! I've made a playlist with my top spots, check it out here:
ua-cam.com/play/PLauwAesgCcRt18QDAJZXoEULpuY8WznBi.html
I think this could really be a thing! 😃
Cool! Thanks I'll check these other videos out!@@Weekend-Driver
Thank you for watching! 😀
Best one🎉
Thanks! 😊
Hahaha, super super the Best, ever🥰
Thanks mate! 😊
great
Thanks! 😊
Cool
Thanks! 😊
This is mental!
Thanks mate! 😊
I know, this is a completely new way of experiencing my RC. I'm using goggles (sort of like VR) but I get live video sent from a camera mounted in the car. It's like playing a game really! 😀
That was Freaking Cool Video
Thanks! I'm so happy you liked it! 😊
Hoping for some nice conditions to go out driving in the snow this year as well. Currently it's raining tho.. 🙄
Nice Run!
Thanks! 😊🙏
This is so awesome! I’ve been wanting to do this for my xv01 for awhile now. Also, good driving. The Scandinavian flick was cool to see
Thanks mate! 😊
Yeah, I think this is so much fun. The feeling when making a couple of good corners is so amazing!
What's keeping you? 😉
@@Weekend-Driver I wanted to keep it simple for teardowns as the xv01 is a chore to do maintenance on. I think I’ll pick up a tt02 or another chassis to do the fpv setup. Do you mind me asking how much your setup cost?
@@Bad1flip Ahh, you might wanna take a look at this channel for a nice TT-02 FPV setup: @JIPPERR_RC
In this video I was still using my analog setup. I had my old fat shark goggles that I bought new as a kit with a video transmitter for 250 USD. I later bought a set of used analog box goggles for about 40 USD and also some used camera and video transmitters for another 40 USD. I bought my dji digital fpv system for about 450 USD and new that would have been around 1000 USD. so basically it ranges from 100 USD to 1000 USD. The main feature with the dji I'd say is the signal penetration. it's incredibly good. The analog has a lot of noise if there's some foliage and that's a common theme for the places I drive. Where as the main feature of the analog is that it's really cheap used and makes it less resistant to get started. Also check this video of mine where I have swapped to the digital gear, the in-car shows the exact live feed I see when driving: ua-cam.com/video/k1tW5kifeXY/v-deo.html
@@Weekend-Driver thank you for that detailed response! I figured, I priced out setups and was looking at 600-$1k. I’ll check out that channel. So I was inspired by this channel a couple of years ago by “Ji Hoon Jung” he has a few videos of him racing a buddy (both using fpv) with xv01s. It’s pretty cool, check it out when you have a chance. He even added eurobeat music from Initial D for his mini touge battles 😂
@@Bad1flip Ahh! I've seen them, I also think they're great! 😊
I'm so jealous he's got an opponent. I think it adds some action to have another car to chase. I went abroad to find a buddy to drive FPV with (and I found a bunch to be fair, but still). @mrcrally263 was running dji, I was on analog and you can see how I'm lacking confidence when I can't see... lots of bushes and trees to eat the signal 😅 ua-cam.com/video/3S5Ik89Q3Kc/v-deo.html
ナイスドライビング！
Thanks mate! 😊
That so cool bro
Thanks mate! 😊 Yeah, it's a lot of fun this. a bit dofferent to regular track driving 😁
Thank you for the awsome video. Gotta get my fpv trx4 charged up now. 😃
Thanks! 😊🙏
Do you have snow? I gotta have more snow.. 😄
No snow right now. It just melted. Supposed to get more on Sunday night. 😃. I need to print myself a set of tracks for it. Or make some snow chains.
@@RollnHeavyKevy But crawler tires should be soft enough to get some decent grip in snow or? Might sink if there's a lot coming tho
It does pretty good up to about 3 inches
@@RollnHeavyKevy might aswell start looking for those tracks, just in case... ;)
Nice vidéo 🤩 great driving👌
Thanks mate! 😊
I really enjoy driving with goggles. It feels almost real at some points and it makes it possible to drive these scale places 😃
Driving on a large area is easy... but when there are curbs and you have to stay inside the track, that's real driving... in any case you can manage very well. good and it’s beautiful to see 🤩
Hi,Very cool video!👍
Greetings Seven🖖
Thanks! 😊🙏
Amazing. I just need brakes and clutching on those to really bother.
I'd love a handbrake 😁👌
Super cool video! Since you are using FPV then you can time your laps with an IRC lap timer. I’m going to put FPV on my truggy right now thanks to you!😂👍🏽
Thanks mate! 😊
I'll have to google the IRC lap timer then 😉
I think it's super fu to drive like this. It requires the road surface to be quite smooth unless using some stabilizing device. Otherwise it's tricky to see things far ahead and prepare. Give ot a go and let me know how you find it! 🙂👌
와 진짜 WRC같네~~~ 멋지다
Thanks mate! 😊
The graphics are so realistic.
Thanks mate! 😊 I use a satelite image and draw the track map on top of so it should be fairly accurate :)
Nice video. I got one of the SNT R27 micro fpv cars and driving it slow still feels so fast. This must have been fun.
Thanks mate! 😊
Yeah, I think FPV is really fun. A game changer when it comes to places to drive for sure. I had maybe 2-3 places that I liked to drive line of sight. I probably have 20 that are possible within 1 hour radius and 5 that are really good 🙂
now i need a WR8 in my collection....
You sure do! Everyone does... 😉
Sick
Thanks! 😊
Sick🤣🤣
Thanks! 😊🙏
It was really tricky conditions to run on cut slicks. Had to be careful not to get stuck in the banks.. 😅
ULTIMATE
Thanks mate! 😊
Do you drive this course with virtual reality like camera on the car and headset or do you have a driver stand that is raised by helium, or is it way up in the top of a 250 year old fir tree. Camera view totally awesome, complete , ok totally "far out". If it is virtual what is the system you're using and how does it work.
I have half an acre, and just over a quarter acre is RC car track, well will be three built into one space.
@@user-et7yr3ft9v Yes! its like virtual reality. I'm using the same stuff drone pilots use but they usually refer to it as FPV (First Person View).
There are plenty of different systems out there. This vid I drove with analog FPV gear. I recently switched to dji digital fpv and its a huge difference in image quality and also signal penetration. The area close to the blue container was always giving me a noisy image. I could go, but it's much nicer and gives more confidence when the image is great all time.
I can recommend you to watch these two videos (If you like it you can also subscribe and watch all of them of course...)
In the first one, the in-car footage is the exact view that I'm driving with.
ua-cam.com/video/k1tW5kifeXY/v-deo.html
In the second one I show my analog FPV setup, under the body shell.
ua-cam.com/video/iE9ssnUIbGs/v-deo.html
@@user-et7yr3ft9v Great to hear! For this type of driving it's not required to have a wide road so you could squeeze it in among the other tracks! ;) My camera is mounted solid to the chassis so I refer smooth roads. I also know that you can put the camera on a gimbal to stabilize the view. Weighs a bit more but really increases visibility by a huge chunk! For bumpier tracks it's a real game-changer.
Check @JIPPERR_RC here on youtube for the gimbal stuff! :)
you gotta show high-def onboard with a gopro or something, the live feed is not good, and dont let the car do 600mph at scale...we still see in our speed even though we are in a drone so make it realistic. This is the ultimate setup you have here!!!
Thanks mate! 😊 I really think it's a nice setup and great driving experience. 🙂
The live feed was far worse then this, the runcam2 on the roof is only recording for the vid. I like it's shape, being flatter than a gopro. I've also seen the insta360 GO cameras being quite small and powerfull stab as well.
Since making this vid I've changed to digital goggles and they have a lot better signal penetration so I can see a lot better in even more places now! 😀
echt super 🎉, das will ich auch 😅
Thanks! This is a minigolf course where the pathways are making it a quite interesting lap. A lot different than most real RC tracks and also the sensation of driving FPV. I really like this type of driving as well. And it was incredibly slippery with slicks... 😅
Big sub from me man, loved this video!!
Thanks! 😊🙏
Happy to hear mate! 😃
Best RC car video ever seen, still wondering why there is no VR controlled RC car yet similar with the VR controlled drones. It appears RC cars are not following new technology trends..
Thanks mate!😊
Yeah, I can only say "I dunno" 😅
This is great in a lot of different ways, one is that I can make a quite interesting track in a relatively small area because the road doesn't have to be that wide. Might not be super easy all the times due to weather conditions but it's doable and it is exciting. Also you can find these "accidental" driving opportunities, like this track (an adventure golf course..) this would not have been possible to drive unless running behind, and I wouldn't dream of doing that in these slippery conditions with all huge rock to fall on. There are of course some adaptations that would make the FPV driving experience even better, like audio. No audio has got to be an optimization for drones. so there's work to be done. I just hope My and others vids can help demonstrate that to more people so that it can actually start happen...
Then I can write "Influencer" on my CV.. 😊😂
I used to love Radio Control Cars, but then I turned 13.
Oh, I'm sorry to hear mate!
I’d of crashed into everything 😂 cool vid
Thanks mate! 😊 For sure this was treacherous conditions! Really slippery, but then sometimes I get this flow when it just works and it's amazing! 😃
Very rewarding! 😁
Nice scale look to it.
Thanks!😊 I'm always looking for these scale style places. So much fun to drive when it looks like a bit like the real thing! 😀
really love your videos, id live to start with fpv on my slash , I was wondering if your picture is stabilized in post processing or its the raw quality ?
Thanks! 😊🙏
The slomotion shots are made with my phone. I suspect it has some sort of stabilization in it. All other cameras are without.
The runcam2 that I use to record the onboard footage has digital IS but I disable it because I don't wanna have the bonnet of the car moving around in the frame. I have tried digital IS, but I also don't like the reduced field of view.
The FPV camera also don't have any IS. I just screw it to the chassis with a 3D printed mount. This footage is only seen by me in the goggles, because I don't have any DVR to pull the feed to an SDcard.
I prefer to drive on smooth surfaces for multiple reasons. The car just handles more predictably and also easier to see. 😉
@@Weekend-Driver ok thx but i was thinking of the fpv view, its awesome if its really without stabilization other than the camera, i think i might try your setup
Ahh, right.
Yeah I just mounted it as rigidly to the chassis as I could. I have a video showing the chassis here :)
ua-cam.com/video/iE9ssnUIbGs/v-deo.html
Dude this is actually sick idk ima about to check so dont correct me if he did bc ima check rn but it would be sick if you did on of these but with like a udr in the desert
Thanks! 😊 I don't have easy access to a desert around here tho nor do I have a udr. Gonna have to figure something out 😁
I am trying to build an FPV (but on a screen not with goggles), what is your exact setup? What transmitter did you use? I'm a complete newb so I have no idea where to start. Was looking into dji o3 air but apparently they don't sell just a receiver to plug into a screen. Any help would be really welcomed.
Most my vids were done with an analog setup. I usually put it in the video description if you wanna know about a certain vid. I've had my fatshark attitude goggels in 90+% of the vids. Most recently before the switch to digital I used a Foxeer Falkor camera and an ImmersionRC 60mW vtx. Lately I did switch to dji fpv v1 goggles and a Caddx Vista / Nebula pro combo and it's a lot better image quality. Dji really has the best penetration and that helps a lot. Some places wasn't possible to drive well with my analog setup. Maybe updating that to some modern analog gear would have been good too but it would have probably been a similar price tag as this used digital gear I got instead.
You should have a look at the FPV RC Cars fb-group:
facebook.com/groups/306329973035092/
I'm not that good at how to get a screen connected, I know I can mirror the goggles screens with a USB-c to USB-c cable and some app, but that means getting the goggles which are quite costly, so there might be better options. Also if you don't need the penetration of digital, you can achieve a lot on good analog as well I think. But on most places I drove with analog, there were always one or two corners where there was some tree or something making the signal go bad and there would be some taking chances... 😅
@@Weekend-Driver Yeh I am interested in the better image quality of digital, but I'm trying to dodge having to buy the goggles which are seriously expensive and headache inducing. I like that dji o3 air unit comes all in one package and apparently its very high quality, and I found some cheap second hand DJI N1 Controller, but I don't know if they work together. Also, I don't even know what power source to use for the DJI o3 air unit. All I know is that I want to keep it separate from the RC battery. 😥
@@k9px Usually in the drones they power off the same battery so I'm thinking theres a wide range of input voltages. Try google "dji o3 input voltage" and they might state it in number of lipo cells. I'm powering mine off the 2s battery of the car. I just soldered on a second connector on the esc power leads, via the good ol' fatshark filter board (basically a capacitor) to the vtx. I like to have it like that, so that I get the lipo cut off feature of the esc and so far I haven't really noticed any problem with it. :)
fun
It's a great experience driving these narrow roads. Something happens all the time, small corrections, elevation changes, but also it's easier to find straight lines thru less severe turns. I love it! 😀
This is excellent! Great job! What an incredible course.
Are you using a gyro? I imagine that for FPV you want a very stable-handling car. Your WR8 looks very comfortable with the tail out. A twitch, unstable car seems like it would be much more difficult to drive FPV vs 'normal'.
Thanks mate! 😊 It's not my course, it's the pathways at a miniture golf course. I only spotted the opportunity.. 😉
No gyro. I have changed the springs to make the front end a bit stiffer compared to the rear. I run heavier weight oil in the front diff than the rear. I also changed the center diff to make it a bit more like an FWD. I have made a video about it, not as much action as this one but a bunch of information in it. Here's a link for reference:

Front drive/brake boas will make it go really straight. I have to throw it in a bit aggressively to get the rear out. Fepending on how much the bias is offset, it'll be easier to get the rear back in line or it will stay out. You just gotta match a nice speed to the corner and it's really beautiful! 😁
This was on the 109747 gymkhana tires, it was really slippery and I had a lot of visits in the banks.. 😅
But yeah, I agree that an inconsistent snd nervous car would be more difficult to drive. But I like them calm also when driving line of sight 🙂
At least you won't have any overheating problems...😁😁😁
That's what I thought too.. 😅 We had -10°C last weekend so I was worried about it freezing and removed the fan. I figured the cold air would do the trick but that didn't work. I got the overheating warning. I have it in a housing so that's probably not helping but still. but yeah, as long as the fan is on it seems to work just fine 😉
@@Weekend-Driver I have RC boats and have been wondering why someone doesn't create a water cooled system on a car by using a tiny radiator and water cooled marine ESC and motor cooling jacket. 🤔
Cool concept!!! I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone do this yet with how long FPV has been used with drones and planes. I'm sure vibration is an issue.
Thanks! 😊
Yeah, I think it's so much fun, I'm also surprised it hasn't quite taken off yet. I think there are some adaptations needed like getting live sound and/or maybe augmenting stuff on the screen like a rev counter for instance. Vibrations can be an issue, but it depends a lot on the surface really, this is smooth paving stones and just a thin layer of snow/ice so it's super slippery, but not that much vibrations. I also like tarmac in the summer for that reason. Here's a link to a vid when I'm on gravel. The in-car footage is my actual driving view and you can see it's a bit bumpy.. But it was still super nice!😄

That was very cool! Are you driving FPV? Or line of sight?
I almost exclusively drive FPV these days. It's not possible to see these tracks from a single vantage point and it's easier keeping the car ln a narrow road with FPV. I add [FPV driving] to the title of the video when driving with goggles. It's such a nice feeling seeing thru the windscreen and it enables driving in so many nice places 😀
Did you check my playlist of top spots? All FPV..
Here's a link:

Great driving and footage! Would you mind sharing your FPV set up? Would love to give FPV driving a shot
I run an analog system. Fatshark attitude goggles with maybe 480x640 resolution. The camera is a foxeer falkor and the vtx is an immersionRC 600mW.
I have a video that shows how I mounted stuff in the car 🙂
Here's a link for it:

@@Weekend-Driver thank you for the info! Would love to give that a go
Yeah, it's a really nice sub-genre of RC. A whole new experience. For me, it offered a lot more places to drive than conventional 😀
@@Weekend-Driver what’s the range of the FPV system? How far can you drive before the signal drops?
@@rideanddrive4513 It depends greatly on the environment. It can sometimes be the controller range that cuts out first but the goggles are more sensitive to bushes and stuff. Gaining altitude is always nice for any signal.
Here's alink to a little range test:
ua-cam.com/video/60uTAFuhlFc/v-deo.html
There was a small hill just above the 'r' in car. This meant that I couldn't controll the car, but I still had the feed in the goggles alright. goggle antenna is on my head whereas controller is held normally so roughly 0,5m lower. To be able to drive that course, I had to relocate to a hill outside the image up in the left corner. Due to a tree I still had some glitching at one point of the lap, but this made it drivable.
Here's a link to the driving video from that location:

Great driving around that course! …..I don’t understand how you can see the car all areas of the track from where you were standing ?
Thanks mate! 😊
I'm glad you asked! That's my thing, I have a live camera and goggles, same as is used for drones. This means I can drive the car as if I was sitting in it! I think it's a really great experience!😁
FPV - First Person View, just like in the video games. More or less all content I have posted over the past 3 years would not have been possible without it. A couple of months back I swapped to digital system with great image quality.

The images you see from inside the car in this vid is exactly what I saw when I was driving it 😀
Here's a video that shows the camera stuff (and more...) on the chassis if you wanna have a look :)

amazing vid im looking into a rc car like this do you recommend this as a starter
Hmm, first of all I think this car is amazing. When I first got it I was very impressed by the speed, suspension, looks and quality. At that time I already had some experience driving RC since I was a kid and compared to what I remembered about those cars, this was far better. If you're starting from scratch now, you need to anticipate som crashing and consider spare parts availability. If you have a way of sourcing those I don't see a problem. I'd consider the plastic steering knuckles and the way the front body posts are mounted (very close to the edge of the bumper holder) as weakpoints. I've made some reinforcements there. The steering can be filled with snow and there are some optimizations that can be made. I tend to do stuff with any car I drive but I think this is very capable out of the box. Plenty of other people also really like these cars. If you like the scale looks combined with good performance and the rally type of cars, you'll probably have a lot of fun with this 😉
If you need any more tips and tricks, just let me know 🙂
put the camera on a swivel and link it to the steering rods so it turns correctly, you will always turn your head when sliding sideways
I don't think the steering rod will be the best solution, I think more like a gyro with a separate servo for the camera or a camera gimbal. The thing is I only look thru the windscreen because the side windows aren't transparent enough and I already see all of the windscreen without turning the cam. I just try to move my eyes instead. I'll link the onboard from my digital dji setup, this is what I see when driving and being on gravel it's gonna be even faster. When seen from the outside I don't think it looks so overly fast?

How cool is that track!? 😁
I know! 😊 Funny thing, it's not even an RC track. It's pathways of a miniature golf course 😅
I think about 1 m wide, great for scale driving! 😁
Which battery do you use?
I run 2S Turnigy nanotech 6000mAh, previously I ran Zippy 5900mAh 60C but they are a bit older so I mostly use those to power the goggles these days. I like to downsize batteries and tracks. There is absolutely no need for 3S in these conditions and it also gives longer service life to the drivetrain. Win-win! 😉
👍️👍️👍️
Thanks! 😊
Is it the adventure golf course in Norrköping you are driving on? Nice rally course.
Yup! It is! 😊 I think it's a really nice little scale rally track! 😁
Enabled by driving with FPV goggles, it's such a great experience! 😉
awesome video! What's your best lap time?
Thanks mate! 😊
This was the best lap time in winter conditions. I haven't been there this winter. I do have a fasternlap recorded during late summer. Here's a link :)

the speed in the vid does not seem ludicris, do you have it turned down? Or is that just the speed you can do on snow...running the snow conditions on older Gran Turismo game right now...cant beleive how fast you can go on snow/dirt
Yeah, this is the speed I can do with the cut slicks on the snowy road. But getting more grip than this, it would start to go too fast for scale I think. So while it's a bit annoying, I still don't wanna change too much. A bit more grip would add consistency perhaps. I could use a bit more of that in these conditions. The feeling when it works is great but just a little touch in the bank changes the path a whole lot... 😅
Can you buy the group B Audi S1? That would be great to have too. Saw those rallying up close in Wales in the 80s. 😍
I'm not sure I've seen them available for this scale. I saw a little business in gernany that made them for the landmax chassis but that's a larger chassis. If I go to a 10th scale, it's gonna be more difficult to get the FPV gear in and the only shells I've seen are a bit not so great in the shape. Do you know of a where place where I could buy them?
@@Weekend-Driver No, i dont. I would just like to have a group b Audi to build and display. My fav car! :)
I had a hard time distinguishing whether this was a real rally car, a go-kart, an RC car, or a hotwheels car. lol
A gokart? and I was actually sat inside there? 😅 I'm sure that would be a lot of fun too! 😄
