you rock that was so much fun to watch

The racing FPV videos posted here inspired this idea: what about paintball FPV with these trucks?

I'm up for it if anyone in or around Atlanta wants to do it also

Simple rules: Start out on different sides of the game area then seek and destroy

Sounds fun?

WIP on version 3 of my FPV setup. Everything is good fit wise, just gotta put them both together now.

- box holds GoPro (on GetFPV gel bobbins), 800/1500mW 1.3g transmitter and 1300mah 3S battery. BEC 12v as needed.
- 1.3g blubeam, protected by a very well sized bowl (keeps the water out and protects from rolls)
- lights to be mounted as well
- held in place by two battery tie downs (screwed in with bowl top) and Velcro under to match with box to help with stability)

Nice bit of design work, a very neat answer to the camera/VTx/antenna assembly, and should give great protection. Good job, I can't wait to see your videos from the setup.

Thanks, it's a side step while I work on getting my Tonka ready, which finally came in yesterday after a long stop in NY.

looks water proof

trailer mod for me. can shoot rockets if i want now

Here is a short video of our fun we had last month up in the Mountains with our Summits
First part is my set up in my truck and my ground station

FPV Fun Summit Style (5 min 37 sec)

Summit Distance Run (12 min 41 sec)

good stuff got any more

I set my own, much less impressive record today: 285m (about 935ft). The only thing stopping me going further was ... running out of park to run it in.

The problem with using a Rustler as a base is that it gets stuck if there's more than 4cm tall grass. This vastly limits where I can run it.
Time to go hunting for a new vehicle. Unfortunately, as many have said before: 'The summit is so expensive.' But it is an incomparable vehicle. Maybe I'll give myself a christmas present, or are there any other chassis that people would recommend?

Craigslist is where i got mine 250-300 bucks.
i need a better bec what are you guys using?

quick run today

RR (2 min 58 sec)

Unfortunately our local craigslist has a grand total of 37 listings, none of which are RC, well, anything....

Do you plan to protect the Vtx antenna on the Tonka with the same method?

That is one really good run, incredible distance and very good video link throughout.
