I got ya well as you said before you could try and change the springs for softer ones. I would do that if I would be you, but don't make them to soft, it wont be too good either. typicalaimster: No I would never do that lol With that we get range that is huge :P Just finished my new car few minutes ago. it fits in the palms of my hands It is super! I couldn't wait and as soon as I finished I took it for a spin in the house. IT WAS AWASOME! I loved it! I was racing all over the house. I love it! I will take some pics tommorow and describe it more. Its late i'm going to sleep. Damian |

You guys are sooo gonna hate me for this... but I couldn't resist.... in case you have problems with your heart and you are an FPV flyer - DO NOT watch the below video. Not because of the content - because of the setup!!!!
Unfortunetly it was already dark by the time I completed the truck - so you get a night video. I had to strap a flashlight on the top of the truck to see ahead. Lucky the camera is also high sensitivity - when there is not enough light - it switches to black and white mode. The video was recorded with the PV-500 at medium - 640x480 resolution, then edited by me. The uploaded version is mpg. I'll answer the rest of the questons after - if there are any.... Enjoy:

Cool. FPV truck with OSD! Suggestion though... heat shrink your camera. I was getting a lot of debris in my car. It would not be good to have stuff rubbing on the bare board.

Gee, looks like i need to show you guys what a real truck looks like! I'm going to have to find a 40mhz radio for my LST2, since my friends and i use Spectrum's and Nomadios'. I guess i could try using airplane gear in it XD.
I'll see about getting some video in the next month or so. Gotta work out how to get the camera mounted to the rollbar securely, and the transmitter. Will need to sustain 100g's or so See videos below:
only the first half is worth watching
Video's edited by my friend Glenn, camera work by myself and friend Nick. I think the biggest problem is going to be combating dust on the lense, at this time if year you tend to generate MASSIVE clouds of dust and your car quickly becomes white. Gravel and such getting sprayed through the car may get to be a problem, i'm not sure the components on our OSD's could withstand the Gforces so i dont think we can put that in, the GPS would have a fit in any case lol. Our cars are LST2's, heavily upgraded to be able to shrug off the abuse we give them. Engines in them are upgraded to the top of the line, all of us have modded engines for extra fuel efficiency and power. These 7-8kg trucks go 120km/h. 0-100km/h in about 2.5 seconds on grass - slower on gravel/roads because of massive wheel spin. |

very cool Damian
an r/c car is very cool to ride around and it's challenging to make, it's harder than a plane because it's smaller, and you must find a solution for backup, lightning etc. you can add infrared lightning on your r/c car and drive it in total darkness, no one see the car, but you will have clear picture in the goggle or tv like standard illumination. To try infrared illumination, try first by pointing any tv remote directly in the lens of the r/c car camera, you will see it blimp in the goggle. beam the remote in front of the car on the wall, you should see the wall lightning (in the dark of course). You can buy infrared led alone at radio scrap or local electronic store, you plug them in series, they work at around 2.5 volt, so you plug 3 in series for 7.5V aprox.(positive with negative pins). you can install a lot. My night vision car project: http://pages.videotron.com/vrflyer/angnight.html this webpage is old, I build this r/c car car 10 years ago. This car project lead me to flying r/c plane with camera and it evolve in the creation of this forum to help peoples create their own FPV project. |

Imagine this. You are under a car and you see someone walk down the street. You move from under one car to another in total darkness When the person will hear your car they will stop and look. There is nothing there! Then you continue to folow them and you start speaking with a scary voice from under the car. They will look and when thaty won't find anything they might be frightened. Also if they will duck to see if there is something under the car you could shoot out from under the car and run away at 20++ mph That would be cool, I might consider this Damian (little evil) lol |
