[ra3y69VTC]

lsn i hve some Q's for u , can u add me on msn ks_s@live.com , thanx (y)

[SuperAsian360]

how much did all this cost?



[GTiR23]

I absolutely love this video!

I always hated the idea of feeling restricted with RC to the range of the transmitter, but with this system, it's like a whole world of freedom, quite an inspirational vid for me actually.

Thanks for sharing

go infected mushroom ;)

[Patr0cur]

what's the song?

[shrekomus]

1/10 scale!!!!!

Dear God

[shrekomus]

Great vid!

I've been messing around with rc cars for a long-time.

I can't figure out how you get the live video signal, it must be a ton of equipment.

Great job man!!!!!!

[melbournaut]

I love infected mushroom =)

i use endurance over weight in the batteries

these are nimh cells doubled at 4000 7.2 x2

around a 1 hour ride at 75 percent, and a 9 volt tandrin for the transmitter battery pack which lasts quite a while, it's not easy getting the equipment

but if you look on ebay and piece together your stuff and ask questions from ppl who do it

[DarkLink8759]

whoa..... this is what i attempt to buy soon...

but, where can i get the transmitter, car, and other stuff at!?

cuz this is pretty awesome! i always wanted an R/C car that can go 5 miles away plus fast and even with a camera! i need help finding all i need... it would be awesome for me cuz i could like do so many stuff and stay inside the house!

[sir468jordan]

hey uno as where u sed this electric car can reach up to 41+

how doos ur battery make the car go so fast and soo long

mine dont ride for like 20 mins or so

[5PYZ3R]

@sir468jordan

Rofl. This isn't some radioshack xmod or something from the toystore. This is a hobbie-grade RC. It might be a cheap one, but it's still hobbie grade. The battery doesn't determine speed either(not necissarily), the motor does.

They even have gas powered RC's too. The Traxxas Jato 3.3 can go 0-60mph in less than 5 seconds. Traxxas E-Maxx is an electric truck that can do 50+mph.

[tarrasque420]

phat

[Fr0z3nFr0g]

i always thought about doing this haha. i didnt know of any wireless video cameras small enough and with a long enough range to do it though.

[Bottenhond]

omfg:O

what transmitter and receiver do you use

btw is that a live cam?So you can watch live on a screen?

[sidewind69]

41mph+

[Silvertreds13]

how fast cause my brother can get his to about 60mph

[sidewind69]

yea i plan on doing another one soon, once i get the funds for a bigger more powerfull car. this one was some tiny 1:10 unmodified 'lectric i got one bay , i mean it's LOW to the ground surprised it lasted that long

[flashback1234]

cool I wish the camera was higher so it had more view.

[ineleganttheory]

come to think of it you could gps track its speed and location with this setup also, hmmm

[ineleganttheory]

Seems like this can be done with a long range transmitter and a el cheapo cell phone running something like windows mobile with video streaming software or vnc hooked to a computer and on the ev-do network or other high speed network to stream the video to a laptop, that way you can monitor and record the vid from your computer while at the sametime likely recording it from the phone also, try looking into a ppc6700, you can catch them on ebay for about 100 dollars or so , just a suggestion.

[bernidani]

what is this cam you use?

and recever?

[Nubbins]

This is so friggin cool!

[dustybikeeeeeeeer]

dude please do a vid of your setup because its awesome and i want to try :-)

[golfingjbaby]

pothole = death

[jackass18241]

That videos sick. I'd love to do an on-board camera with my car but the only thing i got to strap in my camcorder are a shit load of rubber bands.

[TXTCLA55]

you should by a security camera that can run off a 9 volt battery, ,then you can just glue or screw it into place...i'd go with both.

[jackass18241]

okay thanks heaps. i'll try that.

[AvengerIl]

dude, ur radio can transmit video too?? for 5 miles? wow... i really wanna do the same with my helicopter, fly it remotely too... any suggestions for a camera system? i can transmit more than 10-20 meters at the moment :(

[TXTCLA55]

your gonna wat to go to a radio shack and buy a small security camera that runs on a 9 volt camera, normally they can transmit from about 50meters or less.

[AvengerIl]

yeah i have one.. but range is really a drwa back... less than 10 meters... would be nice to boost that somehow..any ideas?

[TXTCLA55]

you could try getting a longer antenna. or a better transmeter abd reciver , however those tend to cost alot unless you can find a second hand one...i am not shure if you understand but i hope i helped.

[keeponshooting]

Nice work, man! Hey, did you modify the transmitters/receivers (both for control and video) to get such range or do you just have powerful transmitters/receivers? thx

[ethen24]

How many miles did it go?

[22crunkmonkey22]

Pretty cool video, although the car looked like it could've been faster, but in those conditions, may have been harder to drive. Yeah, any hobby style high end radio will give you that kind of range. The radio I use is an Airtronics M11 and paid about $350 for it with good servos and Spektrum sys..

[mithy2]

wow dude u have some money to waste one thing to say for that GOOD FOR YOU :):D:):D

[ellhow]

who needs computer games....you rule

[ajlovering12345]

Hi

Where did you get the high range transmiter? I am looking for one. Contact me ziggy12345(at)waitrose(dot)com­

[10698]

hey I advice U use Futaba 3Pk it's a nice transmitter

[daystar]

hahahaha very cool! loved the video thanks

[specialkvi]

Really, really cool sidewind69. I also like the music selection too (Infected Mushroom - I love their music). Good music/video sync. :-)
