@mrjato69 you can use plane remotes with cars its probly better because you have more channels to play with i would just buy the remote and ignore the shop keeper just plug the servo into ch4 (rudder) and speed controler in ch 3 (throttle) anyways have fun

hey, awesome video, and same as you after watching wobbys video i wanted to do the same! i purchesed my summit about 3-4 weeks ago and i just got a fat shark fpv kit. unfurtionatly now my truck wont go no further then about 15-20 ft from me before loosing signal. what is going on!?!?!? lol this really isnt how i pictured it going. i have been looking into new controllers like your futaba but my local hobby shop said i couldnt use it for rc car that they are programed for plane, can you help me!?

@HariEdo What set up do youy use for FPV with your Gopro HD ?
-
@HariEdo I have the original 27Mhz radio, which wobby in his blog says should get good range if you extend the receiver antenna with brass tubing; I may try that out first (before using my 6 ch Futaba 72Mhz system).
How are those new tires/wheels working for you? Love the black color on them. Any more bounce/flopping at high speed? I need new ones anyway, tore one of the stock tires on a piece of 16g wire hidden underneath some branches/leaves...go figure.

Amazing interior (at least what shows on the camera!) Did you craft it yourself or reuse a dashboard for touring cars/4x4 scalers etc? Looks good matched with the body's paint. Next step, perhaps working steering wheel and gear shift knob tied to diffs or 2-speed? Hah!

Takin credibility? I think so...
Hey man, you have done an amazing work on that Summit. Has been a real pleasure to enjoy the ride inside the truck. How long is the range with your Futaba control?

@jazzmannola
Thanks! The 2.4GHz control is not really suitable for very long distances. However, right now it is reaching farther than the video transmitter (due to vibrations causing signal interruptions). I can safely drive about 400 feet with no control dropouts on the Traxxas 2.4GHz, but farther than that on Futaba FASST. I haven't tested for maximum range on the FASST yet... need someone to rescue the truck when I call them on the phone!
