Put an FPV system into your RC Crawler or RC excavator to utterly transform your driving experience! It's as simple as adding a camera and video transmitter (aka. VTX) - feeding the VTX typically 3.3v to 5v via a BEC - and then receiving the video feed in a pair of radio-receiver-goggles (simply, 'FPV Goggles'). Then, just drive as usual - but enjoy the immense change in perspective! It's a lot of fun! If you have $100 burning a hole in your pocket, this is a great way to squeeze more fun out of the hobby in short order. Spice it up driving with friends, set up some goals or some kind of time trial and you'll have a blast, I guarantee it.

The camera needs 3v to 5v, so you could connect it directly to a 1S LiPO battery or you could feed it 3.3v from this BEC, connected to your model's receiver (at 4.5V to 7V - or find a beefier unit that converts from higher voltage; just look for '3.3v BEC'): https://www.banggood.com/custlink/mGmy4rVOkT And that's it! You can get better picture if you separate the camera and the VTX, which is what I did in the SCX24.

Always fly/drive with common sense. Obey the local laws of the area in which you're operating. Be aware of people, cars, animals, other hazards around you. - Chapters: 0:00 Intro 0:13 SCX24 Mods 0:33 SCX24 FPV Drive 3:20 Huina FPV Excavator! 7:11 Gear Overview 7:45 FPV Plus Crawler -- Recommended Huina seller: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Ak6wx6 $20 Off Coupon Code for AliExpress (any purchase): https://a.aliexpress.com/_mr8gIyP Affiliate links help the channel grow if you use them (thanks!) -- Follow us: Twitter @rctrailandtech and on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rctrailandtech/ #rccrawling, #rcreview, #rccrawlers, #huina, #fpvrc -- Got a few spare dollars left after that latest upgrade or rig build?

The Traxxas Bandit XL5 buggy is a brilliant little performer out of the box. It's also the cheapest 1/10 scale car Traxxas sells. It's a well-aged platform at this point and while there have been changes over its 30 years of production, it's still essentially the same machine as always. We know its cheap and we know its fun. But can it be a bit peppier on the track and give us some better battery life? A modest brushless system upgrade could help with that, you'd think... Let's test! -- WHAT WE INSTALLED: MOTOR: Surpass Hobby 3660 3100kv Brushless ESC: Hobbywing 10BL60 Sensored 60A PINION: Hobbywing 21T 5MM 48P Steel Pinion Gear (P/N: 30820201) WHERE TO GET IT: Motor - this one has been discontinued! I must have bought the last one, sorry everyone!! Any 3650 to 3670 size should be fine. Doesn't have to be sensored - ours isn't. Aim for a 3000 to 3600kv 3650 to 3670 size and you'll be set. ESC: https://www.hobbywing.com/goods.php?id=353 An alternative: https://www.hobbywing.com/goods.php?id=355 Motor & ESC Systems - get the 3300kv, not the 2600kv option: https://www.banggood.com/custlink/mGvJtIu85l Or this, when the 3300kv option is in stock: https://www.banggood.com/custlink/GGKJtI18tQ Pinion: https://www.amainhobbies.com/robinson-racing-48p-machined-pinion-gear-5mm-bore-21t-rrp2021/p454470?v=218933 If you want to do this yourself, you could absolutely put a bigger pinion on the motor to get more speed. The motor is hardly working with a 21t pinion gear here - I wanted it like that, but a 24 or 25 tooth pinion would give you speed and still keep motor temps from getting too bad. If you have a higher kv motor than about 3500kv, keep the pinion under 23 teeth for heat and current management. READ MORE: In our full write-up, we discuss lineage and detail of the current buggy.

The JD Models 1:14 Zetros 6x6 truck is clearly designed with heavy hauling in mind. The model hauler's drivetrain is heavy-duty and apart from a minor issue with my review unit's rear drive-shaft, the entire rig just screams "LOAD ME HEAVY!". From epic rear leaf stacks to 8 high-rigidity rubber tires in the rear, this Benz 6x6 truck is purpose built to haul the heaviest scale loads you have. RC4WD lists this vehicle as the JD Customs Sledge Hammer, but whether it's JDC or JDM, this big Benz is the new go-to for heavy scale loads. I'm looking forward to hitching this RC Mercedes Benz Zetros to the Cross RC T247 and hauling some of the heavier RC construction machinery around my trails on the property here. I expect this burly RC Benz rig will get the job done. ** Correction: I said it was a 5-slot motor. It's actually a 3-slot; just your standard, cheap, rebuildable 45T 540 brushed motor.
