That was awesome. It seems that FPV on an RC car is getting more and more popular. This spring I'm hoping to set one of my RCs up for FPV. It looks like something that would be a ton of fun.

I've got an fpv setup on a quad that would be pretty easy to put on one of my cars, will probably try it out pretty soon. 8)

My buddy has an fpv setup that we used on his T3 a little bit, but because it's a 2.4ghz setup, it didn't like being on my P4de. As soon as I turned on my controller, we lost the video feed. Hobbyking has a 5.8 setup that's complete with the goggles for about $100 that's looking pretty appealing. I think that's what I want to start with this spring to see if I like it. If it works well, I'd like to equip 2 cars with it so that my dad and I, and maybe my son and I can race against each other in FPV. :)

that's the setup I've got. I wanted to try fpv on a quad, and figured for a hundred bux I coudn't go wrong.
