For the longest range possible with any RC Car or RC Boat you simply need the ELRS version of the Radiomaster MT12 Surface radio.

It's about time they came out with one like this. Think it will do very well. Especially for those of us that like to do FPV on RC cars. You can go so far, it makes driving a RC truck a whole different ballgame.

Now I have to say this is all kindergarten grade easy and I think you are thinking about it way to much and making it crazy complicated for yourself. Get yourself a digital camera unit, either DJi, RunCam or CADDX, and have a look at the board… you’ll see a spot for power, positive & negative. Just check the min/max voltage requirements so that you don’t hook up too much voltage. Also don’t use a DJI O3 Air unit because it is designed to stay in low power mode. Give it a try and you’ll have no issue.

As for video signal, max would be almost two miles unobstructed. “Unobstructed” means no hills, trees, rocks, bushes, trees, people, animals, buildings, cars, wifi, Bluetooth, etc between the RC car and remote. This is impossible unless you are on the Salt Flats.

Head tracking is something you add to any RC product and has little to do with the remote

@user-id7be2nj9o 2 ай бұрын

from my plane experience: head tracking will require 1 or 2 servos on a camera pan/tilt mechanism. the pan/tilt servos are controlled via the head tracker unit, into the Tx, thru the Rx, and would require 1 or 2 extra channels on the Rx (cap'n drone said the Rx had 3 channels - all for vehicle control). The pan/tilt servos are driven from the/an Rx. it would be possible to have another Tx/Rx pair for the HT/pan-tilt setup, but that means another radio/link. So, does the Tx have a "DSC" or "trainer" port/link for a HT unit? don't know, but the Rx seems to lack channels.
