Hi dad

10/10 IGN

Hey Linus, I am ur big fan. Ur vids r really helpful. I am Daniel from India, I live in the UK Hi from England.✋✋✋

yeet

How did you screw up copy and pasting a link into the description??

This comment needs to be seen by them. Sadly judging by how far back the Twitter post about it was (few weeks ago), this is probably quite a late video, with everything already done.

if he does First Person View Arctic Hobby Land Rider 503 RC Firetruck Racing next he may just peak again

just scroll down to see this comment

It's not his most viewed video, why is this a top comment.

Darthmufin it was

Emre Sağır i was thinking the same thing lmao

I'm not, it looks like they did a ton of research ahead of time and found some good guides from people that already trial and error'd this. If they did this from scratch with only a rough idea of what they wanted to do they would have taken much longer.

unlike JayzTwoCents

I second this comment.

something similiar look up video Driving my rc car at night in instanbul traffic

@79Zhyr there is one now but with Mario cart posted a few hours ago

We tried it with a mix of pre-built and DIY stuff. I really recommend you give it a go :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ma6bYJVnlr7Gmqs.html

Where is follow up :(?

In this instance, this means many ppl that aren't even gamers buying their equipment. Its basically free customers, this also 150% voids warranty so yeah they probably don't mind

@@whmlprod upgrades people upgrades

those steering wheels are old and pretty shitty. no force feedback, 180 degrees, and meant for ps3. they didn't mind at all clearing some place up in the warehouse.

they even sent it to them for free to "tinker" with lol

@@costerowywot So you want force feedback in RC car?

I am associated user they need to put brushlees motor in it lol, but they will have to drop the VR more than likely.

@@patrickmcdonnell8835, associated here to 😁 still with my Sc5m

@@patrickmcdonnell8835 What does installing a brushless motor have to do with VR? People fly drones at 60-100 mph using 360° goggles.

Hahaha... ive bashed the hell outta all my slashes and have NEVER broken a caster block. They arent even building a brushless system on lipo dude. They will be fine. Edit: ok so they ised lipo. But its still slow af haaha.

@@xenonram Random people at an event that will probably break shit, plus those cars can do serious shin/ankle damage

with rocket league now owned by epic id consider buying it

RC VR Rocket League, your comment needs to be pinned/highlighted! Would be awesome!

Except there's no rocket thrusters that makes the car fly. We're gonna need a little help from Elon there.

Lélahel Hideux im sure he would be down

Exactly!

Something like this kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9R1ZrV_y8WXo2Q.html but, with a follow me drone. something about walking while seeing yourself in 3rd person is terrible to get used to you have no real reference to where your feet are going and even though you probably don't notice it you look at the ground in front of you with every step you take.

search corridor they have done real life gta and other super fun stuffs.

Sam Mi VR, in game webcam, damn they noob HARD!!

Maybe that will happen next year!

@@anything.everything that's not the same as a drone that follows you on its own.

"who's that"

Yeah, this is the only criticism I can basically come up with for Linus. He mentions the "I pay for the stuff" way too much in his videos. However I think he should realize that it's the combined effort that pays for stuff, even though maybe it's still his signature on the checks. I have run into this behaviour before in some psycho who thought he was god until he landed in jail due to st00pidity.

I hardly game any more since I got into FPV years ago

DJI OcuSync might be expensive, heavy and relatively high latency, but it provides an HD link! And in the case of RC car racing, i would argue that this is potentially a good trade-off. Latency is low enough, weight doesnt really matter and if the price can be paid...why not? Most visitors at LTX probably have no clue about FPV systems and would be disappointed with standard quality.

Oh dear god. Hopefully linus doesn't discover and make fpv mainstream.... A bunch of people will flood the scene and more rules will make it impossible to fly!!! Edit: people keep correcting me and I should have said "more mainstream that it already is" Im just worried that since linus's audience is mostly younger kids, people are gonna start doing more dumb stuff and we will be forced to stay on AMA fields.

@@Christheawsome3 Lol as if fpv wasn't mainstream yet. Or at least "drones" in general (which always have some sort of video downlink so can be considered fpv.) 4-5 years ago when the racing scene started out that was an edgy little niche in RC sports but now? Just look at all the hipster pseudo cool fpv youtubers annoying the shit out of everyone ;)

@@Christheawsome3 Lol that's already happened

yeah you didn't steal that from further down did you...xD

daemn42 ...if he had just look on bang good or geatbest for a drone fpv set up he could have done 3d glasses with 3d cameras and bought servos and more batteries for overpriced dji products that record every flight you make and are locked down more than an apple product.....

@@melgibson6331 no, I'm glad he went with a digital system. Analog video world have crushed everyone else. Just saying there isn't going to be any free bandwidth on either band.

@@gianlucagasparis4506 Jump on R1 and blast 800mw XD Knock out local wifi signals

@@gianlucagasparis4506When I do test flights around my house it pisses off my neighbors. I sort of like the power hehe

@@gianlucagasparis4506 There are non-legal analog channels low on the "5.8"Ghz band (like E4 5645Mhz), but DJI Occusync will likely have 100% overlap with regular 2.4Ghz and 5.8Ghz Wifi transmissions.

BIG OOF

Linus hire this man now

Calm down man, the roast was last week!

LTT hiring some people with circuit design / microcontroller programming experience to create DIY electronics content would be _fantastic_

They should hire Michael Reeves.

@David meh. lol

lol I was thinking the same thing, been strapping wireless cameras to RC plane, tanks, cars, quads, etc for years. I almost died at the part where they said we "don't want it to be too fast so we won't vomit",

Me too man 😂

I watchin since the beginning of the his channel... Aaron is a nice guy and should be invaded to LTT

I've been harassing Bardwell to get with them as well. They need to reach out to the actual cornerstones of the hobby instead of just drudging through forums.

@@chrismawson4430 would be so awesome

@@Kabab It really would be. I'd love to see somebody take a squirt through the LAN during the convention

As long as they don't use any shit from DJI I'll be happy. Fuck a pair of HDO's are probably cheaper than that shit DJI goggle or they could get a pair of skyzones or the like that do 3D that would have been sick on the ground vehicle maybe add head tracking and they wouldn't even believe it if they were impressed by this. Hell they were impressed with 50ms+ latency I couldn't even imagine trying to use that to fly.

@@thirtythreeeyes8624 even aomway and flysight have affordable good goggles,

^ That. Aomway goggles can be bought for $150 if you are lucky. And their video quality is quite acceptable :)

@@thirtythreeeyes8624 oh well, now it's pretty much the standard digital setup for flying

THIS!

Yes, if they mounted on Traxxas's XO-1, the 100 MPH RC car. LOL

yeah came here to point out that ChannelSuperFun is only dead because Linus hates everyone else

Gordon Freeman DADDY

@Yggdrasil i agree, jake is so much more mature than everyone else that it is off-putting having him around.

I don't expect this comment, but nice idea 😂

Also swearing when bumping into something or bumpfeedback when you hit soemthing. either physicaly or with a bit of electric fun.

@@StreuPfeffer yes, maybe a rotating hat brim to keep the sun from glaring on the camera too

And give it a option to take tomatoes out of your salad.

That would be amazing!

We're almost full circle!!!!!

And they would both have been true :)

this was the title a few weeks ago: www.element14.com/community/docs/DOC-91965/l/episode-391-first-person-view-rc-car-with-ps1-steering-whee?ICID=e14-presents-videos

None of this s*** is new I've been flying drones for years that do a hundred miles per hour in first person view

OMG. So true. Thank God they stopped that.

@@easley421 Well that's obvious given they even use a headset that was specifically made for that purpose.

You can get it much cheaper (and at a similar quality) than what they did. This is what you need for the FPV part: Camera: Eachine TX02 (or similar) for ~$18 Goggles: Eachine VR D2 Pro for ~$80, or Eachine VR006 for ~$40 Then get any RC car you want. The AIO camera mentioned is actually made for micro drones so it is tiny, has a range of a few hundred meters, works fine indoors, needs no cooling and doesn't use much power.

or even head tracking goggles with pan/tilt on the camera

Stereoscopic would have been amazing.

dual 360 degree cameras, so that you could actually look around a little ;)

@@grim-upnorth I know for a fact I've seen someone do this... Now I have to find it again

Hazah! I found it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sJ-Xhr2ou7Pdkpc.html

they could help with the soldering job too... look @ 5:55

I mean if they spend more than 700 bucks on fpv gear alone, the sky is the limit right? Imagine them saving money on the car by using foam board :D

their

ray taylor right

ray taylor and it’s their not there.

Heck yeah

While I havent done RC cars in several years, anything RC is good!

You do what everyday? You do realize that the FPV isn't the main feature of this build, but rather the modification of the PC USB steering wheel to control the RC car, right?

what do you own, man?

I kind of wish they would include (a little) rc coverage, especially for the pc/ rc crossover communities

Agreed. I've been into it for 5 years now and I can certainly say RC is an extremely underrated hobby.

exactly what i thought: making a real-life re-volt game, how awesome is that?

I remember that game! xD It was fun!

Re-Volt VR...holy shit

wut

Yeah Im like this should be on Channel Super Fun

I thought this is channel super fun too D:

"Channel Super Fun For LTX"

Yeah, I can see why it would be a bad idea.

Yeah... that's like one of the first things you learn you've done wrong in any introductory circuits course. They probably should have gotten help on this project from someone who understands at least some electrical engineering

@@alzhn In this case since the voltage sense pin (to which the pod is connected) will probably be High-Z so it doesn't matter for strict resistance measurements. Especially not for "close enough" measurements like this.

@@EraYaN yeah it's true, I'm not saying they did it wrong, clearly it was enough, I was just sharing my sad story ahahah

@@EraYaN I mean, the steering and throttle pots would probably be in parallel in the original controller if they're used as a voltage divider, meaning you'd measure half the resistance if they were the same... Come to think of it, that could be why the throttle response is so bad here - the steering wheel and pedal are separated

I think they did it last year.

Basically the same as the FPV racing drones. But with a plane. I'm sure it's been done already. Just like this should have been really easy to do with most of the same hardware. They're just adding difficulty by using PC controls for the car.

you want do cause a major crisis? like....next step war type alike?

I think that's pretty common already, you can buy cheap planes with cameras builtin.

@@DoubleMonoLR yeah, or istall them yourself

Channel Super Fun revival!

Whats Floatplane?? ...... oh! ....BURN!

LINUS U GOT TO DO THIS !!!!

Try checking out Robomasters It’s a competition for college engineering students made by DJI. It’s Team RC robot and drone combat.

nah, this is a brushed 2wd traxxas slash, about 250 - 300 usd on its own with a decent lipo + charger. the fpv stuff is the most expensive though, about 500 - 700. There are ofc cheaper & smaller stuff out there that has like 360p 60 fps & similar. Like these guys over at flitetest has. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z56jmLiYktuyoZs.html These tiny cars does about 18 - 25 km/h.

Appreciate the detailed informative reply (even tho I'm not OP) but it's a joke that references the RC Bandito, an RC car you can buy in GTA Online. It's an RC car that costs more than the original most expensive super car in the game (the Adder) lmao

@@MinecraftAnd9646 yep, knew that but figured id put in that the cost can be done cheaper, being bored at home atm heh.

Your talking to a man aka Linus who bought a rc car that is so fast it can drive in water and he’s saying he wants a slow one 🙄

@@Zahoodo Wasn't it supposed to go to some event? You don't want this thing ripping around the place and smashing into people and potentially injuring someone

was going to mention them. They also do FPV at venues (FliteFest) so making the video reliable in those conditions is something they know tips for.

i was gonna mention them too lol

and it would also boost both channels i think

I love flitetest

hope so :)

look like they learned nothing, cuz you can buy better setup for MUCH less :D

@@tmb282 haha exactly

@@tmb282 they traded money for convenience; I see nothing wrong with that. The time they'd have spent learning how to set up FPV is much more valuable than what they the money they spent on the pre-made setup.

@@shanzid01 yeah, I now, but they just can go to local hobby shop with FPV equp and ask. Or collaborate with other youtubers from FPV community ;) googles are great for a non-hobbists, but camera a VTX looks waaay too bulky and fragile for fast RC car...

only problem is latency. 720p is godly beleive it or not

fpv

whats the total cost for a beginner set up?

Blueeyedmerle varies, but a nice indoor/outdoor quad is the US/UK65 (brushless tiny whoop class), half a dozen batteries (quad comes with charger), then a FlySky i6 and a pair of $100 budget goggles is like $250 If you want a speed freak (100+ mph and takes a beating hitting trees and fences at 80 mph like it’s nothing, and you will smash into things...), then the Diatone GT R349 is a fantastic quad with high end components and the best carbon fiber job I’ve ever seen. The Quad is $180, and batteries are about $12 to $18 (varies if you get 1 or a 4 pack, get the 4 pack, you’ll be smiling for longer!). You’ll have air that with a micro PPM receiver or get the BNF option, but it’s seriously just 3 wires. That would set you back about $320 to $350 in total, but don’t fly it in your house unless you want some new “skylights” added, haha! My goggles are super dated, I haven’t had a reason to upgrade other than I might opt for a DVR recording option, but they were like $80 way back in the day (I think that included VTX too). I actually preferred them over my friends Fatshark goggles (mine are 480p and standard monitor aspect ratio of 16x9 like I’m used to, I haven’t games on 4:3 like the fatsharks in a while and it felt weird) I’d also get a $8 soldering iron and $5 in solder so your prepped with good tools when you need them, the Diatone is actually really nicely thought out and easy to solder. I haven’t broke anything on it yet though, and with my flying and crash rate pushing it to 1 crash per minute, then that’s a miracle it lasts even a day (0 cracks, no smashed lenses, just bent up props. Trust me, those tree and fence incidents at full throttle were not made up, I’ve never seen a battery fly so far away...) Get extra props and have fun! (Batteries used on R 349 is XF Power 4s 850mAh 70c with XT30 connector, I think it was $40 for 4 batteries), you may be slightly over 250g weight, go with 750mAh if your worried about it.

@@jakegarrett8109 Hey man thanks for the info. I'll check it out. I appreciate the depth of the post lol. Have a great day!!

Guess you haven't watched ltt for that long. Once upon a time there was only 1 or 2 channels depending on how you look at it (ltt and ncix tech tips) . Those were the good ol'days. ;) But nothing is as responsible for the good old days then a bad memory

@@arvidjohansson3120 I also know the time way back at ncix, but that was an other sort of fun. Something like this on csf would be an office race and the winner could design the working space of the loser. ... or get his car painted
