We have a lot of days here that it is too windy to fly, especially for Jacob, so I bought a couple of these.

Seeing as how they are from WLToys, the same company that makes the little V911 helicopters that I have used and abused and crashed and they still fly, I had high hopes.
I am not disappointed, these things are awesome for the price.
The hard part is hiding them until his birthday in a couple of months.
He is gonna be 10, it seems like only a few short years since I watched him being born and held him for the first time, he was so tiny.
Anyway back to these little trucks.
I blue tacked a little all in one camera vtx on top and had a ball.
I have 2 of them and a second set of goggles so Jacob and I can chase each other around.
Also excellent for teaching people what FPV is like, no risk to an aircraft and they can see what it's like through the goggles.
Much better on flat ground though, like a carpark or tennis court, it's a little bumpy at my place.
I have DVR footage uploading now which I will post when it's ready.

Nice one Stambo. When it's raining or just waiting for my heli or quad batteries to charge, I have one to drive in the house mostly to play chase with my ferret or dogs FPV sytle. :lol:
