1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,160 Age is 14 plus, well, I'm out. Just kidding, I am so excited for this. 2 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,600 Meet the Q25 Series 240Z FPV car. 3 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:13,160 I saw this thing on the ShortCircuit shelf and I went, how has this been here for so long? 4 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:17,280 I wanna try it. It's a one 100 scale RC car. 5 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:22,000 So any tiny little thing that not only can you rip around in your living room 6 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,520 for up to an hour, they claim, on a single charge, 7 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:31,960 but it also includes, look at this. It also includes a tiny first person view camera. 8 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:36,560 So it might not have all the software fanciness of something like Mario Kart Live Circuit, 9 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:42,620 but still, being able to rip around and tease your cats from an inch above the floor sounds pretty awesome to me. 10 00:00:42,620 --> 00:00:47,620 And there's lots of really compelling features here. 11 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:55,160 30 degree smaller turning radius, full proportional steering control and working signal lights. 12 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,880 All this can be yours for just $136.99 13 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,600 or depending on the bundle you buy, as little as $70. 14 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:08,480 Although that only comes with the car and doesn't include either the first person view camera, 15 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,920 the goggles or even the RC controller. 16 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,080 What you do get is stickers though. 17 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,240 Overall packaging seems pretty good. You got a quick start guide that shows you 18 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,320 how to link to the car, USB-C charging cable, a key chain. 19 00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:25,560 All right, that's not a bad value package. 20 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,520 Included controller from Snicklo. 21 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,640 Good brand, good RC brand, Snicklo. Or at least I hope it's a good RC brand 22 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,880 because that's the brand that made this whole thing. On here, we've got trim for steering, 23 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:42,960 we've got light controls, we've got a little YouTube icon, settings icon, 24 00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:48,800 as well as, interesting, you can increase or decrease the power output of the car, 25 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,920 not this power output. This is for charging the car off the controller, 26 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:59,620 which is super handy. And then an on-off switch. It looks like there's some kind of contacts down here 27 00:01:59,620 --> 00:02:05,040 for charging this on a dock. A C to C adapter for that charger I showed you guys before. 28 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,080 And what appears to be just an 18650. 29 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:12,640 Oh, there it goes. Oh, no, we've got three AAAs. 30 00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:17,320 That'll give us a higher voltage, that makes sense. You can put an 18650 in it. 31 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,740 I don't speak much Chinese, but I think I can understand 18650. 32 00:02:21,740 --> 00:02:25,700 That is so cool. Oh, and there's a little threaded Mojigie, 33 00:02:25,700 --> 00:02:29,020 so you can put a monitor on the top of it, should you so desire. 34 00:02:29,020 --> 00:02:33,540 Oh yeah, that'd be great for first person view. If you don't want to wear that, goggles. 35 00:02:34,420 --> 00:02:37,760 These might be the least exciting part of this so far. 36 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:42,180 But it does have an integrated screen. It's not the kind that you have to put your phone in. 37 00:02:42,180 --> 00:02:45,380 And this is neat. They've got a micro SD card slot, 38 00:02:45,380 --> 00:02:48,460 so you can record your races. 39 00:02:48,500 --> 00:02:54,100 All right, some antennas and stuff. Of course, the real star of the show is the car. 40 00:02:54,100 --> 00:02:58,260 This is not a true first impressions, because I've already spent a fair bit of time 41 00:02:58,260 --> 00:03:04,140 driving these around, and that's why I'm so excited about this video, because it's so much fun. 42 00:03:04,140 --> 00:03:09,140 But I saved something for today, and that is this. 43 00:03:09,660 --> 00:03:13,420 The first person view for ADP camera. 44 00:03:13,420 --> 00:03:16,460 I have only experienced teasing my cats with it 45 00:03:16,460 --> 00:03:20,500 from way up here, like some kind of chump. 46 00:03:20,500 --> 00:03:24,340 Now it's time to get in on the action. The pairing process for the car 47 00:03:24,340 --> 00:03:28,900 and the controller is very simple. You press the settings button, and then there's a pairing button on the bottom of here. 48 00:03:28,900 --> 00:03:35,180 Theoretically, that should all be working right now. Okay, but seriously though, guys, 49 00:03:35,180 --> 00:03:38,340 how cool is all of that lighting? 50 00:03:38,340 --> 00:03:42,180 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Brake lights? 51 00:03:42,180 --> 00:03:46,860 Ah, brake lights? Turn signal? 52 00:03:46,860 --> 00:03:50,900 Left turn signal? That is so cool! 53 00:03:50,900 --> 00:03:54,900 Wait, wait, what about the headlights? Headlights. Oh, there they are! 54 00:03:54,900 --> 00:03:58,060 But wait, there's more. Underglow? Huh, huh? 55 00:03:58,060 --> 00:04:00,660 Oh, I can change the color, baby! 56 00:04:01,500 --> 00:04:04,980 Oh man, I like this way too much. 57 00:04:04,980 --> 00:04:07,500 I think I'll go with purple. 58 00:04:08,460 --> 00:04:12,580 And this is really cool. To attach the camera, you pop off this little panel up here 59 00:04:12,580 --> 00:04:16,260 that definitely won't get lost. And it's little pogo pins. 60 00:04:16,260 --> 00:04:19,980 Magnetic. Huh! Wow, pretty secure too, actually. 61 00:04:19,980 --> 00:04:23,500 That's not bad. So just to show you guys, what's up? 62 00:04:23,500 --> 00:04:26,380 Ooh, hey buddy. Woo! 63 00:04:28,460 --> 00:04:32,560 She's fast, by the way. I would actually recommend, by the way, 64 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:37,340 depending on your flooring, turning the power down to one level below maximum. 65 00:04:37,340 --> 00:04:41,940 I found that it was a little bit easier to control, otherwise she just burns out right out of the gate, 66 00:04:41,940 --> 00:04:45,780 at least on my wooden floors at home. So let's turn power up. 67 00:04:45,780 --> 00:04:51,540 Woo! Actually, this floor, it's handling really well on. 68 00:04:52,540 --> 00:04:58,180 Ooh, that trim, not bad. So as long as you accelerate a little bit more slower-like, 69 00:04:58,180 --> 00:05:01,580 then you should be in good shape, yep. They make some pretty bold claims 70 00:05:01,580 --> 00:05:05,700 with respect to the performance of the car, talking about its high-powered motor, 71 00:05:05,700 --> 00:05:10,860 its torque amplification, patented steering, 0.2 meter composite worm gear box, honestly. 72 00:05:10,900 --> 00:05:16,820 It's really fun to drive, and this is as someone who has dabbled in RC over the years. 73 00:05:16,820 --> 00:05:20,140 I wouldn't mind a little bit more grip on the tires, 74 00:05:20,140 --> 00:05:24,580 but I do think that's something you could fairly easily DIY yourself a solution to. 75 00:05:24,580 --> 00:05:29,540 But that's not why we're here. What I really wanna talk about is the FPV experience, 76 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,940 which we'll have to wait for this message from our sponsor. We are in uncharted territory now. 77 00:05:34,940 --> 00:05:40,660 Link to goggles, matching steps. Turn on the car power, the FPV camera starts to work. 78 00:05:40,660 --> 00:05:43,420 Power on the QG2 FPV glasses. 79 00:05:44,540 --> 00:05:49,860 Oh, we're gonna need some antennas first, I think. Woo, there's a composite video output. 80 00:05:49,860 --> 00:05:54,220 So if you wanted to go to an external recorder, you could. The light position on the back of the camera 81 00:05:54,220 --> 00:05:58,100 corresponds to the frequency A, B, C, or D. 82 00:05:58,100 --> 00:06:02,260 Oh, okay, so we're A, 5865, 5.8GHz. 83 00:06:02,260 --> 00:06:07,580 Cool, short press, the glasses to correspond to the frequency on the car. 84 00:06:07,580 --> 00:06:11,540 Will it transmit to both? Cause it doesn't seem to be an encrypted signal of any sort. 85 00:06:11,540 --> 00:06:18,100 I think it's just broadcasting. Nothing would prevent both of us from being tuned into this. 86 00:06:18,100 --> 00:06:21,220 Are you feeling motion sick at all? No, I love VR. 87 00:06:21,220 --> 00:06:24,780 Well, that's you. I guess we just press record and then it records. 88 00:06:26,300 --> 00:06:31,340 Yep, red lights on. Warning, the RC car FPV footage contains some flashing. 89 00:06:31,340 --> 00:06:35,980 Photosensitive viewers, please be advised. I am so excited right now. 90 00:06:36,780 --> 00:06:41,380 This is just the kind of thing that you see as a kid and you're like, oh, that looks so much fun. 91 00:06:41,380 --> 00:06:44,660 If only I had so much money that I could afford it 92 00:06:44,660 --> 00:06:47,700 and actual friends who could also afford it, you know? 93 00:06:47,700 --> 00:06:50,740 It's very nostalgic. The camera is such a low resolution. 94 00:06:50,740 --> 00:06:54,020 It's like playing a home movie from the 90s. Right? 95 00:06:54,020 --> 00:06:57,140 I'm not expecting much in terms of range out of this thing, 96 00:06:57,140 --> 00:07:00,140 but who knows, maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised. Oh, out, dang it. 97 00:07:00,140 --> 00:07:03,500 Wow, this is really low to the ground. 98 00:07:03,500 --> 00:07:07,780 I feel like I am going ripping fast right now. 99 00:07:07,780 --> 00:07:12,940 Whoa, don't do spin, don't do spin. Yo, Andrew, what's up? 100 00:07:12,940 --> 00:07:16,740 Whoa, where are you? You got some tape over there? I'm stuck on the cable cover. 101 00:07:16,740 --> 00:07:21,340 No, no, I got you, I got you, I got you, boom! Oh, no, no, I'm really done. 102 00:07:21,340 --> 00:07:25,060 Fuck! Oh, no, this footage is like a horror movie. 103 00:07:25,060 --> 00:07:30,740 Oh, no. Oh, wow, it's really scary behind the sets. 104 00:07:30,740 --> 00:07:32,860 Okay, do the headlights make a difference? 105 00:07:34,380 --> 00:07:38,780 Um, I'm gonna go with no. 106 00:07:38,780 --> 00:07:43,340 CPU pillow, lttstore.com. I'm going under the console. 107 00:07:43,340 --> 00:07:47,020 Ah, this is so cool. Where you at, bro? Hey, there you are. 108 00:07:47,020 --> 00:07:49,860 Here we go, ramming speed. Oh, I missed. 109 00:07:50,940 --> 00:07:52,940 Ah, bumper cars, boom! 110 00:07:54,900 --> 00:07:58,980 Boom! Boom, got him! 111 00:07:58,980 --> 00:08:02,260 Wow, it is dirty under here. Does anybody clean this? 112 00:08:02,260 --> 00:08:05,700 Oh, got him! No! 113 00:08:05,700 --> 00:08:10,300 Hey, where's my bailout, Glenn? I got you, yeah. 114 00:08:10,300 --> 00:08:14,060 Hey, no, no, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Oh, no. Hugs truck! 115 00:08:15,620 --> 00:08:20,140 Boom! Ha, ha, ha! Woo, victory donuts! 116 00:08:20,140 --> 00:08:23,620 Let's go. Boom. 117 00:08:23,620 --> 00:08:28,580 Ha, ha, ha, you know, 480p, the camera quality is not bad. 118 00:08:28,580 --> 00:08:31,740 It's a little rough on bumpy surfaces, I will say that. 119 00:08:32,380 --> 00:08:39,100 But the traction, you get some quick turns. And you know what? The distance is surprisingly good. 120 00:08:39,100 --> 00:08:44,900 The fact that we can be ripping around over in like, the build corner and still see what we're doing. 121 00:08:44,900 --> 00:08:50,180 And the latency, we didn't even talk about that. Honestly, very usable. 122 00:08:50,180 --> 00:08:53,740 Let's go see the ShortCircuit set. Oh, oh, oh boy. 123 00:08:53,740 --> 00:08:57,980 Okay, I'm definitely getting some cutouts now. Oh, oh, she got out. 124 00:08:57,980 --> 00:09:01,380 I think I did. Oh, oh, oh, my controls are cutting out. 125 00:09:01,380 --> 00:09:04,900 Nevermind my video feed. Yeah. 126 00:09:04,900 --> 00:09:08,900 Oh, oh, I got the video feed. Oh, oh. It's like controlling a Mars rover, you know? 127 00:09:08,900 --> 00:09:15,100 It's like you just didn't plan it. I'm coming back, I'm coming back. I've got enough video feed to come back. 128 00:09:15,100 --> 00:09:20,000 Come on, baby. 140 US dollars, that's a lot to spend on something 129 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,060 that I have no way of guaranteeing the longevity of. 130 00:09:23,060 --> 00:09:25,340 But in terms of the sheer fun value, 131 00:09:26,340 --> 00:09:30,180 there's no denying that this thing is freaking awesome. 132 00:09:30,180 --> 00:09:34,140 So we'll have it linked down below. Don't forget to subscribe to ShortCircuit. See you guys later.
