WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.160 Age is 14 plus, well, I'm out. Just kidding, I am so excited for this. 00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:08.600 Meet the Q25 Series 240Z FPV car. 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? 00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:17.280 I wanna try it. It's a one 100 scale RC car. 00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:22.000 So any tiny little thing that not only can you rip around in your living room 00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:25.520 for up to an hour, they claim, on a single charge, 00:00:25.520 --> 00:00:31.960 but it also includes, look at this. It also includes a tiny first person view camera. 00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:36.560 So it might not have all the software fanciness of something like Mario Kart Live Circuit, 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. 00:00:42.620 --> 00:00:47.620 And there's lots of really compelling features here. 00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:55.160 30 degree smaller turning radius, full proportional steering control and working signal lights. 00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:58.880 All this can be yours for just $136.99 00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:02.600 or depending on the bundle you buy, as little as $70. 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, 00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:11.920 the goggles or even the RC controller. 00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:15.080 What you do get is stickers though. 00:01:15.080 --> 00:01:18.240 Overall packaging seems pretty good. You got a quick start guide that shows you 00:01:18.240 --> 00:01:22.320 how to link to the car, USB-C charging cable, a key chain. 00:01:22.320 --> 00:01:25.560 All right, that's not a bad value package. 00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:29.520 Included controller from Snicklo. 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 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, 00:01:37.880 --> 00:01:42.960 we've got light controls, we've got a little YouTube icon, settings icon, 00:01:42.960 --> 00:01:48.800 as well as, interesting, you can increase or decrease the power output of the car, 00:01:48.800 --> 00:01:52.920 not this power output. This is for charging the car off the controller, 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 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. 00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:08.080 And what appears to be just an 18650. 00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:12.640 Oh, there it goes. Oh, no, we've got three AAAs. 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. 00:02:17.320 --> 00:02:21.740 I don't speak much Chinese, but I think I can understand 18650. 00:02:21.740 --> 00:02:25.700 That is so cool. Oh, and there's a little threaded Mojigie, 00:02:25.700 --> 00:02:29.020 so you can put a monitor on the top of it, should you so desire. 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. 00:02:34.420 --> 00:02:37.760 These might be the least exciting part of this so far. 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. 00:02:42.180 --> 00:02:45.380 And this is neat. They've got a micro SD card slot, 00:02:45.380 --> 00:02:48.460 so you can record your races. 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. 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 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. 00:03:04.140 --> 00:03:09.140 But I saved something for today, and that is this. 00:03:09.660 --> 00:03:13.420 The first person view for ADP camera. 00:03:13.420 --> 00:03:16.460 I have only experienced teasing my cats with it 00:03:16.460 --> 00:03:20.500 from way up here, like some kind of chump. 00:03:20.500 --> 00:03:24.340 Now it's time to get in on the action. The pairing process for the car 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. 00:03:28.900 --> 00:03:35.180 Theoretically, that should all be working right now. Okay, but seriously though, guys, 00:03:35.180 --> 00:03:38.340 how cool is all of that lighting? 00:03:38.340 --> 00:03:42.180 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Brake lights? 00:03:42.180 --> 00:03:46.860 Ah, brake lights? Turn signal? 00:03:46.860 --> 00:03:50.900 Left turn signal? That is so cool! 00:03:50.900 --> 00:03:54.900 Wait, wait, what about the headlights? Headlights. Oh, there they are! 00:03:54.900 --> 00:03:58.060 But wait, there's more. Underglow? Huh, huh? 00:03:58.060 --> 00:04:00.660 Oh, I can change the color, baby! 00:04:01.500 --> 00:04:04.980 Oh man, I like this way too much. 00:04:04.980 --> 00:04:07.500 I think I'll go with purple. 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 00:04:12.580 --> 00:04:16.260 that definitely won't get lost. And it's little pogo pins. 00:04:16.260 --> 00:04:19.980 Magnetic. Huh! Wow, pretty secure too, actually. 00:04:19.980 --> 00:04:23.500 That's not bad. So just to show you guys, what's up? 00:04:23.500 --> 00:04:26.380 Ooh, hey buddy. Woo! 00:04:28.460 --> 00:04:32.560 She's fast, by the way. I would actually recommend, by the way, 00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:37.340 depending on your flooring, turning the power down to one level below maximum. 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, 00:04:41.940 --> 00:04:45.780 at least on my wooden floors at home. So let's turn power up. 00:04:45.780 --> 00:04:51.540 Woo! Actually, this floor, it's handling really well on. 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, 00:04:58.180 --> 00:05:01.580 then you should be in good shape, yep. They make some pretty bold claims 00:05:01.580 --> 00:05:05.700 with respect to the performance of the car, talking about its high-powered motor, 00:05:05.700 --> 00:05:10.860 its torque amplification, patented steering, 0.2 meter composite worm gear box, honestly. 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. 00:05:16.820 --> 00:05:20.140 I wouldn't mind a little bit more grip on the tires, 00:05:20.140 --> 00:05:24.580 but I do think that's something you could fairly easily DIY yourself a solution to. 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, 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. 00:05:34.940 --> 00:05:40.660 Link to goggles, matching steps. Turn on the car power, the FPV camera starts to work. 00:05:40.660 --> 00:05:43.420 Power on the QG2 FPV glasses. 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. 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 00:05:54.220 --> 00:05:58.100 corresponds to the frequency A, B, C, or D. 00:05:58.100 --> 00:06:02.260 Oh, okay, so we're A, 5865, 5.8GHz. 00:06:02.260 --> 00:06:07.580 Cool, short press, the glasses to correspond to the frequency on the car. 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. 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. 00:06:18.100 --> 00:06:21.220 Are you feeling motion sick at all? No, I love VR. 00:06:21.220 --> 00:06:24.780 Well, that's you. I guess we just press record and then it records. 00:06:26.300 --> 00:06:31.340 Yep, red lights on. Warning, the RC car FPV footage contains some flashing. 00:06:31.340 --> 00:06:35.980 Photosensitive viewers, please be advised. I am so excited right now. 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. 00:06:41.380 --> 00:06:44.660 If only I had so much money that I could afford it 00:06:44.660 --> 00:06:47.700 and actual friends who could also afford it, you know? 00:06:47.700 --> 00:06:50.740 It's very nostalgic. The camera is such a low resolution. 00:06:50.740 --> 00:06:54.020 It's like playing a home movie from the 90s. Right? 00:06:54.020 --> 00:06:57.140 I'm not expecting much in terms of range out of this thing, 00:06:57.140 --> 00:07:00.140 but who knows, maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised. Oh, out, dang it. 00:07:00.140 --> 00:07:03.500 Wow, this is really low to the ground. 00:07:03.500 --> 00:07:07.780 I feel like I am going ripping fast right now. 00:07:07.780 --> 00:07:12.940 Whoa, don't do spin, don't do spin. Yo, Andrew, what's up? 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. 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. 00:07:21.340 --> 00:07:25.060 Fuck! Oh, no, this footage is like a horror movie. 00:07:25.060 --> 00:07:30.740 Oh, no. Oh, wow, it's really scary behind the sets. 00:07:30.740 --> 00:07:32.860 Okay, do the headlights make a difference? 00:07:34.380 --> 00:07:38.780 Um, I'm gonna go with no. 00:07:38.780 --> 00:07:43.340 CPU pillow, lttstore.com. I'm going under the console. 00:07:43.340 --> 00:07:47.020 Ah, this is so cool. Where you at, bro? Hey, there you are. 00:07:47.020 --> 00:07:49.860 Here we go, ramming speed. Oh, I missed. 00:07:50.940 --> 00:07:52.940 Ah, bumper cars, boom! 00:07:54.900 --> 00:07:58.980 Boom! Boom, got him! 00:07:58.980 --> 00:08:02.260 Wow, it is dirty under here. Does anybody clean this? 00:08:02.260 --> 00:08:05.700 Oh, got him! No! 00:08:05.700 --> 00:08:10.300 Hey, where's my bailout, Glenn? I got you, yeah. 00:08:10.300 --> 00:08:14.060 Hey, no, no, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Oh, no. Hugs truck! 00:08:15.620 --> 00:08:20.140 Boom! Ha, ha, ha! Woo, victory donuts! 00:08:20.140 --> 00:08:23.620 Let's go. Boom. 00:08:23.620 --> 00:08:28.580 Ha, ha, ha, you know, 480p, the camera quality is not bad. 00:08:28.580 --> 00:08:31.740 It's a little rough on bumpy surfaces, I will say that. 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. 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. 00:08:44.900 --> 00:08:50.180 And the latency, we didn't even talk about that. Honestly, very usable. 00:08:50.180 --> 00:08:53.740 Let's go see the ShortCircuit set. Oh, oh, oh boy. 00:08:53.740 --> 00:08:57.980 Okay, I'm definitely getting some cutouts now. Oh, oh, she got out. 00:08:57.980 --> 00:09:01.380 I think I did. Oh, oh, oh, my controls are cutting out. 00:09:01.380 --> 00:09:04.900 Nevermind my video feed. Yeah. 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? 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. 00:09:15.100 --> 00:09:20.000 Come on, baby. 140 US dollars, that's a lot to spend on something 00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:23.060 that I have no way of guaranteeing the longevity of. 00:09:23.060 --> 00:09:25.340 But in terms of the sheer fun value, 00:09:26.340 --> 00:09:30.180 there's no denying that this thing is freaking awesome. 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.
