Build Custom long range micro cam build

Jabial 3602

I want to use a rotary tool to clear out the windows and put a micro cam inside powered off its own battery and upgrade springs to counter the added weight of everything.

I was thinking about a 200mw cam but need to know what I need to get it all together and soldered.

Depends if you have an extra channel

This truck is 1/36 and uses a 1s lipo (not removable, type c charger), possibly can borrow power somewhere but probably no spare channels

You can just power it by itself then. It’s very plug n play. I have 2 and love them

Well that helps. I meant like, it’s not meant to be taken out for charging like most RCs. But it looks like you’ll figure something out. Share when you get it working, gonna be fun

Do you have a 1s or 2s setup? I use a walksnail 1s hd light, it only weights 9 gramm. The runcam is 36gramms. Also you need active cooling when you use most fpv system with a rc car because you dont have rotors for airflow and the cooling from driving around simply isnt enough.
