Beginners guide to a budget friendly FPV RC car or truck.

TINY WHIP

Welcome to the place all about tinywhips aka FPV (first person view) RC cars and trucks. In this post we are going to go over the basics which is budget friendly units, parts and mods. How to build and what not to do.

Here is an example of a tinywhip in the 1/28 scale range.

Here is one in the 1/30 scale range.

Both are fairly budget friendly units but come with built in batteries and not many parts for upgrades. Lack of upgrade parts are compensated with stock parts available online or old units you may have of same or similar model.

All a tinywhip consists of:

  • FPV camera
  • VTX (video transmitter)
  • Primary or secondary power source for FPV
  • Cooling fan (if necessary)

You can see in the pictures above its just a camera, VTX (split AIO VTX) and a separate battery. This unit is in the 1/36 scaleā€¦
