The next step in immersion is to add a head tracker to the goggles and pan/tilt servos to the camera, so that you can "look around" while driving. You could order a cheap camera that doesn't have a built-in VTX and use a higher power transmitter to increase range without springing for the RunCam if you don't need to record HD footage. Lower frequency (5.8GHz is terrible for ground based FPV, since it is severely attenuated by obstacles - I only chose it because it is (a) cheap (b) has tiny antennas.Higher power VTX on the car (200 or 600mW).Better antennas (There are many options, circularly polarised will help reduce multipath effects).I will be using it along with a 200mW transmitter, in my upcoming Redcat Buggy Video Range If you are interested in recording high definition video then I cant see a better option than the tiny RunCam Split 2 which can also record HD video while transmitting the analog signal. Use a linear voltage regulator (like the LM7805). On a hobby grade RC you will probably have a 5V output on your Electronic Speed Control (ESC) which you can use, but for these cheap RTR cars that isn't an option. You will need to power your camera, and there is a good chance that means you need to supply 5V (at 500mA in the case of my camear with the builtin 25mW VTX).
