LDARC X43 1:43 4X4 RC
AKK BA3 FPV AIO 600TVL
Eachine EV800D FPV goggles DVR
NHDT Mini Keychain Flashlight
(The Smallest Micro Small Tiny Led Flashlight Only 0.9in Long)

The preferred 1:43 4x4 RC. I wish this model had more built in forward lighting but similar as I have done with the FCX18 when I added an LED flashlight to that, I did the same with this. I found and got the smallest LED flashlight on amazon, you can see it in the thumbnail picture I think, red anodized little flashlight that is ziptied to the camera platform alongside the fpv camera.

Between the vehicle it'self, plus the camera platform with that additional 1s battery and the flashlight, this total 4x4 adventure model is the heavier of the two compared to the SNT Niva. The tires and undercarriage is the same for the two but the total overall weight is a bit apparent and makes a difference in this case when driving on the fragile thinly ice crusted snow.

The flashlight brighness is a bit much on the snow, going forward I may see if I can diffuse that a bit so it provides light but doesn't blow out and wash out the image. Either way though it's a really cool and dramatic FPV view.

I also want to take the opportunity to highlight how good the AKK BA3 FPV image looks compared to the Sniclo FPV.
