This car is fun to drive both indoors and out. It is small so it isn’t going to tackle rough terrain or even shag carpet. On a smooth surface it has enough power to spin out on turns and drift a bit.
The Eachine EAT03 and the Emax Interceptor are FPV RC cars built by Emax. They are identical except for their coloring and some labels. You can buy the cars as a ready to drive FPV package.
Emax makes good stuff. From the Tinyhawk to the Hawk Pro 5
The EAT03 Interceptor comes with a 300 mah lip battery. You can charge it using a micro USB without removing it from the car. I got about 12 minutes of driving it around before it started to slow down.
FPV Goggles and Remote
The FPV goggles are nice. A step above a basic pair of FPV goggles. They have diversity antennas, easy to use buttons and fit comfortably on your face. The screen is big and bright and you can move it to help you focus
The battery is a 18650 in a rechargeable case. You can use these goggles with your drones or if you already own a set of FPV goggles you can pick up the car and remote without them.
The remote is like most RC car remotes I’ve used with a pistol grip and a steering wheel on the right side. It works well and has a range of about 150 meters. I found the FPV feed to only make it about 100 meters before got difficult to drive. That seems about right as it uses a 25 mw video transmitter.
Should you get the EAT03 Interceptor.
If you are looking to get into FPV this car might be the first step. It will get you hooked and you’ll want more. That is when you can turn to some of the other Eachine or Emax products.
Where to buy
You can pick up the Eachine & EMAX EAT03 at Banggood starting from $55.99
