    I've used an RC car to pull fishing string down a long large diameter pipe when the noobs forgot to do it. It was one of those moments when the boss said he didn't care how we did it, the job just had to be done. Used a TRX4. Being that the pipe was plastic and in an open trench the RF went through it. The trick was to keep the car straight. Pulled about three hundred feet of string from a building across a parking lot to a new remote panel.
    Used it to pull a string down trays in a ceiling as well. Even if we opened the tiles up we couldn't get to the trays because HVAC and other stuff was in the way. The alternative was to throw something and hope the string didn't hang up on anything and stayed in the tray.
    RCs can be useful. lol

    Very cool video! Definitely a special experience. Since you already have a direct connection to the vehicle with the safety rope, there should be a way to run some wires down it to control the truck directly, rather than relying on the radio range. In order to use a regular radio still, you would probably have to leave the receiver at the opening of the tunnel and run some super long wires (200+ ft? LOL) to the servo and ESC.

    that's excellent. i've seen rc's of all types being used in geology and building (i.e. subfloor exploration). but this is new.
    there is technology to be able to send that signal further. from what i understand, similar to wifi, is it need to drop some extender signal devices along the way. how they get dropped and where, well, that's great engineering feat.

      Yeah, I saw that rise in the pipe and knew it would be a problem. My best guess was to squeeze the truck towards the wall side and hopefully push the pipe until it passed to a low spot. It worked! Just wish we had more FPV signal range.

Rlaarlo hasn't responded to my emails or their own chat. I own every Rlaarlo, Amoril, Crobull product. Unlike the problems people had with the 917, 787, and OT mine came right on time. Guessing it's my turn to suffer. Was really looking forward to this one. Between you and Joe from Exocaged I'm dying to try it!
