3D model description

Friend owns a plumbing company and is too old to be crawling under houses all the time so I made this machine for him.
Used an Exceed Mad Torque crawler (cause there is junk under houses this thing will have to climb over) as the base of the rover https://www.amazon.com/Exceed-Torque-Crawler-Ready-Orange/dp/B095G5SZKW/ref=sr_1_1?crid=36RIFY822PSJV&keywords=exceed+mad+torque+4x4&qid=1651900035&sprefix=exceed+mad+torque+4x4%2Caps%2C116&sr=8-1 (cheaper used on ebay)
Used 23mm white and 18mm amber LED's https://www.wish.com/search/led%20lights%20for%20car/product/5d4abb7b72dbc92b16fe14c1?source=search&position=9&share=web
A 4k cam https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0897M7HFD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Cheap VTX https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076MS6M4Z/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
VTX gets hot on high power so this fan goes on the VTX mount https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DQRMYWZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Cheap goggles that detach for use as a regular screen https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09NQP8N39/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Two pack of 35kg servos https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B092QKNWCC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
A pan & tilt https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HQB95VY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Antenna https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D12XS6K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And any multi-channel radio: I used a HiTec Aurora 9 I had sitting around but you can use anything that has 4 channels.
Lastly I used the files posted here to mount the camera, pan&tilt and antenna and a little plate to protect the VTX (it sits loosely inside this with zip ties, needs to dissipate heat so you dont want it glued in there) . Works really good. Might add rear-steer to get tighter turns in enclosed spaces.
