The Scout is a micro tracked FPV Rover using all snap-together 3D printed components and SG90 servos, making for a cheap and versatile platform for hobbyists. The cab is designed to resemble a full-scale “snowcat” type vehicle, with scale features such as 5mm headlights, doors, and exhaust. There is a large truck bed, allowing large batteries to be strapped down via velcro straps, with plenty of room under the bed for electronics.
The Scout can be used with conventional hobby radio equipment but was designed to utilize an ESP32-CAM module, which is designed to fit in the cab and provide full control and FPV feed to any computer or smartphone. Arduino sketches are provided, so configuring an ESP32 yourself is as simple as upload and go.
Once the Scout32 is running, connect your phone or PC to the wifi network "Scout32", and enter 192.168.4.1 in your web browser to load the app.

Power Options
1s Lipo Power with Charger
Onboard charging is optional, but a convenient feature. Others have also had success powering their Scout via small USB power banks to provide power.
-1s Micro USB Charger
-1s to 5v Booster (Adjustable) OR
-1s to 5v Booster (Fixed)
-SPST Switch
-LIPO Batteries & Charger
-Battery Leads
9V Battery Power Setup
This method is the newer cheaper and easier method. Instead of using a 1s lipo with a voltage booster, this opts for a 9v battery with a 5v regulator. Modern 9v lipo batteries are now available, which are really 2s lipo packs with integrated chargers.
-Rechargable 9v Battery
-5V Voltage Regulator
-Battery Clip
-9V Battery Power Setup
ScoutXL
You’ll need a 2S or 3s LiPo for power, around 1500mah – 2000mah. The ESCs have a 5v regulator built in which can be used to power the ESP32. Connect the 5v power from one ESC, using just signal and ground from the other.
Using the RTR Scout32
-Charge the Scout32 via MicroUSB at the rear. Red light turns on while charging. Blue light turns on when full.
-Turn on Scout32 via switch. Scout32 is ready when lights flash.
-Connect your computer or phone to the wireless network “Scout32”.
-Open a web browser, and enter the address 192.168.4.1
-Once loaded, use the on-screen buttons to control the Scout32, or use the arrow keys on a keyboard.
