The video features a person, Aaron, who is trying to convert a PS4 steering wheel and pedal system into a remote control for his RC drift car. He is inspired by a fellow Canadian who did something similar and posted a video on Facebook. Aaron starts by disassembling his Spectrum DX2E radio and removing unnecessary components. He then tries to figure out how to connect the steering wheel and pedal system to the radio, which proves to be a challenge due to the complicated wiring. After an hour and a half of trial and error, Aaron finally gets the system working and demonstrates its functionality by controlling his RC drift car. He plans to add an FPV camera to his truck and use the steering wheel and pedal system to control it while wearing goggles.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. The host, Aaron, has been down with a cold for two weeks and has been thinking of a new project to work on.
2. Aaron got the idea for his project from a fellow Canadian who participated in the Drift King competition.
3. The project involves converting a PS4 controller and pedal system into a remote control for a drift car.
4. Aaron is using a Spectrum DX2E radio as the base for his project.
5. The Spectrum DX2E has no screen on top, which Aaron prefers to keep the electronics to a minimum.
6. Aaron has to remove the screws from the radio to access the internal components.
7. There are 10 screws in total that need to be removed to access the internal components.
8. Aaron is trying to be careful when removing the components to avoid damaging the radio.
9. The radio has a USB port, a plugin for the pedals, and a variety of wires that need to be connected.
10. Aaron is trying to figure out how to hook up the wires to the pedals and the steering wheel.
11. The pedals use variable controllers to control the speed and direction of the car.
12. The host successfully connected the pedals and steering wheel to the radio.
13. The host mounted the chip from the radio vertically to accommodate the mounting holes on the top plate.
14. The host is using a Gmade Komodo as the vehicle for his project.
15. The host has successfully tested the remote control and is able to drive the car forward, backward, and turn.
16. The host plans to add an FPV camera to one of his trucks and drive it while wearing goggles.
17. The host encourages viewers to try out the project and share their thoughts in the comment section.
