really want to share this so others can try it out, i hope sharing this file doesn't fall under self promotion since its free just want everyone to enjoy!, I got tired of the idea of wiring a VTX into every model I wanted to fly FPV, so I designed a self-contained pod for the Caddx Walksnail Ascent Lite instead.

The whole kit lives inside a two-piece printed enclosure (top + bottom shell), and the battery Velcro's to the side. The pod itself also mounts with velcro, so you just stick a strip of loop tape on any model — planes, cars, crawlers, boats, whatever — and swap the same pod between all of them in seconds. No permanent install, no dedicated FPV model.

For power I cut the stock wires off the board and soldered on a 1S PH2.0 connector, so it runs off the same cheap 1S packs I already use for whoops, and battery swaps take seconds.

Build details:

• 2 printed parts, prints fast
• Only hardware needed is 4x M2.5 x 10mm screws
• One quick solder joint for the PH2.0 connector
• PLA is fine, PETG if it lives in a hot car or summer sun

Happy to answer questions if anyone wants to build one. Would love to see what you end up velcroing it to.
