Crappy Soldering
 

Has anyone else noticed that every other day or so, a wire becomes unsoldered? I guess if you're not swapping hop-ups in and out you prolly wouldn't have it happen that often, but aside from the antenna, every solder point seems to be weak. I cant remember how many times I've had to solder the motor wires, antenna, battery compartment etc back on.

Yea I noticed that the antennea kept on falling off so I had to solder it.

i hope it dosent alwasy do this but my wire to the bat on the left side came off becaes ti got caut in the rim.:D o well. i have noticed that some of them are weak.

yep
 

Had to resoldier the antennea last night.

i had to resolder the motor before i even put it in the car. also the antenna but that usually happens on cars

I had problems with the steering servo... See this thread...

Ya, it has not happen to me, but two of my friends with XMODs keep getting their wires un-soldered and they keep comming to me to re-solder them.

haha charge them:D

ARGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
 

Went to run it in the parking garage after work tonight and the negative wire from the clip to the stage 2 yellow had came unsoldered so I had to take it back home and redo it without getting to run it in the garage. Oh well, will have to do it tomorrow night. I do have to admit thought that the wire gauge is so small that if you move the wires around alot then it is hard to keep them soldiered...I still think a better job could've been done though.

Moral of the story: They should've packed a soldiering pen and some soldier in with these cars. If you plan on ever taking one apart to mod them, then be sure to either a: have a soldiering pen and soldier handy or b. take it back to the shaq...a lot....
