That same thing happened to me...and what i did is I took it down to my local Radio Shack...and they had a solder iron and just fixed it right in the store...if your Radio Shack doesn't have a soldering iron, and you do, look up on the internet on how to solder...then you can do it :D

RSXRacer001 11-26-2003 08:56 PM

did it cost any money when you did that?
thanks

Just get a cheap soldering iron kit. It will come in handy for future use.

RedRSX 11-26-2003 09:02 PM

No it was totally free...

My local Radio Shack has really cool employees...everytime something on it breaks or goes wrong they always fix it or order a new piece free of charge...cool:D

RSXRacer001 11-26-2003 09:20 PM

ok thanks...and by the way, how much to soldering kits cost and where can you get them? Lowes? Walmart? Radio Shack?

RedRSX 11-26-2003 09:22 PM

Yea you can get soldering irons at all of the places you just said...i think they are probably like $15-$20...im not sure....never bought one

RSXRacer001 11-26-2003 09:25 PM

thanks a lot

$15-$20 sounds right. soldering irons are really handy, a must have for RC tuning.

How hard is soldering and how do you use it?

SKYLINE_GTR_R34 11-26-2003 09:58 PM

Not very hard at all. Plug in or use butane gas. Heat up solder & it "drips" on the item. Then it cools & it is ready to use. It just takes a bit of practice, not much :D

viperkilla 11-26-2003 10:04 PM

Thanks for the info. What do you mean by it "drips" on the item?

RedRSX 11-26-2003 10:07 PM

the solder drips onto the area when the soldering iron touches it...solder it kinda like soft metal...image the solder as wax, and the soldering iron like a candle

SKYLINE_GTR_R34 11-26-2003 10:16 PM

I think one of the best ways to learn it is by doing it. Try to solder 2 wires together or something like that. It gets easier everytime that you use it.
