Xanavi Crip Cap
 

I just bought a Xanavi. I opened the controller to remove the crip cap, and it seems to be a different layout than any of the pictures I've seen posted on this site or other sites. It did have a capacitor marked 10 that was connected very closely to the blue antenna wire. What is the likelihood that this is the crip cap.

Snip it and see what happens. If it doesn't work, solder it back on. How about a pic for us?

i wouldnt snip anything that you dont know what it is.....dont run the risk of pissing away all of that money....be sure first!!!

Ah, come on.... somebody has to try it first. It's not that hard to solder those caps back on the controllers. Now if we were talking about the car, that's a different story.

most likely someone has already tried it, thats why we have this forum, so others can relay their mistakes/triumphs to others so they dont ruin their own stuff......best thing to do is search this forum.....

I'll try to post a pic sometime this evening. I'm leaning towards just snipping it outta there. Only problem is that my soldering skills leave a lot to be desired.

I have a Xanavi too....I'm not sure where the crip cap is...but I'm gonna check the back for anything...

I already checked the back of mine and had no luck. I'm fairly sure that I've located the little sucker, but I would like confirmation before I start hacking away at my board. I'll try to get a pic and maybe we can compare notes.

O.K. I feel really stupid for asking this, but how the heck do I attach my picture files to my message?

at the bottom of the reply thingy after options....ok the xanavi thing sounds fine

Well I'm not sure if this is going to work or not, but here is a pic of the front of my controller board. I've circled what I think might be the crip cap.

that suckers on mine too, but i dunno if i should blast it outta there. I'll do it after I've placed the order for my 4-band controller :D

....and here's the back of the board where the cap is connected to the antenna wire. That's why I think it's the crip cap.

So yours has the same thing huh? Anybody else out there who might be able to take a look at the pics and let us know what you think?
