Finally got a bit. but have problems
 

i just got a bit from a chinese mall. it is the 27mhz skyline.
I opened it and assembled, it. I fount that i get about 6 feet, with the antenna, woobling all over the place. Then i tried to find the criplle cap but broke the pcb cover! on no, where is the cripple cap? and anyone have an extra pcb cover? please???

dude, the cripple cap is in the controller, not the car. some controllers don't have it.

Uhhhh, no. In some cases there are caps on both car and controller.

but my understanding was the easier of the mods is to do the one in the controller...

Look at www.questformadness.com , but im not sure where you can get an extra pcb cover, sorry.

The easier one is to take apart your whole damn controller for a crip cap that may not be there. In theory, this may seem like the easier mod, however if you have a soldering iron and a tiny bit of experience then the cap on the car is incredible easy, and if it's not there it's not a big deal to clean up. By the way, QFM is a fantastic site for any mods you're planning on doing.

My bad, I stand corrected.

i dont know squat bout soldering. I dont even know how one looks like? tell me what i should buy, and how it works, and how to remove the bugger

If you don't know anything about soldering, don't try it on your car. Really. Don't do it.

not to be rude, but how do we know he really got a car this time and he's not just saying he did so he can ask the same questions all over again without anyone getting on his case?

you dont need a pcb cover...pssh i broke mine a long time ago already...all u need is tape :cool:

dont solder without experience..or youll burn something

Experience Shmerience. I was pretty much a first time solderer and I removed my crip cap no problem. 30ft of range gained!

pakiplaya, i'm also new at bits i've just got my bit 2 dats ago, i did also broke the pcb cover, not the whole cover but just the one of the two clicks on the sides .. so it doesn't matter, i killed of the crip cap from my pcb and controller, for the crip cap on the controller check in www.ausmicro.com , for the crop cap in pcb check in www.questformadness.com

kk, but i have the 27mhz skyline. it doesnt have the cripple cap thta u just cut right? the m&m kinda lookin one, it has the one u have to solder of the actual board right? or does it have the circlular cripple cap.
