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.

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....
