Look what I found!

I think I found why they are so fricken slow! There is a small blue capacitor behind the battery. It was hiding under a hunk of plastic. I'm sure if we removed it the cars would perform better.

Why would you say that? Just yank it out, and tell us your results.

1st of all I can't charge my car for some reason so I will wait until I get another one before I rip into this one too much (I am sure it is the fricken controller).

.....Maybe it's cuz your car isn't even turned on?

Also, check the battery inside, you have to match the positive and negative ends correctly. The ends are different spots than the original ZipZaps Micro RC.

everything is connected and it worked just before so it is some electronics problem. Yes the car and controller are on!
