My new set arrived...
My new auto modellista set came in. This is my first micro r/c. pretty much my first R/c since i was a lil sh*t.
Although i assumed the hardware would have a lil more quality to it most everything else was just as expected. what is this thing ebayers always advertise as "the remote control evolves..." blah blah blah?
I cant wait to start modding this things. I'm glad i got a boosted car cause it would be impossible to control on my kitchen floor with out low speed.
So do the cars hold up pretty good to abuse, ive already had mine mangled by my cat and driven off tables onto hardflors but it seems to be fine.
can someone tell me what the itty bitty red unconvered wires are under the computer? im afraid to rip one so i didnt dig any deeper than that
my range is about 6-8 feet, really crappy, guess ill have to do some research into that.

Those small wires are the ones that control the steering magnets in the front end. If you don't want a serious headache... do NOT break them in half...
I did that to my first car, ended up trashing the thing because I'd solder it back together, it'd break in another spot and keep breaking. I just got fed up and bought my Fairlady.
Trust me, if ya know what's good for you, don't break 'em.
As always,
Yaksha

any others answer to my other questions?
evolving controllers?
and another thing, i noticed that it looks like the clear computer cover rubs the rear passenger side tire, um, its hard to tell but is it suppose to be that close?
oh, and i could not find my cripple cap so i assume its on the other side of my board but it looks like i have to do some soldering to flip it over. anhone else have this problem?

Well of course there are wires, gumby! Trust me on this, just unscrew the board, and flip it as much as you can. If there's wires soldered to the front, then that's one weird controller.

Ummmm I think there's something queer (odd) about your controller, then.

www.questformadness.com has all you need to know about boosting your range (mine is now 28 feet) and just about every other mod you would ever want to do. I've been there a buncha times and read every single mod, and I'm just itching to do them all!

I'll have to look into those mods. Problem is, I don't want to sacrifice dependability or portability.
