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?

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.

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 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.

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.

....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.
