    Sounds good fellas. Prez has a good point about “normalising” the mods somehow.

    Maybe include general requirments, eg:

    Soldering required
    Cutting/grinding required
    paints required

    and then skill level

    Expert
    Advances
    Intermediate
    Beginner

    and so on….

    Then check the seating of the magnet in the steering assembly, the glue that is used from the factory is quite weak and the magnet can come loose after a while.

    Also, have you stuffed around with the steering assembly? I noticed that when I put the magnet back in the steering was crap! I had put the magnet in the wrong way. So try removing the magnet and flipping it over and put the assembly back to together. This is how I found that out!

    Strange, you have a dual cell yet the steering won’t turn. Are you sure the steering is actually OK? How heavy/large are your wheels?

    Some electronic improvments

    1) Dual cell your car creates stronger steering.

    2) Replacing the steering transistors with mosfets helps as well but not as much as a dual cell. I personally do this when doing the fullsize wheel mod.

    Some non electronic ones are.

    1) re-align the magnet and check the steering enclosure, also glue the magnet. This technique makes your steering more even and consistent between left and right.

    2) a bit of talc power over the wheel knuckles helps reduce friction

    3) buy a rare earth magnet from Tandy(radioshack), apparently they have just the right size. I dunno about this mod though ’cause I reakon the stock magnet is pretty strong anyway. I’d like to know if anyone has tried this….?

    I’m sure other members will post their hints and tips as well.

    Yeah, that’s over at minizracer and mzworld. Bitpimps is for micro-rc only, hence target audience is different. It’s like comparing apples and oranges….

    how is the range when using the guitar string does it affect it at all?

    Guitar string antenna and crip cap removal has given me a steady 9 meter average indoors.

    First off, welcome to the board fellas.:)

    mxm, mobile phones can afford to have small antennas ’cause their freq of operation is so high. General rule, the higher the freq, the shorter the antenna to have the same effect.

    Personally I use electric guitar string that is very fine and tensile. You can’t even tell that it’s there.
