    Damn, what a pain. Thats a bit odd though, they *should* be the same chip, unless its a different manufacturer, then I suppose the internals will probably be different.

    Yeah, have some pics but I’m yet to post ’em. I’ve found a problem though. The SMD version of the 4017 won’t allow the leds to run without the diodes, yet the usual DIP version of the 4017 does!!!!! Go figure…. So I’ve got to redesign the pcb to accomodate 8 bloody diodes…. Gawd that gives me the sh1ts…..

    What are the original FETs on the PCB and what are you replacing them with? I’ll see if I can investigate this a bit for you guys….

    Why don’t you just find better (lower Rds) performing FETS instead of stacking them…. There’s no elegance doing it this way…..

    To filter from noise generated by the motor. The RF receivers in these cars are very sensitive.

    Alrighty then, after countless stuff ups and lots of useless pcb’s now lying around the place, I have finally got the PCB design done for this mod. Also the pcb will fit on top of the RX pcb.

    Here’s a pic:

    The pcb at the bottom right is the finished product. The two misfits at the top were my “better quality” stuff ups….
    The black outline on the bottome left is what I used as the overlay to put the track desing onto the PCB.

    Good (read: sad) stuff!

    IS the gearing on the rear axles the same colour? Different colours stand for different ratios…

    Maybee they are being release with the tomy 3.0 motor. Hmmmm when I ‘ad a look at ’em in KMART yesterday they still seem to have the yellow 2.2’s in them…….. All the Compact I have bought to date have a 2.2………..

    If the transponder is small enough, mount it in the chassis cavity next to the NiCd battery. This would offer better handling than on top of the pcb cover.

    You could get the Perfection Battery but its not too good (doesnt live up to its name, the most i could get into it was 112 mah…out of it was only 89mah.

    What do you mean jamie? How did you get these results? 200mah is it’s capacity, not how much current it can put out. That is dependant on the load…

    ToyEast seem to have sold out of those batteries anyway. Probably easier for me to get something from DSE or somewhere anyway.

    I just ordered 2 of the 200mAh batts on sunday no sweats. I got my order confirmation yesterday saying all is cool……
