so i finally got around to fixing my MR02s. well one of them needed fixing, the other was just getting a little TLC. my RM car had a bad servo that needed rebuilding, as well as an antenna that needed to be resoldered to the PCB. another oddity with this car is that although it has 7389 fets, it seemed to run really sluggish. while fixing the servo and antenna, i noticed the ground wire to the PCB was kinda crappy, and resoldering a new ground wire in its place seemed to do the trick!the PCB:
the offending servo, which caused centering problems (not the pot meter)
the rebuilt servo
my other MR02 (MM) had its ball differential and rear damper plate rebuilt, a new box stock motor swapped in (slower motor to prepare for my new track =]).
in addition, i also made a traditional wire in tube type antenna (not pictured) to replace the piano wire ones kyosho provides. i will soon be converting the rest of my cars, save for the F1, to this type of antenna. i dont know if it was just me, but it seemed to be getting less interference, and glitched less with the antenna i rigged up. when i do my next antenna i will be sure to take pics for a how to.
