I need help on installing a new PCB.
 

How do I take the sevo part that turns the servo?

I took a quick pic of it...
Does anyone have a tutorial?

thanks

nevermind about the opening the servo thing. it doesn't need to be opened to install a new PCB.

but anyway, since i dont have the skills to solder the 3 wires for the servo, do you guys know of a store/shop that would do it around San Francisco?

purple = 8?
red = 9?
orange = 10?

Try calling around to computer repair stores and hobby shops.

ask the RS you ordered it from. or your local RS. ask them to. if they dont go to another RS. if they still refuse to go to a hobby shop.

OR, you could practice soldering, and then do it youself,lol. I'm going to have to solder mine on very soon as well, I'm just waiting for my fets, so I won't have to open the car up again after I get them. Just make sure you have de-soldering braid and rosin flux, the flux that comes in the wire is never enough for me.

i got a question. does the new pcb also come with a new reciever?

The pcb is a receiver. If you're talking about the crystal, then no, no crystal included. No servo or battery holders included either, so you WILL need a soldering iron...

im talkin bout the board in which the crystal plugs into. that has the L1 and L2 inductors

Yeah, they do come with the smaller board...

k...thanx

Are those inductors what you burn out if you short the antenna to the battery? That's what happened to me :( From now on, I'm only using insulated wire for my antenna :cool:

yes thats what burns. for the stock antenna you could just get the longest piece of heat shrink tubing you have and shrink it to the antenna.

That seems like a waste of heat-shrink tubing...

what to put over the antenna? only if you're not afraid of frying the coil.

just get rid of the original antenna and replace it with some insulated wire. i did it and it works fine
