Another Sucessful PCB Transplant
 
Well I did it again.
Since I swaped my microsizer PCB into my zip I had a micro staring at me mocking me. So armed with my trusty soldering iron a little ambition and a cheap clone from Wal-Mart I got to work.
Upon opening the clone I noticed something strange, Only 1 of each steering wire attached to the clone PCB (bits and Zips have 4) but otherwise everything else was the same, made the needed board chart (for rewireing purposes) and got to work removing the PCB (and the stupid LED) reinstalled the clone PCB into the Micro attaching 4 steering wires as was origanly done in the Micro and reversing the motor wires because the controls were reversed from the micro controler. reinstalled the batt. and BAM Microsizer works perfectly. And now I have some parts from the clone to harvest. What about the steering wires you say!
Well I was curious too so while harvesting parts opened the steering cover and there it was 1 steering coil on the steering and 2 magnets in the chassis. So I was able to harvest
2 steering magnets
1 steering Spring
2 steering Knuckles
1 Steering adjuster (alignment)
2 frt wheels (rears are too big for the bit)
1 Motor
1 main steering rod
4 tires
1 PCB cover (will fit on bits or MS)
1 Mustang Body
and an assortment of wires



Totally satisfied.:D

Wow this tells me I need to go to walmart fast!:D

Yeah

I first purchased the clone to put the PCB in my Zip but the steering was extremly erratic with the zip controller so uggggg I had to use the microsizer PCB well today staring at my micro just sitting I had a solution and it worked perfectly. Bit my Zip handles way better than my microsizer.

Yo Marc,
Was the clone a Nakamichi??

No it was a motor works

Has a kick ass mustang body that fits perfectly on my micro once the slot was cut into the front.
