Newbie Question On Dead Car

Hi All! I'm fairly new (only a few hours) to the whole bit car scene.. but I'm finding it extremely interesting... I only wish I had a car that worked!

I'm going to go check Walgreens for those $9.99 clones I saw in another thread.. but that's actually what my question is..

I have a Fit Racer clone.. is it right to call it a Bit Char-G clone? or what is its appropriate name?

Anyway, I was reading a lot of the forums and such about mods etc before I actually put batteries in my car charger :) Long story short, when I tried to use it, it wouldn't go... after an hour or two tinkering with it... I found the strangest thing happening...

If I hold my hand on or near the wired antennae (the one attached to the car) and use the remote, while the car is attached to the remote.. it works..

If I touch the metal telescopic antennae while holding the insulate car anntane in my hand, the car stops responding... strangest thing, and I haven't seen anything describing this..

After looking around the PCB I decided to take a high res picture of it to see if I could see anything, and I think one of the components may be burnt out on the PCB.. only I'm not sure if its just SUPPOSED to be weird looking.. can anyone tell me if this is normal?



If the picture doesn't show, they are also at http://www.centrahost.net/rc

There's also a good detailed shot of the whole PCB backside... or frontside? one of the side.. :)


I really appreciate any help you guys can offer! :) Thanks in advance..
