Title: I need some major help... XD
Post by: joo suck on July 02, 2010, 08:25:04 PM
Anybody know how to tell what goes where on a cuircut board...? My motor flew off, ripping plenty of wires from their place... I have no knowledge whatsoever of what wire go to which connection point, but I'm pretty skilled with a soldering iron. (At least for a fifteen year old...  :dance: )

Anyone know how to fix this? (I'll have a video up in a bit.)

If its a cheap RC car just get a new one. Otherwise just find the part number of the circut board and google it and hope you find a diagram. I have no clue how those RC car circuit boards work and each one is different.

I would recommend (even though im no pro) take good care in motor mounting for spinner robots.

To remove solder

1. Preheat soldering iron like you normaly would
2. Get something to wick away melted solder ( paper, sponge ect)
3. Melt the solder with soldering iron and wick it away.

I will second Joeblo (I am a real builder) on properly building a motor mount instead of electical tape. A simple block of wood with a hole the same diameter would work fine as a better mount. Now that I think about it if you have a couple of spare boards you could figure it out with trial error and a multimeter.

Pictures of both sides of the circuit board would be more helpfull than that video.

Good luck figuring it out

Thanks, guys. I guess I should buy a new one if they have it. That's why I posted this; They're out. =P (The wal-mart here completely SUCKS!!)
