might need a replacement after my "repair" ?

Photos are very usefull, thank you. Tried and failed, i'm simply no good at fiddly stuff and a soldering iron... not as easy as I thought!

Thanks for the reply... Assuming im an idiot (which may be true!) and with the absence of any obvious markings.... would anyone speculate as to which wire goes in which contact / hole

morning all, long time no visit! A spot of help if you could, the boy (5yo) has fried the wires & capacitor(?) off his maverick rc truck ESC I have a soldering iron but need to get the right wires in the right holes, could you kindly advise? the wires on the lhs in my hand are off the motor, the ones on the rhs from the batt. from top to bottom we'll call the "holes" 1,2,3,4. The capacitor is also only attaced to one hole... Huge thanks in advance.

Could be interested in the strada, could you please sned me some more info / pics etc... Thanks you to all who replied, appreciated

Had a few nitros and got shot, want to get a lipo set up for me & the boy (4yo) to use. Ideally... a truggy / truck anything from 1/18 - 1/16 4wd or 2wd FULL SET UP INC TX/RX batts & charger Good / excellent condition Reputable brand (available / chap spares) Easy to work on Cheap! Let me know if you're looking to shift something on... otherwise I'll just get him a new HPI recon!

thanks all!

Getting back into rc with the boy (4 yo) having previously owned nitro, we've just had a little RC boat and he loves it! would love to get back into nitro but for ease, cost and safety ive got to go electric Looking for an off road vehicle, 2.4 GHz, 1/10 to 1/16, completely rtr, branded (for spares / upgrades), great condition, can budget £100 absolute max. anything out there?

the hdi venom is great... thanks! got it and purchased 3 batteries, perfect for the boy. steering servo is weak but loads of fun for what it is... looking for a step up already (for me )

All the work that went into this and I flogged the little bugger! whats on the market for a small, powerful, nitro nowadays?... or maybe fir ease of use for my 3yo, a *shudders* rtr lipo?

Thanks for the replies all; I went for the venom.... $27 delivered (from china); instructions are hilarious looks & feels pretty good to be fair. ive got another two batts on order too. just got yo wait for Xmas now

Just seen a UDI venom which looks interesting, not the faster but simple & small.... Any experience with these?

Evening all, i used to post on here quite a bit having owned Nitro trucks (hpi trophy, Schumacher rascal, mta4), never owned lipo. the boy (3yo, 4 at Xmas) loves wayching RC speedboats at a local lake, with Xmas around the corner I'm thinking of getting him one, a "toy" is not what I'm after. key features.... small simple self righting rtr im thinking this & I'd be grateful for your advice, thoughts, opinions & suggestions... http://www.modelsport.co.uk/proboat-react-17-self-righting-deepv-brushed-rtr/rc-car-products/405135 thanks in advance. edit - I suppose it is a bit for me but something we'll do together and he will pick up the controls soon enough, he's been riding a bike for almost a year!
