|  i think i killed my baby
i was playing around on the rocks and it took a good hard hit to the electronics (still dont have a body on it).. but it ran fine after that... then i was driveing it around on flat ground.....it just stopped dead in its tracks, no signs of battery getting low or anything like that......i played around with the wires for a second and it started working but only worked for about 5 seconds and died again..... anyone had anything like this happen before? o yah and instead of the normal buzzing comeing from the front end, its a really high pitched whistling type sound..... |

you should make a body out of a clear 2 litre coke bottle juts to save the electronics for the time being.

 about the organizer thing, does it have a lid on it, or is it just glued in place over the circuitboards? -Dalton | |

what're the dimensions of it? do the circuitboards fit really tight or do they flop around a bit? -Dalton |

they flop around a bit if they aren't held in with something.....you could put a little piece of foam or something in there and it would be perfect, but i just put a little dab of hotglue in 2 corners of each board.... the lid is 3.75" wide and 6.5" long....the base is about an 1/8" smaller both ways.... it came from the fishing section at walmart.... |
