Broken Scion might be rising from the dead!

[xmodificationer]

i was going to do a 6 cell in my PN scion, so instead of putting it in there first i decided to try it on my returned scion to make sure i know how to do it right. well i got it on the returned but i decided to take out the whole EP for no reason then i soldered back on all the wires and stuff and i turned it on and it centered the steering! it wouldnt do that when i first got it, but i try to steer and make it go with the controller and nothing happens. so whats the problem? why wont it steer or go? well heres a pic of the chassis it didnt look like there was anything fried though so idk waht to do now.

u sure that you soldered the metal part of the wire onto the servo?

[xmodificationer]

yea im sure!

It's hard to see in the pics but i know what when i did my 6 cell the tolerances around the black wire you desoldered were very tight and it would be very easy for you to cross a connection (which would probably ruin your ep). Try to take a close up pic of the connection where the new black wire is soldered to the board.

[xmodificationer]

i didnt solder anything, all i did was cut the black wire in half, i took the red wire from the 6 cell and twisted it together with the black wire coming from the battery tray. then i twisted the black wire from the 6 cell to the black wire thats already soldered to the EP

[darkendblades]

he doesnt have marco on his camera so it might not get a better look in a nother pic

[123Vette]

can u geta closer up pic of the board? and a shot of the bottom

[xmodificationer]

i cant get close ups, i have no macro

[bondo]

lay the board on something that is completely white and snap a shot about 8 inches away from the board.
then use PS or paint to zoom.

to zoom with paint, use the magnifier tool and zoom in on the board. then hit the insert/print screen key. now select your outline tool,right click and hit paste. now you should have a magnified shot of the board. trim the edges,save it and post it on your pic server.

your problem is kind of a tricky one since it wasnt working when you got it.
if it was from the other guy jumping off ramps then it most likely jarred a wire or transistor loose.

[xmodificationer]

yea, ill look over it again. ill try waht you said with taking the picture thing.

I've bot many items from him and never had any problems.
he even sent me replacement screws on his dime when the set I ordered were the wrong ones.
