Scion not going foward
I installed 2x2 stackec FETs on my Scion TC, it worked great. But after having a head on collision with the lawn mower wheel, it stopped moving foward. I took the board off to get a better look at it. I didnt see anything ( even comparing with another board). So decided to put it all back together. After I did, I found out that the peice where the crystal goes is loose. When I pushed down on it the wheels would go foward, and when I let off of it they would stop ( I tried this many times). I was going to fix it today, by appling pressure to it and heat up the solder. But I tested it again today ( just to make sure thats what is causing the problem) and got nothing.
Can anyone help with the troubleshooting? Thanks |

woh woh hang on
you have already diagnosed the problem and your obviously a capable solderer to remove and refit fets so why waste money sending it to atomic mods ? its either a bad connection on the crystal holder or the crystal itself is damaged (or both )

Lol. its a little late, I already did it. I want to make sure everything is ok with the board ( just in case). I thought it would be the crystal, so I tried it in another one of my xmods and it was good. So now Im baffled . |

So its been 5-6 weeks since i sent my Scion to AM, and i still havent heard anything from them yet. I keep checkin my AM account for updates, and my email (even my spam folder), and still nothing. I see in their FAQs it says it will normally take 2-3 weeks before they to get to the car. I must be one of the abnormal ones. Lol. So i emailed them yesterday asking about my order. Now im just waiting on a reply.
I got a quick question, for those who got their xmods repaired by AM. How long did it take for them to get to your Xmod. Hey Xmdrifter, which remote do i need if I install a mini-z board in my xmod? |

I don't think any of us have used atomic
Depends what board, if you go 2.4GHz the cheapest is a $80 KT-5. If you go AM then you can use pretty much AM transmitter

I know this isn't exactly on topic, but why if Atomicmods still around. I mean I know that Xmods are no longer made, but geez everything on Atomic's site is "out of stock" except for like one or two things. Now with this thread I'm not sure I even want to play on their site anymore for any reason.
