Hi guys! I'm from Italy and i'm new on the forum!
I make this first topic to say an urgent help. I have buy, some day ago, a Suncon RC Formula-1 on used marketplace. It's was my favourite RC car when i was child and i was in love with it. Saw it again after 24 years is very emotional for me, so i have bought it immediatly.
Unfortunaly the metal connectors in the batteries vain was full of corrosion because was forget the old batteries installed.
I'm not know nothing in the elettronic and i have some difficult to weld something but i'm to be able to put the new metal connectors and a new power button (was it also corroted). Switching on, the car worked but no very good (to take a command, the antenna of the remote radio must be near the circuit elettric) : the anterior wheels are steering very random moment, doing micro movements, and they answer it very late to receive the command from the radio remote. Unfortunatly the car don't go ahead or back, so i had open the engine vain's and i have find a engine capacitor's exploded. With a multimeter i have try to see a voltage on the elettric circuit (i tryed to understand something with my some eletronic knowledge), but i have immediatly see smoke coming out (i had forget to put the power swith in OFF). After this, also the steer wheels not works.
After this, i have started to measure every single "pointed circuit parte" with the multimeter putting a multimeter wire on the central of the power switch and the other on every part of the circuit elettric. Everywhere i see 10/11 volts (the car mont 8 batteries AA), but in a point (on the yellow wire point, near the blue cable on the left of the circuit) where is a diode leg, the multimeter show me 0.08 volt.
What can be the problem and his solution ? I care a lot of this car...
Thank you so much!
