Hello folks, as I will get MT410 on Christmas, I decided to learn a bit more about RC cars.
I am trying to fix some silly RC car I got 10 years ago - Silverlit RXRacer.
Original problem: leaked AA battery corrupted connections - solved it by removing this part and using LiFePO4 (S2) 1600mAh (6.6V). Car seems to be working fine, wheels are turning, small brush(less?) motor works fine as well.
Current problem: It seems to me, that after some load, the car dies, starts to blink like an error code and only thing that helps is to turn it off and on (like old MS Windows ). On back of the car, everything works fine for 30s, maybe sometimes more. When I start to use car on the floor (riding it), almost instantly fails and blinks (and does not respond to anything).
This is happening also with brand new 4xAA batteries as well, not just LiFePO4.
So I am here and stuck with cheap toy, which I am trying to fix. I will try to attach some video of a problem. Any ideas are welcomed. My 2yo boy loves to follow this car in a flat, so I would be happy to still fix it.
Thank you
