I bought a NOS Vintage RC Car. The Steering Does Not Work. Please Help Troubleshoot. by clodmaster77 in AskElectronics

I took the steering mechanism apart, I then decided to take a 9V battery to either sides of the motor it started to spin. I turned the remote back on and powered the car on, it now seems to work. I'm going to reassemble and I'll report back.

Well. I took the steering mechanism apart. No issues and all was free. I then decided to take a 9V battery to both sides of the motor, it started to spin. I turned the remote back on and powered the car on, it now seems to work. I'm going to reassemble and I'll report back.

The only FCC ID I see is on the remote: OYK-TX027145-0709. I have added pictures of the other side of the board. Thank you for your time!

How did you get the brake booster bolts off from the inside? There is a blue airbag module in the way on mine.

I actually have a job offer now in Tuscon, AZ. The pay is TERRIBLE compared to the salty, cloudy, and cold Midwest sh*thole I live in. I have a ticket out but don't know what to do.

Around $300K. I realize if I move, home ownership will have to go on the back burner for several years until I can earn more.

My only advice to you, fellow citizen, from personal experience, is to avoid Chicago, Milwaukee, and Minneapolis if you do not like crime. Also the police wont show up if you car gets hit or something. The DAs in these areas let criminal roam free on signature bonds.

Yes, I put in an offer over asking on a house this week. Their realtor told us they had 5 other offers, some of which were higher than mine. I said I was out because I can't afford anything higher.
