Anyone good on pot wiring

Post by purpletimbo »

My friend wanted a smaller handset for his young daughter, and I acquired a large number of these 6AAs super heterodyne Nikkos ones, 27mhz normal crystals trims etc, all with good aerials, ideal for the job, except the steering is reversed, and there are no switched on handset to alter.
Obvioulsy 3 wires from the board to the potentiometer, any bright electronics wizards know if and how to reverse them.
thanks, will save $15 on a servo reverse lead, unfortunatley, my other idea of flipping the servo is not practical on the buggy.

i couldn't tell you on the controller but you could always switch the pos and neg wires on the servo itself. we use to do this back in the day when someone had this prob and the radio they had didn't have a fwd rev switch. whelp that's my 1 1/2 cents :)

I would switch the outside wires. On the steering it looks like you want to swap yellow and green. I would try to switch them at the pot as that looks easy to access, and is probably less likely to mess up than soldering the wires back to the circuit board. easy to swap back if I am wrong too 8)

If that has the desired effect, the throttle should work the same way. The angle of the pic makes it hard for me to tell which wires are going where on the pot.

Cheers guys, he will give it a shot, although I realised that swapping the steering link on the servo from top to bottom on the buggy is a possibility, that would do for that car at least.
