I used masking tape to 'trace' a straight line with the sharpie, who knew sharpie's BLED unde masking tape

. I was thinking of the thicker line, but the bleeding made up my mind

I'll keep the guys posted

Well it's ben a long time since I've dabbled in anything ZZMT. But after my little surge in bits, I've been trying to revive this ZZMT. Since I've unveiled it, it's never had a working PCB. Well I stumbled upon a PCB in the bag of parts it came with and I remembered seeing it there the first time but never knew the frequency. So I never installed it. I recently learnt to tell the freq by the colour of the antenna it's 49. I have a MS controller that's 49. Will it drive the ZZMT?

For an entire afternoon I sat trying to rewire this truck. I even raped an SE board of it's CL lights plug so i could use it as a charging plug. I finally finished sometime at night, I didn't know where the steering wire or the +ve from the batt went. The next morning, oh and it didn't work, I took it outside for the hell of it to take some pics. It has had the articulation mod for almost as long as I had the truck, from just after the paintjob.

I think the batts are fried, either that or the board. But I bridged the poles with an LED and nothing so I'm assuming it's the batts. Maybe a lipo is in order

So here are the pics:

The last one's my favorite
