Dead thunder shot!

[Erik sund 3]

I just open the box of my old thunder shot from mid 90s.

I remember it was broken when I last left it, but now I really want to get it going. I remember it to be a great fun car.

I have opened it to try to troubleshoot but can’t find anything.

the engines are working when I power them. But from the controller it’s totally dead. Totally.

any ideas? Where to start?

the controllers antenna is missing, but I doubt that’s the main problem.

thanx! I would really really want to get it to work

This is a Quick Drive car, there is a good tread about them in one of the sections.

I've never got one working again, but I have replaced the electronics (servo, electronic speed control, transmitter/receiver) with modern ones - this will make it much better, but it will be more expensive than buying a working second hand one!

Indeed, it's a first generation QD Thundershot. These are very nice buggies, even in stock form.

Your transmitter seems a bit broken, it's a fact; you may try to find one second hand, they pop up sometimes... 2nd gen. transmitters work (keep your original crystal) the one with the red led upon the on/off switch, but only one trim button for steering. Good luck!
