I have this old Blade MCX, this thing was about $99 when I bought it a few years ago and I only got to fly it a few months before it stopped working, I decided to get it out today and have a look since I've gotten pretty dang good at fixing tiny iC's (I found out it happens to be AVR controlled, that could get interesting)
Anyway I was able to find this busted component, it appears to be a ceramic cap but I want to try to verify before I just go sticking one in there. Does anyone have one of these they could take a pic of the board for me?
Missing component at red arrow, sits parallel to black cap (or is it a ferrite bead)
Thats strange, thanks, cant believe I got such a good answer that fast on here, man I love BLF!
Whats all that other add-on stuff you’ve got on there? Do you happen to have a component tester or other method to test the values of those 2 cap’s?
Edit: I see its some sort of “driver” for some add-on LED’s, I may look into giving it some lighting myself but I really want a single blade heli, one with a tail rotor, not one like this with alternating sets of blades
Not my pic, I know nothing about rc copters, I just had a few minutes to spare (waiting for my daughter to stop yelling at me) and did a google
There are a few rc copter forums, google for them and browse.
