Trying to FIX a Joblot of Nintendo Mario Kart RC cars

- Hi, in this video I try and fix a job lot of faulty Mario Kart radio controlled cars. The karts have 2004 stamped on them so I presume this is when they were released. On one of the circuit boards it has 2007 stamped on it so they are approx. 12 years old. They were made by NKOK.
Remember that this is just for entertainment and I am not an expert in these repairs. The processes in the video may not be the best way, the correct way or the safest way to fix these things.
I do love fault finding and trying to fix broken things so I hope that comes across in this 'Trying to FIX' series.
Many thanks, Vince.
In the next video:
Mrs Vince "what the bloody hell are all these tyre marks on the kitchen floor? And all these banana skins??? And 12 blue shells in the washing machine"
These toys are really cleverly designed. Remotes look like Game Boy Advances.
the capacitor is on the motor to help prevent motor noise from interfering with the radio frequency and making unwanted glitching while running
You got it right vince, that four legged component is a variable inductance (well, to be correct is an intermediate frequency transformer), by tunning it changes the receiver band. You can take that inductance on the receiver and swap it but on the emiter you must change the quartz crystal and the adjustable inductance near to it. Also, you should check before if there's any other change in the rest of components (resistors and capacitors near the receiver inductance) as those are used to create a bandpass filter and depending on how the device was designed it can be of different values for each band and the inductance is used as a fine tunning or all the same for all bands and just trimming the inductance allows for all the desired band range. Good video!
No need to change battery from one comtroller to the other in the 40khz. Just turn one toy off and the other one on. :). Turn both toys on and race both to see which is fastest out of the 2. One controller, 2 toys. :). Great video. I enjoyed this one.
Reminds me of the race car I bought back in early 1990`s was going to return it because sometimes it would stop or reverse on it`s own ,decided to keep it cause it was more fun that way not knowing what was going to happen . I call it psycho car I still have it and sometimes get it out just for laughs ( did think about fixing it found a bad solder joint but it`s more fun as is )
Those are cool as heck! :-) even if you don't fix them they could still be like a collector's item for Donkey Kong fans and sit on a shelf they would look cool like that! :-) as far as the one that's missing the buttons for the remote oh, you can probably just 3D print some buttons for it. :-) I'm sure that would work
I had the yoshi one as a kid. Was very excited but the controls were a pain in the ass. ^^
Very great product and video Vince.
Are these truly RC cars that you can't steer? What a sham. I feel sorry for the poor kids who got these things 10-15 years ago, I would have been so disappointed. Still, interesting video.
Those Yoshis look like they've seen some things 😂
Hey, that Yoshi RC car was used in the ending of the “Grand Theft Mario” robot chicken skit
That is so great that you managed to get 3 of them going. I think they were used as part of a promotion for Mario Kart Double Dash on GameCube but they are a cool and interesting little part of video game history.
Me and my partner love watching your videos :) and I learn alot. Thank you xx
Another usecase for that 3D printer!
Sweet new Vince vid to watch on my graveyard shift.
As soon as I see you upload I get excited and hopes it’s a trying to fix and a long video. love your vids
Why Do i love these vids soooo much LOL 😃 These may be on the cheap side - but look at the electronics: microcontroller, capacitors, transistors, RC receiver...
Your videos are always interesting to watch
