OK, so far as i can figure the crystal on the EP has something to do with the controller controlling the car. now, i've seen cars with removable crystals
and saw in the AM V2 tutorial (i think it was anyways) that they told you to remove the crystal then reinstall it later on. is removal really necessary and if
so, why? the the quick removal upgrade usful or necessary either?

i leave my crystals in the cars and remotes, I only change them if i want to run multiple cars simultaneously. Although I have never installed a V2 board so i
don't know why they ask you to remove it, if there is no batteries attached to the car then there shouldn't be any fear of screwing up the crystal or
board, except of course bad soldering.

I think I now have a different band for each car through trades, ebay and various other means, but somehow jimtothejam and I always end up controlling each
others cars, particularly at vital moments in the race/ jump/whatever we happen to be doing. I'm not quite sure why, as we're on different bands, but
whenever i get close to his car, it stops.

(what jamie doesnt know is that ive fitted a remote lockdown device that actives whenever his car passes mine. THAT is the real reason for the
'interference'
)

lol i was only joking but if you wanted to do it you could use a remote controlled switch from a cheapo rc car that was on most of the time, but when you
pressed a button on your remote, it would turn off. ideall this would be soldered into the motor wire, but i think they'd notice if they ever looked inside
their shell.
