250R rare(ish) find!

[Xpress]

Went with my grandpa today to help clean out a workshop of expensive tools (that kept getting broken into). Spotted this out of the corner of my eye.......

















(and it's not what you might think)

Sadly, it does not work :( I have to tear into it (with a jewelers precision, of course) tomorrow to figure out what's up with it. Usually these things use simple circuit boards. The cool part is I got the owners manual and a cool tip manual with it. Maybe get it going then consider my options...

In any matter my first priority with it is to get it working so I can drive it :Bounce:Bounce

Did you spray it with the hose to wash it off Xpress?, well no wonder it doesn't work ya dumptruck!, lol! (Kidding ya son, that's a cool R to have.)

If anyone wants to sell, I have a 3 & 1/2 year old who would love one of these! Now I have to search eBay for even more stuff.

Cool find!

Man Aldo......you and those slammin' ebay deals??? You have some pretty good finds there!! Just seen those 350x motors!!:drool::drool: 30 bucks is a great deal for that with the box even if it does not run.

My Grand Parents had one with out a remote while i was growing up. Not i own one in real like lol.

The best part is I got this one for free. Can't beat free, even if it doesn't work :D Time to pop it open now...

Nice!:lol:

i got a tri z int he box and everythgin too so now where is a green one and we can have a shootout lmao

[Xpress]

Lol a new twist to trikefest? :D

I got the transmitter working. Turns out the negative wire was corroded completely off. Once I soldered in some new wire it turned right on. The trike still doesn't work.. I smell fried electronics, which mean something fried inside. I hope it's not something on the circuit board- they're a real pain in the trailpro to unsolder and re-solder such small components. Gotta dig further....

cool find of a first gen, too bad its not water cooled...lol
