Tamiya TLU 02 lighting unit

Who are using this lighting unit (togather with TLU01) ? I got a very bad experience last night. My brend new TLU02 failed last night after the car ran 4-5 laps (~$65 per lap, $298/4.5). The failure of this unit had led the car became out of response and looked like the receiver failed (no steering and forward/backward).

I have checked the PCB of my poor TLU02 and found that seveal paths in the PCB were broken which looked like a result of short-circuit happened inside. I don't know whether it was a result of clashing.

Any brother got similar poor expeirence before? What should I do now, buy a new TLU02 or the 3racing LED set ?

影張相上來睇下個 circuit 邊度斷 o左線 ?

I have tried to connect the broken paths but the unit stil doesn't work. Any idea. In order to avoid the ASIC (?) be damaged by the heat, I used a 30W solidering iron.

你用 contact cleaner 噴乾淨塊 PCB 先搞會好 o的

整乾淨塊 PCB 再用銀線駁返佢...或者重用到

PS:嘩tamiya set燈用粒mcu好似係renesas粒h8來 ...有d大才小用

...有d大才小用? Nothing I can't say. Even Tamiya uses the space shuttle component, it is meaningless, it failed

之前試過啦我...
無啦啦玩左10分鐘都唔夠.燒q左...始終都唔知發生咩事

So poor, I finally bought a new TLU02, another $300.....

Shxt, !@$#%@#$^%@%$^#%&^#$&#%&

My new TLU02 failed last night after running for 1.5 packs of battery. Don't know what's wrong.

Who have any idea?
