I have a very well played with Alpha 27 Crossfire that powers up but I do not have the remote control.
It operates on 27mhz. Now forgive me, I've never been into remote controlled cars, so I have no idea about this, but I bought a generic 27mhz remote control thinking it would work, but it only operates the vehicle in reverse no matter what control I use. Is there something specific about the OEM vintage controller that differs from any old 27mhz controller? My fear is that if I buy a vintage OEM controller it will do the same as the other ones I have... anyone know anything about this?

That is an EXCELLENT question, and one that I have had as well, and something that I, unfortunately, can offer nothing in guidance or expertise of. I'm sorry. I'm just as eager to see answers pour in.

Okay, so after a ton of research I learned that even though the car operates on 27Mhz, each car and remote's crystal operates on a slightly different level...
Like 27.111555555 or 27.9455522, etc, etc... so both the car and the remote had to have the exact same crystal frequency... just having 27 or 49mhz isn't enough. So what I was left with was either trying to locate a vintage controller or re-crystalizing the transmitter and car... meaning re-solder the motherboards. This is something I can do with my limited electronic background, but a buddy of mine was able to get me an Alpha 27 remote from JoeCon this year, so once I get it, I'll be able to take some videos of a fully functional Crossfire.

If anyone knows how to fix this or if it's even fixable, please let me know. |
