The first thing I did was take apart the motor, and inside I found a set of old school (china toy) wiper brushes. So I did away with those. After, I wound a custom arm, but I messed it up, so I grabbed a gen 1 stage 2, and took the endbell, brushes, and armature and slapped em onto the motor the car had.

Next was to remove all the wiring and clean up messy solder. Check.

Next chore was to wire up the board to the xmod pot and steering motor. It wasnt too bad. I got it on my first try
The pot wires are like this

Micro-T---------XMODS
POT
Black-Black
Red-Orange
White-White

Steering:
Blue-White
Gray-White/black stripe.

Soon after testing I trimmed the wires to length, soldered and heatshrinked them, and hot-glued the board to the car, and finally tucked all the wires under the board.

Looks pretty, and the electronics are pretty nice and have a smooth and linear response!

So heres an update I got rid of the rear wiper and layed some primer but its to cold to paint so it fish eyed. The side skirts are in primer and lookin good and i did pic a color for it. My man Joe came through and got me some advertiesment/sponser stickers.
