    Not sure if it's my back light or what the problem is. It won't wont turn on. No power at all. I would try and fix it, but everything I have ever taken apart in my life I haven't gotten it put back together. Since the rc cars I just had to know how they worked when I was a kid. I will just send it in for repair for 40 bucks or I could wind up in a money pit fast with this.
