View Full Version : Lifelike controller repair rhikdavis 01-02-2008, 05:24 PM I think my younguns stretched the wires on one controller and they seperated inside the controller.....does anyone know a semi safe way to pry them apart for a looksee.....or is it more practical to just replace them.... That said, are there any aftermarket controllers compatible with lifelike track? Thanks noddaz 01-02-2008, 06:35 PM If I am not mistaken the controllers are glued together... Repairing them would be a pain. Can you solder? Splice wires? Parmas would be an upgrade... Or... Ok, who has some LL controllers that can be sent to this gent?

Unless you have an older Lifelike terminal track, the controllers are hardwired into the terminal track. Only very early Lifelike terminals had seperate, plug-in controllers. So to use Tyco controllers, of which there are plenty, you'd need to splice them in. Joe Montoya1 01-04-2008, 03:23 PM Now you say that Joe I recall you are right. Howver all is not lost because Mattel does those controllers with three 'speeds' so they would be ideal to splice in. Or better yet use a Mono jack and socket so that controllers can be swapped over in seconds... roadhammer 01-19-2008, 03:55 PM does anyone 1/24 drag race? vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2012, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.
