I got my hands on a Hitari Knight 2000 RC Car aka KITT from Knight Rider, let the mission begin!

This is a big one for me, I have got my hands on a Knight Industries 2000 RC car from Hitari, obviously it has issues that need addressing, not only is it broken but it also has some features that don't quite match or live up to the car in the tv show, BUT, I intend to correct these. So come along on this fix, I really believe its a good one.

Let's see if we can fix it.

I hope you enjoy the video, If so please subscribe

I had one of those when I was younger, was cool looking but very greedy on the batteries. I modified mine to work on a different frequency as it suffered from interference quite a lot. Having watched a little more mine was the older model and didn't make sounds, it also had a high and low gear speed slider underneath and when in low gear it was really fast and difficult to control at times, I've subscribed as I like watching fix it videos I really enjoy My Mate Vince and Buy it Fixit.

Make it "Hobby Grade!" With a modern receiver and steering servo kit, plus a "pistol grip controller. " That would be cool 😎

well done ade i was waiting for it to drive of the table oh that was dukes of hazard lol 😂👍

Great job in fixing it you missed one thing the controller is missing it's antenna

Nice little car. Good fix. Buggered if I know why they used yellow leds at the front for normal lights.

[danceswithaardvarks]

That's gonna look mint with a bit of a buff up. Nice one.

[yanghao]

That looks awesome. I did some online searching for the possible reason why they didn't use white LEDs for the front lights. It looks like white LEDs were not invented and sold until around 1996.

Quite agree with your comment with regards to pcb "glue". This stuff is pcb death to be honest. Me, and my other half, run a very small electronics repair business. Pcb glue is bad news, even today. ANY pcb glue, where ever possible and whatever type, should be removed. Even todays white silicone glue should be regarded with the utmost distrust.
Many Thanks for your comment.

Or whatever he was called.

[KOSMOSA]

knight rider predates me and i feel old for hearing "42 years ago"

[SIRSQUIDDYPLAYS-bbfo]

Should have made it hobby grade and hooked the lights and sound system up to that 🙃

[paulmcnamara]

Dunno if I missed it but it looked like it had wires to the rear did it have rear lights you didn't show and sad we didn't see it running!

[ronaldgreen]

One more thing: "Is that for sale!"

[Synthematix]

Thats not hot glue its circuit glue and i would remove it if i were you, it turns hydroscopic with age and will destroy the PCB

Another fine video boyo! That's for sure, isn't it? Ade, would you be interested in a GENUINE rubber keyed 48k Sinclair ZX Spectrum (as a donation to your channel)?
At present Patreon is out of the question for us, but we are more than happy to send you one of our collection! Lol!!!
Think it over, no rush.
Could make an interesting tear down and gameplay video, look you 😄😄😄😄😄
