remote to a radio control car broken?

My son had a radio controlled Nascar model car and of course he broke the remote. Does anyone know if hobby shops sell the remotes separately? I have tried to find a shop to simply repair the 40 ghz remote but apparently there is a tiny piece that snapped off and without it there is no possibility of repair. I have looked for other models of this car and no one sells it. I even checked the world of everything known as Ebay- no luck. Of course my sister would by the most rare race car known to man that is impossible to find :-(

  • they all work on a narrow bandwith, 20-30hz.

    look on the bottom of the car, or on the box for the signal it works on and write it down, go to a hobby or toy/car model shop, they usually sell remotes and can give you one that works on the same bandwith and should work with the car, might be a good idea to take the car along and test it with diffrent remotes to see if it works with them.

    the remotes they sell are sometimes expensive though.

  • Hi I don't know of any hobby shops but and 40ghz controller should work so id just find a cheapy on eBay with a 40ghz controller.
