Disassemble/Clean Lambo Lavatube 2.0 (with Video!) And I need help for repairs of this (just soldering)

[dayn]

linkin20, is your Lambo Lavatude from L-rider?

 

[Whoopin]

I'm not sure where it is from but after soldering the fire-button works like a gem :3

I got it from one of the bros here

Oh yes by the way;

If you all are curious, the LAMBO LT I got has very poor PCB and wire connection. If you can do soldering, go and re-do. Firstly, the wire wasn't soldered but glued on. Secondly, the PCB is really poor quality. Really poor quality. But re-soldering really makes everything better Just my honest opinions on the Lambo.

bro, shld have taken pic of the PCB before you soldered!

 

[Whoopin]

it totally slipped my mind T___T so sorry!

 

[fantaza]

Its so tight.

use a rubber ended pliers don't use metal end pliers or you will scratch the stainless steel

You have no idea how many people you helped by trying to seek help with ur video.. I hope someone out there will help you fix it....I have been looking for someone to change my stripped threads on my lt and ur video just helped me alot now im doing it myself.....thanks for the vid!!! Maybe you can fix it urself get some silver flux apply a small amount on the wire tip with the back part of a needle... hold the wire to the connection point and heat a lil with a pen tourch soldering kit, its like $8.00 on ebay for the pen tourch...you can also find the silver flux on ebay, Good luck!!

I managed to fix it already

But now it isn't working again not sure why, but glad the video helped you out

You can only unscrew the Top cap if you have a Lambo (made by L-Rider).
If you own a YJ LT 2.0 (not red button, smaller digits on display)...the top cap seems to be glued. It's completely impossible to open it in order to service it...

 

[Vaptor]

Glad to see the top screws off. I'm about to mod the PCB but wasn't sure if the top is pressed on. Thanks.

My lambo has the same button not firing issue. I should have returned it the day i got it since it was intermittent at first now it fires about 1 in 20 tries. I'm a electronics tech and do micro/miniature soldering though so i'll try to do it myself. I just wonder how hard it is to get the electronics out of the tube. Mine doesn't pull out and it looks like its glued and soldered into the tube.

So far using Isoprophyl alcohol and one of my wifes old makeup brushes to clean the inside seems to make it work a little better so what I'm thinking is that the place I bought it from just gave me an old returned Lambo as a new item. Somebody probably leaked a bunch of juice in it before. Everything they sell is open and not in a box so I should have known better than buying this thing but I really needed one that day. When I tried to return it after 1.5 months they told me that it wasn't under warranty even though I was told everything had a 3 month warranty when i bought it as an 89 dollar kit, yes that much. I was told that the manager would give me a call to let me know what they could do, so honoring their warranty wasn't an option and they never called. Guess they just lost me and everyone I know as a future customer. Also one of the 2 batteries that came in the kit stopped working after about 10 recharges so that probably came out of their junk pile as well. I'll be more careful who I buy from in the future for sure.

If you have a red coloured power on button, you can try to unscrew the top of the lambo (a little force is required). Once it's loose use something to push the contact pin down as you unscrew, as forcing might tear the seal under the cap.

There's another video around by some non-english speaking guy on youtube which shows this. Can't find that video now but it was something to do with Lambo and Vivi Nova modification.
