Default Repair R/C Car Reciever
On 20 Dec 2006 17:55:30 -0800, put finger to
keyboard and composed:

I have heard from other hobbyists
mentioned when they have the powered on transmitter antenna
accidentally touch the antenna would fry the car's receiver; and I have
heard they fix the receiver by replace an inductor. I guess the
inductor on the circuit board usually begin with "L"? Do you think I
can check if the inductors are blown without investing with a probe or
occiloscope by using just a DMM?

A simple DMM will only tell you if the inductor is open circuit. It
cannot distinguish between a good inductor and one with shorted turns.
