Hi,

I've had one of these so i'll comment.

Right the messed up graphics you speak of is a common fault of one of the
custom surface mount chips failing. You can't get this chip anymore so
you'll have to buy a new board or possibly just the board that has the chip
on. (a Virtual Racing PCB has 3 boards I believe in a stack).

A fully working complete boardset shouldn't cost you more than $50 though so
this isn't too much of a worry.

They are no hydraulics in this machine, it's all controlled via a Compressor
at the rear of the machine. It's common for the Operator to turn this off
(there's an ON/OFF switch on it).

That's it!

/o
