Hi guys,

I'm hoping someone in here has a solution to my R2D2 not working properly. I've stripped the droid down at least 4 times now and checked/ double checked that every plug and wire is correctly labeled/ installed. I initially put it down to a faulty MCU so I ordered a new one and have fitted it but it's still doing the same. Everything else seems to work except for the head motor

Does anyone have any other suggestions as this issue is really starting to get me down. I've been very methodical during the build, checking my work at every stage and it's such a disappointment when this is the end result.

I've attached a video link to show the problem.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Sean

You may want to request a new head motor from c/s.

Regards
