Mine is the "ready to run" style with the controller built in... testing the pickup requires the whole thing to be taken apart.

besides, I know it has spark- The car starts and runs again now- it's just that it's still not running right...

I'm going to tear into it this afternoon - I'll post whatever I find (if anything)
