STICK DRIFT on Luigi's Kart - Mario Kart LIVE : Home Circuit - QUICK FIX
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- Hi, through misuse I have managed to get permanent stick drift on Luigi's Kart. Obviously Luigi is not happy about this, but I have an idea on how to fix it. It is a bodge job, but until the potentiometers are available for sale it will have to do. At least it will get him back racing again, and not going round in circles.
So take 10 minutes out of your day, have a nice drink, sit back, and enjoy.
Many thanks, Vince :-)
I learn a lot from this guy, instead of school!. Great Job! :D
Seem like the offset is wrong because the wiper was turned while disengaged from the steering gear. It could be as simple as a mechanical misalignment. Measure the resistance and turn the pot until it is roughly centered between the two extreme resistance values. Then center the steering and reassemble. There should be an auto ranging or calibration routine to run as analog values will drift over time. You can also measure a healthy cart to see what its values are and thus what the onboard computer is expecting for a neutral steering angle. Even if you replace the pot, you will have to electrically and mechanically align them, or calibrate for it to work properly. Hook your meter up and sweep the travel. If it has proportional resistance and a smooth range of values it is fine!
Thanks Tiporari :-)
@@Mymatevince I was going to say the same thing as Tiporari, but I was going to add if that didn't work and the resistance could still be somewhat changed by the Variable resistor then that resistor you added could be left in circuit and then with the Variable Resistor turned so that the wheels are aligned to go straight, ergo both sides of resistance should match the other if you know what I mean..
yeah it seems unlikely the carbon contact in the pot would be damamges, like Tiporari said its likely a misalighnment, so if you were jumping to of ramps etc the 'gear' connecting tot he pot could have slipped, he's right when he says to measure the resistance on both extremes and then adjust it to be half way between both values and then reinstall the mechanical parts and test.
also as for resistors if you wire two in series they value doubles say 10k+10k=20k but if you wire them in parallel use this formula by substituting in the resistors you are using:
5k+10k = 1/5k + 1/10k = 3.3k... you can add as many extra resistors but alway add + 1/Resistorvalue....
if you're only using 2 resistors in parallel its even easier as you can just do (R1 x R2) / (R1+R2) so that would be say (10k x 10k) / (10k + 10k) = 5k
I only mention that as it might help you get those exact values of resistors you may not have but need for a repair in a fix it video
I always wondered why Luigi says Lefts-a Go!
LMAO ba-dum tssssssss
Haha, very good Steve ;-)
@@Mymatevince so, do you think it'll be fine if I get a set of the kart?

🤦♂️🤣
This is awesome, I can actually understand you since I started taking my engineering class. Learned a lot!
Nice Fix Vince! I had a similar problem with a Drone controller once, I ended up using a Variable Resistor (Trimmer Pot) to fine tune the resistance. it would probably work well in this case.
Yeah, that would have worked better, thanks Ker Rin :-)
yeah a 25 turn trimmer pot would work a treat
man, Nintendo should really open a "drift" division on their development team.
I hope the director of that division will be named Takumi Fugiwara
LMAO :o)
They already can fix joycons if you send them in without spending a single penny or dollar.
@@christopher32074 Only in North America though as far as I'm aware.
@@ChrisMX9 Nice Initial D reference lmao
Poor Luigi always has something going on, be it his jump or being scare of Boo. Thank you Sir!
Good job once again. I am really enjoying this new series! Keep 'em coming!
Evening Vince! Awesome content dude! Always learning and have used your videos to aid my own console fixes! Good lad
That's a cool fix actually. Tricking the Pentigiometer(?) Into thinking it's more on the right hand side.
"I`m Luigi and I approve this video"
Hey vince, I watch very often and I love em, and I think you should return to the simple stuff like the video about how to increase storage or something along those lines. Keep up the good work vince and hope the best for you!
Nintendo and drift having some great relationship they never leave it😂😂😂.
12k and 1.2k in series would have given you ~13k
people don’t seem to understand using several resistors to create different values. I use it quite often. 2 or 3 mostly.
@@valtteriairola best way to do it is to put a 10 turn pot in parallel, adjust it to centre the kars wheels, then measure its resistance. Then find or "build" (using multiple resistors) a fixed resistor of the same value.
Yes, line up smaller value resistors in series to add up to the value you want, instead of buying a spectrum of specific values of resistors. Only downside is that it takes up more space as you add resistors.
Or you can use a small 15k~20k potentiometer and turn it until you get a perfect alignment.
Hope you're gonna reach 1Million Subscribers!
I think this a mechanical problem. The mechanical connection to your potentiometer has slipped.
This fix will take away the linear characteristic of the potentiometer and your steering becomes inaccurate. 100% left will not be where it was before and 100% right will not be where it was before.
I see Luigi was Driving abit Tipsy again.. DOnt Drink an Drive :O
Hi love the vids
Recently I have a problem with the back wheels. It's not that big of a deal but there's have been squeaking each time I go forward or turn around side to side. And it really bothers me. Any fixses you can recomended to me?
What you need to know, are basics about Connecting resistors parallel and in series. You can mix both but calculating total resistance inst that Simple. Anyway if connect in series you add resistance if parallel then its adding but inverted values. For example two 10k resistors are: 1/10k + 1/10k=2/10k and then inverting IT back you get 10k/2 which is 5k.
Hope its somehow clear😀
Cheers
Greg
It was super simple but I loved this fix! Did you figure out the fix by yourself? That's genius!
Haha, thank you. I did BUT it might already be a well known trick :-) I used a resistor to replace a laser pot in a PSP quite a while ago so that gave me the idea :-)
You can have a 18k + a 47K in parallel to get 13k.
Or you could use a 1k in series with a 12k
You don't need a "perfect resistor" you can mix and match series and parallel to get the "perfect value"

Thanks Thomas, embarrassingly I didn't think/know about the series or parallel option. Now I do remember being told about this before from other videos but it didn't sink in. Hopefully I will remember next time :-)
That’s pretty cool. Maybe a potentiometer from a joy con would work also
what do you do when you fix something or do you keep it or give it away
The pot was probably fine but something was out of whack mechanically from impact. Rc cars have this kinda stuff happen when servos skip teeth internally. I'd imagine you could have just disassembled and re-entered everything to fix it instead of adding resistors to account for the pot being in the wrong center point.
you wouldn't know how to find/order parts for this, like say the "bronze bearing" used on the rear axel with the white plastic washer?
These things are right up your alley, mixing game systems with RC cars. Have you seen Mike from Virtual Reality Oasis' new video on driving one in VR? It looks fun.
They are Chris :-) No I haven't seen Mike's video but it sounds great. I could imagine a fair bit of motion sickness from that but it sounds fun :-)
Vince out of curiosity did you try using the potentiometer from a stick box from a controller as a replacement? Its hard to tell based on size from the video but it looks like it might fit/be a suitable replacement; also 12k resistor and a 1k resistor will get you a 13k resistor
I can’t believe it’s already drifting after only a week 😂
lol. Vince did say that it wasn't a Nintendo issue at the beginning. I understand what he means by he was doing things he shouldn't have been doing. Within 2 hours of opening the new box, my 6 yo great nephew was already trying to drive down stairs. Ack! He wouldn't even let me set up races. He just wanted to wander thru the house with it and race against a second person not using the augmented reality track. I will have more time to figure out how to use both karts tomorrow while he is at school. ;). I will be educating myself, not playing...
Hello, I've been using your videos/tutorials for a few weeks now and have managed to fix 3 switches, one for me and the Mrs and two for my girls, I now have another one that was originally ours and the charging port was broken. I replaced it using your video again and now it charges! Still doesn't work though? The backlight comes on but the screens dark still, no icons or menu nothing...tried a hard reset a few times now..nothing, don't even get a signal when in the dock.
Do you have any ideas as to what I can try next?
Thank you
I got a Luigi car and it some times act as if it doesn’t want to turn to the Left or if you on the track it will go a totally whole different way then the track… jus got it so I’m hoping it not broke. Already… thanks in advance for any advice give Lonni
Clever of Vince to use the bait phrase "Stick Drift" because all the kids have these problems on their Switches...
To clarify, there's nothing wrong with the controller on your console, but rather that your physical kart has been misaligned. Not the same issue, but I'll still call it "Stick Drift".
The equation to find the values of resistor needed is derived from the equation
1/Rt = (1/R1) + (1/R2)
Since you already know Rt = 5.049K and R1= 8.834K
the equation can be transposed to
1/R2 = (1/Rt) - (1/R1)
or
1/R2 = (1/5.049) - (1/8.834)
or
1/R2 = 0.198 - 0.1132
which equals
1/0.08486
or
11.784K
note that because all the figures were in kilo I didn't need to convert them to ohms
That is great PDS, thanks for sharing this. Better than using trial and error trying out different values. Thank you :-)
@@Mymatevince No problem. series resistors are Rt= R1 + R2
and parallel resistors are 1/Rt = (1/R1) + (1/R2)
for capacitors it's the other way round
for series it's 1/Ct = (1/C1) + (1/C2)
and for parallel it's Ct = C1 + C2
@@pds8475 Nice one PDS :-)
Finally thanks vince you so help me with this kart
Excellent!!! =D You do realise you could have put 2 resistors in series there! eg. If 12K wasn't enough, 1K + 12K = 13K and that may have been perfect. By far the easier way - get some small variable resistors (potentiometer - maybe 22K?), then you could litterally turn the dial and watch the wheels straigten! =D The other point - and I wondered this earlier in the video, but noticed others pointing out what I had discounted - maybe the wiper isn't in the correct position vs where the steering is pointing to. ie. Did it crash into a wall and jump across one way? Perhaps its centred when it should be set to the right (or left)?
Hey Chris, I should have realised BUT I didn't!!! I have been told about series and parallel resistors in the past but it didn't sink in. Next time I will remember at least the series resistors as that one seems simple. Well it is possible as these karts have been tested way beyond what 'normal' use would dictate.... BUT the little white triangle that sits in the pot has a cut out in it to only allow it to fit one way, so it can't even go 180 degrees round. Maybe though the wiper itself has moved from the middle bit that slots into the white triangle and it off-centre. I know it confusing reading this but it is not like the Xbox or PS4 analog sticks that can be put in 180 degrees round as it is just a rectangle, this has to be put in only one way. Thanks for the tips/help :-)
if the carbon tracks are anything like the xbox pad analogs you might be able to clean with alcohol ?
Hey vince, getting my switch for christmas. 8 more weeks!!
Excellent :-)
Same
Vince why don't use 1k + 12k in series resistors?
What happened to the potentiometer that caused this? I assumed a potentiometer was simply a variable resistor that could be adjusted such as a trim pot (potentiometer)? Was it physically broken or electrically shorted?
Hey Vince
Was wondering if you would be interested in trying to fix a non working Nintendo Virtual Boy?
I don't believe there is too much wrong with it, but due to how rare they are in the UK, I thought you might like to give it a go?
Your values from both sides of the Pot add up to around 13.8, wouldn't that be the value that is needed or is it just a close coincidence?
Dam now I’m worried about mine I don’t take it out side but I do have giving it ramps should I stop that
he said at the beginning of the video it's not a Nintendo problem. It's his own problem when he took them apart. So don't worry about it
I wouldn't worry, I was letting my ones drop off ramps and much worse. You should be fine :-)
Also Drift in the karts ... Nice Nintendo >: v .. My Mate VINCE are you amazing.. I saved your tutos for a future. Regards
perhaps an trim potentiometer
Wow, that was exactly the kind of video I was hoping for. My Kart is running fine for the most part, definitely straight enough to not bother me. But I noticed that on 200cc it is consistently pulling tighter right curves than it does left curves. I was wondering if this was a mechanical misalignment, giving it less traction on one wheel, but also possibly an electrical inbalance. I might just give this a try at some point.
I had the same problem for me to turning the right wasn't as sharp as to the left and the reason was that hair sat between the axle and the steering piece at the left side
Had to opened up the front of the kart to get rid of the hair that was stuck
@@Spacelus2092 So was the hair in your case inside the car body, not on the outside?
@@ruolbu at the outside at the inside of the wheel where the wheel connects with the kart but to get rid of the hair i had to openen the kart up because i no longer could get the hair out without pulling off the wheel ( the yellow piece)
@@Spacelus2092 I was trying to pull off the yellow wheel, but stopped, fearing it might break something. Do I need to disassemble the car just to pop off the wheel? :/
thanks for the feedback by the way.
@@ruolbu yes and no thanks
If you can can you make a video on how to play minecraft on nintendo switch lite
All good Mate 👍
Hallo Vince. You can use a 20kOhms smd potentiometr instead of a resistor. thanks to this you can set the exact value as you need.
Thanks for the info! I have just purchased a Vishay one on eBay to play around with. I can see how having some with different values could be useful for various different future fixes. Thank you :-)
Its realy fun to see how you grow and have lurn so mutch
we i watch you old video and now you know so mutch more
keep it up like the video's its puur and its show somtimes its not that hard to fix somthing
and we dont trow it away we got to mutch junk (tras) in the world
im italian (i don't speak english sorry), bel video fortunatamente a me non e successo per se succedera faro come hai fatto te, una domanda, non ho capito come ti e successo?
Hello, i have the same problem. For me, it helped to simply restore the kart to the factory settings in the game options. Regards
Thanks for sharing :-)
If you have a spare Xbox360 controller you can find similiar potentiometer used on both bottom analog triggers.
I don't have a switch and I am stil watching but no problem me watching with my dad volume all then way up so that he can know that I need one it actually working try it
Oh you are the best
No pressure
Just record "buy my son a Switch" and play it on loop while he sleeps.
Is it the same process with the mario one?
lol, i dont get it but how did someone acedentally break something 4 days in
Is it just my switch because I cant scroll down and it's really annoying pls make a vid on
isn't the potentiometer trimmable/adjustable?
Hey can u do how to deep clean a xbox one please 🙏
Nice one vince
Can you do this without taking it apart?
What is the music for your intro?
Why couldn't you just put another potentiometer in circuit and dial in your perfect resistor value?
Well done buddy
Is there a reason the controller for a drone wouldn't work after a couple of years of unuse? Changed the batteries out etc but still nothing. What would cause this?
The dirt can cause problems when it was unused even if that part is clear
Does this only happen with luigi???
Can you do a htc vive setup
Hi i love your Videos
Can help me fix the back wheels of my Mario
How did you manage to do that ?
Printed Service manual book ??????? For technician Like old candy bar phone

I thaught the title was sick drift
Have you tried cleaning the pot with IPA? Maybe it should do the trick
I didn't on this one as I think it is more likely to be damage than dirt/wear, I should have tried it in the video though to be thorough :-)
@@Mymatevince you are right, it's probably wear, since it's perfectly clean inside.
So clever!
How Many More Videos until you’ve reached 1,000?
You can try and take the potentiometer apart and move the wiper back to the middle
Hi Vince how are u
Good thanks Galactic :-)
nice fix
For those having kart connection issues: ua-cam.com/video/WV_87-lANM0/v-deo.html
Maybe try a variable pot
Cheers vince if you can find a 15 k smd pot you can solder on to the board and trim the steering centre position
I used to race model cars and the RC transmitter controls had a similar thing under the sticks
Cheers, I just bought a 20K SMD pot of eBay :-)
Before buying these I thought these would have had a trim under them to adjust the steering just like the cheap RC cars. My Tamiya ones have the trim under the sticks like the ones you used to race :-)
@@Mymatevince that should work,just trim it to suit the central position on the steering and your off to the races
Keep making your content vince I’m always tuned in to a new notification from your channel
3 years later no switch three birthdays no switch three Christmases no switch this is so sad
instead of complaining about it go out and do the new thing called GET A JOB.
@@GhostReaper2043 not complaining just joking lol
@@GhostReaper2043also I can't get a job because of this thing called Covid. I just started a job, but I did it for 3 days then got let off. So take some things as a joke
If you had put the 1.2K and the 12K in series you would have ended up with 13.2K. Probably just about perfect.
you should unsolder it before measuring ideally.
Hello vince:-)
Vince help me I don't feel right - Luigi
Waranty ?
You needed a 13k resistor but didn't have one yet you had a12k and a 1k2 resistors. Join them in series to give 13k2. Close enough
Thanks Ian...I didn't realise at the time. I also have 1K resistors, I know now though ;-)
Cool
You can wire 2 26k in parallel to get 13k.
Nintendo should starting rally cars
Sweet
Well that's a fix above my pay grade
Luigi was doing the wrong drift
It's Mario Kart, you're supposed to drift to gain more speed
Hope I get a heart again lol
You're 5th
Boom!!!
Wow this is funny
@@actuallysaif wassup
@@Azkey wassup
Luigi is a terrible driver. He got caught under the couch here and I had to admonish him severely. Luigi just said; Heya. My steering, she's a pull to the left. I no lika. How 'bout a parallel resistor to adjusta down to 13k, no?
Tf do you mean with Quick Fix? Maybe quick for someone with if you degree in electrical engineering.
thanks mate
Idk drifting sounds kinda cool on the kart
Trust me it *SUCKS*
I know you like fixing things. But with that being so new and has a warranty why cant you send it to Nintendo to get it fixed instead of doing the resistor mod
On this one I could just take it back to the shop and get a replacement or refund, but I have used these incorrectly... let them drop of high ramps and shaken to bits outdoors and taken them apart so it wouldn't be fair that the shop/Nintendo should suffer for my misuse. If it had failed though normal use then 100% I would take them back.
As you say I also like fixing things (or trying) and this resistor mod working 95% is more fun than having a 100% working kart :-)
