thanks....now for the other board, thought i had it figured out, i think i'm wrong

are the yellow and brown wires the motor mounts? if so is the yellow the motor positive?

The brown wire appears to be connected to M+, whether that's correct or not I can't tell from the picture. The simplest way to find out is take the motor leads loose, then connect them to a 1.5V battery and see which way the wheels want to go. Whichever lead is on the battery + end when it goes forward should go to the M+ connection on the board.

If at first you don't succeed, throw it in the spare parts box.

so the LED leads are the orange and red wires for sure?

SUCCESS!! well mostly, got the new board in place and tested it, I gotta turn the motor leads around but she runs heck of a lot better on DC now. I'm very very very very very happy now haha.

Thanks for all the help guys!

Shes up and running, headlight got dimmer but it seems at a more prototypical brightness now so thats a unexpected plus.
