Zips and Me don't get along well

[Leit]

I got my Zipzap today and ran it for a bit, it seem to run for less than 30secs with any motor, the proceed to stop doing anything even tho it said it had a charge. I took it apart to look at the innards of it and saw nothing. I was wondering if anyone knew of anything that might be a problem, or a fix

Thanks

It it was only 30 seconds then you have a problem. But if it ran for a couple of minutes and then died...That's NORMAL.

It's a BRAND NEW car, with a brand new battery. These batteries have a 'break-in' period (Usually 5 to 10 runs) before you start seeing 'peak' performance.

So if you exaggerating a little and got a bit better than 30 seconds, run it a few more times...It'll get better. But if it really was only 30 seconds, then go ahead and get another one.

Nah it was about 30secs bordering on 45max, Went back and forth on my coffee table 3times max and dead, then it just seemed to get worse and worse, I changed motors and tried it seeing if it was just the nos motor draining it, and both the stock and the performance motor did 30secs before it would just barely roll forward. I ordered a bit so I will give it and a another zipzap a try.

Thanks for the help gain..

Besides Tech-lord:D

took it apart again an postioned everything got it running again and timed it, 35secs first time, 17second, 23 third, then I was looking at the battery seeting and snapped one of the copper control wires.
