Unhappy can anyone help me??

I took my skyline out on a basketball court lastweekend, rather smooth but obviously atleast one rock, around a corner i flipped it. Checked it out, looked fine, drove for about 10 mins then it stopped workin. If you pull the trigger the motor starts to move then stops maybe rotates once. Any ideas??

Remove the rear end assembly from the chassis and disassemble the whole thing... All the way down to the bearings... I hope that this helps out some...

I have already done that. Its not that the rear end is frozen or anything like that. I detached the motor and it still only turns once.

Did you switch motors to see if it's your board or just the motor?
Some dirt may be trapped inside the motor.

I had that problem with one of my 25 turn motors.
I took it apart and seen that I had heavy comm wear(the top of the motor where the brushes touch)
I didn't fix it just replaced it.

You can get a stage2 from me for cheap.
Send me a email

Did you reat the post where he said he already took it apart? I don't think so.

Have you tried fresh batteries? If so, it's boinked. Time for a new one.

Just think of it as an opportunity to get that TinyRC Pro Mod CF chassis and get some REAL electronics in there.
