Car twitching and loss of power after impact.


Recommended Posts

Hi, 

 

New member and new to RC. 
 

I crashed a REMO 1/16 RC Smax car into the footpath which caused the car to loose a lot of its power immediately. It became a little twitchy when driving.

 

When the car is switched off it doesn't want to move freely like it did before the impact.

 

Its a 4wd vehicle with a brushed motor.

 

I am not sure if it is a mechanical or electrical error.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thank you.
Ross

Try removing the motor and then seeing if the drive train moves freely as it did before the impact.

 

If it doesn't then you have damaged something in the drive train and that will need fixing.
