New problem! Evo turns left and right, go in reverse, but not forward

[pinoyboy]

Specs on car:

-AWD
-Power dash armature in vented case
-ball bearing endbell
-stock fets
-Lithi-ions

I was just driving around the house, when suddenly the car couldn't go forward. The car would still turn and can go in reverse, so the fets and steering servo is okay. So what else did I blow? thanks in advance!

i had the same problem but with reverse and i presonaly dont know what happened but these peoples say that i fried my reverse FETS so maybe you did the same but did the forward

[pinoyboy]

are you serious? I touched them aftet the car wouldn't go forward, and they were only warm. However, if it is, which ones which? They both look fine to me

[gearhead]

i have no clue? i am just replaceing both with better after market fets

[pinoyboy]

oh, that was rhetorical. If thats the case, i'll probably buy the woah nelly. But thats not the problem, I think i'd be more upset!

[pinoyboy]

ok , i think your right. maybe I won't get the woah neally. I think i'll be cheap and find a vendor with fets for the lowest price!

[torredo]

only problem is re-soldeing them back onto the board...
pretty tiny to work on.

[pinoyboy]

yup, I just removed the stock fets. Either way, stacked fets or turbo, its gonna be hard. I'd want the nelly turbo, but isn't that shipped all the way from australia?

Woahnelly I got was from a buddie far down
south in U.S.A but to actually but from
WoahNelly im not quite sure...?

yep, one FET controls each direction. since only one contact needs positive power at a time. so you burned out your forward one. try connectin a 9V battery to your motor, find out which contact is positive for forward, and that'll tell you which FET you burned.
