EVO car help

[Hrnts69]

Well, after getting back into XMODS after a 5 month "vacation", i bought a G35 2days ago! So far i ran about 275-350ish laps on my carpet oval. Then i bought the Race Tuning Suspension kit and Foam tires for it 2day. Before i swithced over to the foam tires i ran about 25 laps before the batts went dead. After i got done switching the tires and build a side air dam for the body, now the car wont even "turn on"! Its like theres no power even getting to the car! The car dont even "twitch" whenever the transmitter turns on!
So if you guys know how to fix this problem, or if i cant fix it, is there anybody that i can send my car to that can fix it for a set price???

Thanks

hey for $5 i can check it out, diagnose and/or fix it, and send it back to you. shipping is included. Its really hard to know the problem because of no pics. its better to look at the car in person rather than over the internet

1) Check that your batteries don't have gunk on them. Make sure the button top and the flat end don't have anything on them. Also, check the battery holder if they have gunk too. And make sure that the batteries are actually touching the leads.

2) Check that the EP board itself is turning on

3) Check if the wires from the EP board to the battery pack are soldered on well

4) Double check your batteries aren't dead

well, did you do anything at all to fool with the board? there's a bunch of things but here are a few basic things to check:

1) try some new batteries in it
2) make sure the batteries are in the holder correctly
3) make sure all the batteries are making contact in the holder
3) check to see that you're getting voltage to the board
4) make sure you have the same crystals in the car and the controller
5) make sure there are no direct shorts on the board (you can do this by performing a continuity test at the battery wires on your board)
6) make sure the antenna is secured and making contact with the board

these are dumb basic things, but i just wanna make sure you didn't forget to check everything

when you flip the switch to the on position, does the servo center itself? does it do anything?

what motor are you running in it?
do you have regular batteries in it or lithium?

When i turned the switch on, the servo did not center itself! I put new batteries in the car and transmitter, cleaned the battery holder, remounted the atena, and still nothing!

Now, all I can say if make sure that the black and white wires going from the EP board to the battery holder are good as in they aren't not soldered or broken, somehow.

hmm...well, looks like the only thing theres left to do is test voltage to the board to make sure you got juice. you may have gotten a lemon lol, i've had a couple of xmods out of the box that weren't too great. but honestly, for nothing to be working at all you'd have to have blown steering and motor fets and i don't see them going out at the same time unless somehow the board overheated.

Well, iam gonna send it to superinfinity, and hes gonna try to fix it! Iam nt for sure what everything is on a XMOD! So y nt let a person with years do it???
