xmod problems

[xmodsforever]

ok so yesterday i was playing with my xmod scion and i hit a counter(not on the counter leaning up against the wall) and i hit it. well it fell down and landed on my car it was running just fine yesterday but when i try to get it to go today it just sits there when i pick it up off the floor the wheels spin but i put it back on the ground and it just sits there

have you tried batteries? ( nothing to do with the crash ) but that could be a reason
maybe the motor has been crushed - pushed harder into the body and the gears arent binding properly

take it apart and check the dog bones and gears

I second this option...plus it give you a good chance to re-oil all those parts...
Any steering issues?

probably the best idea check the gears for smushed or flattened gears

also check the motor cradle for any cracks, and i mean cheack every part of it, i've had ones that crack and take out a huge chunk of plastic under the motor

yea i would have to agree with everyone else, if there's no binding anywhere, or any place that would have more than normal friction.
i would start to look at more of an electrical issue, from what i read a board type object fell on ur car.... maybe you burned out a FET , i know i when i had a damaged FET on my gen 1 it was very slugish and had no top end. i got some mini-z fets for is and its was slightly better than normal... so that may be a problem

it wasn't the dog bones or any of those a screw on the bottom of the car had somehow hot loose and got stuck on something and i got a new motor and gears and now it just works fine. one more question what type of batteries i should get i have batteries but i only get 5 10 minutes out of them.

5-10 minutes is normal.. try some RC AAA batteries like these... you can up it to about 15-18
