Do the gears catch together nicely ? Or is it kinda loose or too tight ? See if theres a good amount of resistance when turning the wheels, while holding one so the motor pinion turns. Also, a video would help immensely

kk when i spin my back wheels u can see the gears join together but for mine the big white gears seem not to go with the small black gear when i spin the wheels ... and when i spin the wheels its a bit scratchy and rough. For the front wheels my right turn seems to be weaker then my left turn.

There we go, you don't have proper gear mesh. Just change the spacer or pinion (black gear) accordingly. Also tighten the clear gear cover a little. Try that and see how it goes. Xmods never steered evenly on both sides, so I wouldn't worry about it too much unless it's really bad.

Please don't triple post ! And yes I do, just give me yours and I'll add you now. You don't need to buy anything, unless your missing parts. It goes nicely... does it make a smooth sound ? Or still a little rough ?

I'm not sure if the solder is suppose to be there or not, but a simple way of checking if it works, change the motor for a working one. If the motor changed into it makes it works perfectly, then the motor was probably your problem.

I specialize in board repair.

To be clear, is there no response from the motor both forward and reverse when in the car? You keep saying it won't accelerate but I'm not certain if that means it wont accelerate well or at all.

If you have NO throttle but you do have steering it could be a FET issue so let me know.

thhe fetts are ok the motor works nicely. When i say i cant accelerate it means i cant go foward or backwards..... btw i tested the motor on a 9v and it worked nice and my wheels spined nice. im just thinking it could be somthing to do with the main board

Just make sure that when you decide to close it up that nothing is loose and that everything is still in place or else you could potentually break it even more.
