What do you mean by " my gen 1 starts " ? Do you mean the wheels center but there you can't accelerate/brake/reverse or steer ? If thats the case, you might have fried your range. If you can steer, then you have fried your FETs most likely. Also check over your connections if their loose or anything. Please also use the search function, this has been brought up many times for both the Gen 1 and Evo series.

Your Evo does the same as the Gen 1 ? Did you read the rest of my post ? Check your FETs for burnt marks, bubbles or anything that doesn't look right.

Edit: Did you check that your batteries are not dead and has some juice ?

Really ? Did you really read the last bit of my first post ?

You will need to purchase new ones, either stack the new ones or leave them unstacked and you will need to be really good at soldering. Theres many places to get new FETs and tutorials on how to stack them. Read around the electronic section to find some information. Honestly, I'm tired of answering questions that has been brought up MANY times in the past and people are just too lazy to search for answers.

yea atomicmods sells fets and you can find many on e-bay and atomicmods also had a labor server so you can send in your car and they fix everything but it gets pretty expensive

and welcome to Xmodsource

Don't double post and stop by the rules to read them and understand them.

Yes, you can. But that would be more of a hassle. Needing to take them off, then putting them back on. Would be much easier to get new ones. That way, you have can also have two working Xmods.

We pretty much figured out your problem, and the crystal you have in the car is for the controller. And to fit that body on, you need it set in to a 94mm wheelbase [ longest setting ] and have the front clip and Gen 1 rear clip on it.

Your range is most likely to be fried.

Just out of curiosity.
What is your "Range" setting on the controller set at?
It has a little dial (think..) spin it to the right to the "MAX" side.
