alright, well im sure you guys might get this question alot but, here is the issue

my brother got an xmod for christmas, it was cool, but he stopped playing with it for a while, until now. when he got it back out, charged the batteries up and stuff, it just simply didnt work.

the batteries are all new, including the 9volt on the controller

i would check if there was power in the thing but my voltmeter is broken :(

all of the leads and stuff are still soldered on, nothing loose(that happened to a friend of mine)

im really new to xmods, but im not new to electrical work, if this needs to be resolved with soldering and other things of that work its not a big deal, if anyone can help me out i would really appreciate it

p.s. its an acura rsx.. if it really matters

whenb i got my rsx i had the same problem. if you put a new motor in it and tighten the screws to tight the motor will not turn. so che all the screws the other problem i had was that the batteries kept getting negativly charged. if it doesent work, what i did was talk to the manager about exchangeing it for another one. sometimes rat shack managers are kewl with it.even though the connections are still soldered it might have come undone on the mother bord. try the batts then try talking to the managers. dot take no for an awnser. if you have any more questions check out my website at www.freewebs.com/atomicmoddesign and there iz a guest book that i check daily leave a poast and ill get bck to you. there iz also a way to email me questions. :firedevi:

Take the motor out, leave it plugged in, and see if it runs. If it doesn't, switch motors, and see if that helps. Could be a loose connection.
