Be sure your not running your truck through water.....or grass that is saturated with moisture as that can damage the electronics. Kinda like....POOF.....now ya see it....now ya dont!

Keep it stored in a dry place....not outside where it can accumulate moisture....room temperature is best.....and when your running it for long periods of time....be sure to let it cool down in between runs so you don't toast the electronics / motors. Heat is the enemy of electronics....PERIOD!!!

The link shows the EVX product. Kinda pricey!!!

It may not be the EVX.....be sure your batteries both in the truck and radio are fully charged. Check for loose connection to the motors....EVX...reciever...etc.

Good Luck!

Status: offline 		A simple test to try is to connect wires from a battery pack straight to one of the motors and see if it turns. Try doing that to both of them. If they run....I would look at the other items in question.

AS for hobby stores near you....Hmmmm.....I wouldn't know since I do not live in your area. However......look at the link for your chamber of commerce listings.
