Smartech Electric Nissan Skyline: I Need help
I have an Electric Smartech Nissan Skyline that ran like a dream...until a few days ago. I was racing through a vacant parking lot when suddenly I hit a small pothole and the front left wheel snapped loose. I easily re-connected it, but now at full throttle, it only runs at 1/2 the speed that it used to.
Is there any way this can be repaired?

Yeah sounds like something is missing. If it is, you'll notice that wheel spinning alot slower than all the others. You didnt see anything fall off when you hit, did you? Can you post some pics?

This car is four wheel driven. I took a closer look and found that the front right driveshaft is missing. It must have popped off when the wheel snapped loose from the wishbone.
Now I have to take it to the Hobby Shop and see if they can dig up a replacement for me
Thanks again guys

Guys, I looked everywhere and so far no one seems to have this (dogbone) part. If anyone here can recommend a place that would have it, believe me it would really be appreciated!
