Default RE: Help Tornado S30 Wont move!!

Good to see you're back up and running! This happened to mine about a week after I got it. Was a different problem, but I figured I'd share for anyone else who runs into it. What happened to mine was the same condition, just driving and all of a sudden nothing. I found that it had actually stripped the main (1st) gear in the center housing. I guess I had not meshed the motor to the gears tight enough and after running for a while it was wearing down the teeth on the gear. The teeth were all flat and wasn't making contact with the spur gear. I replaced the gear and all was good again. 6 months later with no problems. Except for broken suspension pieces from driving at my work. (Auto shop with lots of large objects that don't move.) But aside from my errors, I am very happy with this vehicle. It's my first real rc car and first nitro anything. I love it!
