Hello every one, I just recently purchased my first RC tank. I am new to the hobby and am in need of assistance.

The issue, I got the tank on Friday and ran it today for the first time on the balcony, all was well for the first 15 minutes then the tank just shut down. I powered it off and on and it was running again for a minute and died again. so I thought maybe the battery was low and charged it for three hours and tried again, same thing, after a minute it died.

After investigating the issue I have determined that the on off switch is defective. If I power on the tank and push on the power switch toward the on position the power cycles. So it would seem that the power switch is defective.

so my question, is the switch serviceable or do I need to contact The vendor in Canada or Imex in the US directly

any input is appreciated
