I think I can speak for everyone who reads this. We need more information. What truck, what electronics, what radio, what happens when it doesn't work, just stops? More info, please.

its the all the stock electrics from a duratrax evader st.
i hit the throttle alittle and then let go.
i hit it again and nothing happens

When you say nothing happens do you mean it won't turn the wheels either? Is it totally dead?

yeaitsme

yea its totaly deads the motor doesnt even try to turn.

Try to give a lil shove to the truck when you hit the throttle.
If it works, you have yourself a hung brush.
Clean the motor and the brushes. You may need to change the brushes depending on their condition.

When you tap the motor does it go then? Possibly the brushes are hanging up. Does the steering servo still work?

yeaitsme

yea when i push it it'll work.
so what that mean?

and yes, the steering still works

Cutting the com if it needs it, and replacing the brushes. Check the comm if it looks burnt see if a hobby shop or friend will cut it for you.
