  1. um i think it is broken

  2. you can check if the wires are connected good. Or your moter is starting to fail

  3. batterie dead? which car is it? check wires. it happens to me when i have a bad batterie or wires are loose

  4. i had the same problem with a r/c call road ponder and it is very old i got it from some one. what you need to do is open it and one of the gears could have a split in it and you need to buy a new one and the part cost less that 5 dollars and you get it at mark twain hobby lobby or a place where you can build your own r/c car. also you open only the bottom to the gears do not go thought the wires unless there is no other way. you will need to also buy a tool to get the gear on. you should not be able to put the new gear on with your hands because then it will be to big. also bring the broken gear to the store to get a match and it could be a little different.

  5. You might have a bad connection with either your battery, speed control, radio receiver, or motor. make sure that the batteries in you radio are charged as well as the battery in your car.
