big problem w/ Bit Char-G

[Killah Cam]

Hi. Currently I own the Initial D Kit with an added 3.0 motor. Yesterday, I accidently dropped the car. It started to run slower than usual. Now, the gears would spin but the wheels wouldn't. It'll only move about an inch then the wheels would stop. I've read online to try cycling. I've done that but no luck. I also heard about "straightening the wires". I was confused about that one. What should I do? I don't wanna go out and order another one. Thanks.

try and get your 3.0 replace but before that try it in another bit thats all i can help you sorry

I tried using my 1.0 motor again. I think thats got slower too...but I'm not sure since I swapped it out for the 3.0 right away. Any other advice. Thanks Babykiller.

try another gear set, sometimes when you dropped the car, the axle slightely bent.

try seeing if the little metal tab on the side of the motor is making full contact with the tab on the chasis.

mine did that too.check and see if the axle is loose on the chassis. the groove was worn on mine from changing gear sets so much.

Thanks for the help guys. Yeah, my axle wiggles around a little bit. I think I'll try to use the match method to fix it. If this doesn't work, I'll buy a gear set. Thanks.

the match trick should work, cuz it worked for me(actually i was the one who wrote the post on it). buying a gear set won't make any difference it terms of the axle coming out or not since the axles are the same size as the original ones.

the point of buying a new gearset is if the original one is bent not because it wiggles or falls out easily.......
