I'm posting this to help my son, who bought his Senton Mega 4x4 about 9 months ago. (We're in Australia.) After being unused for the last two or three months, he took it off the shelf yesterday to give it a run. It wouldn't move, and then the motor started smoking, as well as the ESC becoming very hot. He contacted Arrma, who recommended removing the power module, and checking if there's any resistance to spinning the wheels. However, when the car was last used, enough dirt has got around the power module to effectively glue it in place: it simply cannot be moved. So we're not sure what to do, or how to do it... Is the car or any of its components likely to be at fault? My son has done nothing that the car is not designed for: just taking it out driving over some dirt last year. He's pretty frustrated, as he spent (for him) a lot of money on this RC car. Thanks!
