Exclamation problems with my emaxx

i have a traxxas emaxx all stock...ALL

i have it for a year and i bought it new at tower hobbies

first i run it with 7.2v batteries then i put some 8.4v batteries

so the problem is

my emaxx theres days that he doesnt want to move (anything ...it even doest turn the wheels) so i put new batteires to the control and to the car
......and nothing:-(

but lately my emaxx is running but when my emaxx is like 3 feets away from me he doesnt move

Loose connections somewhere between your batteries and motors?

Loose antenna connection?

Check and re-check all your connections and go from there.

Before switching the entire radio, switch the crystals out and see if it make a difference.

well from what someone said about the battery connectors could be true if the truck is a year old those tamiya connectors could just be plain wore out. I would put some better connectors on the batterys and esc like powerpoles or deans. It would explain why it moves a couple feet and stops because the vibration losins the wires. Also check the antenna on the radio.

if you change plugs go deans or powerpole. Then you will never go back to the stock tamiya plug
