and i just found another thing to when the motor is dead and a gun it it wont move but if a help the car move the tires its starts working until i brake!

Check the brushes on the motor. It sounds like they are hung or need to be replaced. Also the comm may need to be trued. Your local hobby shop could do that for you. You said when you touch the red wire it goes? Maybe there is a bad connection between it and the wire. Make sure everything is connected. Hope this helps ya!

thnx man ill do that!
but i dont know why my car is working perfectly! when i brake theres no problem, that thing must be crazy!
another thing, i think my motor is overheating, how can i make my motor run cooler...

[Fafnir]

If your brushes are worn out and the comm needs to be turned there will be more friction between the com and the brushes which means more heat is generated. If your motor is over heating turning the comm and replacing the brushes should help. Also you could add a heat sink or gear down 2 teeth and see if that helps with the over heating. If you wanted to try something simple, see if you can add a hole in your body to help get more air flow over your motor.

that same thing happened with my tyco r/c lambrogini after i was driving it in the dirt,its definitly the motor

Check that wire from the esc. If its a bad connection, then this will cause the bushes to arc and wear out faster. If you replace the bushes without sorting the wire the same could happen again.
