sometimes a hammer will do the job, in this case you might try the subtle approach. open the car and see the metal strips for the motor and the lights. see if there is contact with both. so if fixed a lancia delta once. on the other hand, it's a bit silly that almast every scx you buy is noisy, has no no light/or sometimes working lights and is an overall shame that i t ever left the plant..........but, I still buy them. RAWRAW RAAAAAW!!!

why is is so many times just the left or the right side. and sometimes they stop and then do it again after a pothole or bump in the track

there is no solid connection, two flat pieces of copper making contact, or not. that's the strange idea of scx. at first I thought.......aha, lets glue them together but there is a reason for everything, so.....didnt do it

at what voltage?
