I have a Rlaarlo Omni-terminator and today it stopped driving a few times. When I press the trigger I could hear a faint motor sound and steering would still work. After slapping it a few times it went back to normal (see video) what’s happening? The ground was a bit moist from the rain could that affect it? Sorry if it’s already answered. I did a quick search and couldn’t find an answer. I’m new to RC cars but have build drones before.

I always hated probing Lemo connectors to test for shorts and continuity with all the pins close to each other. I’ve build jigs with female connectors but you need one per connector, I’ve use needle extensions but they still don’t stay put. I ended up getting some small brass tubes and soldered them to some wires with heat shrink on the outside and bam! Now I can reliably test pins one by one regardless of the connector size!
