Okay so today I fired up the old t-maxx its been monthes since she has even rolled over; so I start her up. Today here in MI its all melted and muddy what fun. So at first I was just going to screw around on the snow banks then I got bored and migrated to the mud:D. Then when I got bored with that I found this sweet ramp that got the t-maxx like 4 ft. in the air and sailed it like 6 ft. Now here is the question I landed one time and heared a big crunch and then the motor just quit; I looked and seem to have any apparent damage so I kept driving. When I was driving it though there was a clicking noise I just ignored. What could this be, and if your wondering the 4 wd still worked after the crash. So after that I got another tank in and then it stalled and there was a car coming down my street so I drove it to the side and it hit the curb I went to restart it and the gp light on my ez-start wasn't on. So I fiddled with it for about 15 minutes and nothing. What could the possble problems be with that. All in all it was a great day, I even took some pics of the after math.

Trust me it doesn't look bad but it is.
 
check your tranny gears, you might have ripped the teeth off of one of your gears, it has happened to me many times.
 
Looks good to me, kinda how my crawler looked last weekend after the comp...if your GP light is not lighting up it is usually because it is bad and needs to be replaced, as for the noise I would try spinning things with the truck off and see if you can narrow down where it is coming from...

I found out the problem was with the gp the filiment broke so I replaced the gp and the light came on. As for the tranny I will look into it.
