I was driving my on a rough asphalt lot when it rolled over I drove it several feet further then noticed it started twitching,then suddenly nothing.
Here are a few other details:
1.When I went over the antenna tubing pulled clean off the wire.
2.When I held it off the ground and switched it off then on it started behaving erratic and
3.It does not take any signal whatsoever from
the transmitter.

Can any of you guys help me as I am a newbie.
Thanks.
PS. I am in Kingston,Jamaica.

Did you check all of your connections? you might want to call traxxas they've been having problems with esc's and water.

Just pulling the tube off of the antenna wire will not hurt anything. Happens all the time. Get used to that. Get an aftermarket tube. It will stay on better and you can find long ones that hold all or most of the wire. If the wire was broken this could make a difference. If all of the connections are still good, then it sounds more like you could have damage to either the receiver or the speed control. The E-Maxx is usually pretty tolerant of these types of (ab)use, but it is possible to have damage. I would suspect the receiver first. Just my guess. Good Luck.
