The front wheel motor didn't have power and the beast was more bark than bite. Turned out the motor was fine and responded to the working rear motor when swapped.

I had hoped the problem was some kind of debris keeping this plug from fully seating. The batteries were fine and so were the motors but still an error code.

There's the culprit and an easy fix. The motor wire must have gotten yanked loose but the plug gave way instead of something else harder to fix.

It's in amazing shape for however long it's been up towards the volcano, sitting along the road and it's amazing it didn't get smashed by Rex.

Probably not a smart idea to cover wet mud with wood so I was back today to button it up with trim and a little more cob.
