we all hope the used controller will bring it back to life.
running with next to no oil for an unknown period of time is a concern.
plates do lock up (wheel hop when reversing and turning tight circles) and does'nt when fuse is pulled, so hoping its a controller fault forcing it to go full on all the time.
fingers and toes crossed
