HSP xstr pro stops working

[.:überfranz:.]

hello everybody!
my name is Franz and I have absolutely little clue about RC cars at all...
I bought it to my son several years ago, now we found it again in our cellar and we were going to use it again.

We could start it and it works, but after a little while it stops working... the steering works anyway. I first thought it was the batteries, but both the controller and the car are fully charged...

If I restart the car it will work again for a little while, like one minute and then stop again... everything looks fine and the fan is on, so I have no clue about what it could be... any idea? thank you

What type of battery are you running? My guess is nhml? If it's been sitting for two years...it may be bad....or you can try to cycle the battery if you have a decent charger and see if you can bring the battery back to life.
