Thanx Edward t, the voltage was at 26.3volts yes it is a 24v battery, a friend also said to remove the traction card it possibly could have dry solder joints, what is the ev100? you speak of? After further investigation this happens all the time with this truck after charging, I used the lift motors cause they were the only thing still usable the forward n reverse were the only things not working after lifting n lowering for a bit to bring down the battery voltage the truck was then drivable :)
