One of the wheels doesn't work
We see issue like that repeating over and over, so...
Try to track the wheel cable all the way to the electronics board. Here's a simple guide which cable meets which cable rubber bushing.
Wheel | Suspension bushing | Frame bushing | Electronics box bushing |
Front left | Front left | Upper left | Upper left |
Front right | Front right | Upper right | Upper right |
Rear right | Rear right | Lower right | Lower right |
Rear left | Rear left | Lower left | Lower left |
Open the electronics box and check 8pin green connector cabling (if done properly and if any cable isn't loose).
RR - Rear Right, RL - Rear Left, FL - Front Left, FR - Front Right
Check if there's no burned components, holes in casings of components etc.

If it's not a cabling issue, most probably one of the h-bridges diving motors is defect or damaged. We'll then send you a replacement board for repair. Please proceed then to electronics replacement manual.

The easiest and quickest way to fix your wheels when waiting for new board to come is to short-connect two wheels from the Rover side where faulty wheel is located. The bridges can withstand up to 6A of current so there's no problem with driving the motors together.
Find where the faulty wheel is connected to the big 8pin connector, unscrew the cables and connect them together with the same side wheel.
Ex. left front wheel can be connected with left right using one h-bridge as they always act the same direction.
