They are WAY underrated in current capacity for the application and if the kid drives it pretty much steady "til the batteries go dead, they will overheat and the contacts will squash out of position into the heat-softened plastic.
They MAY test OK with an Ohmmeter, but NOT carry the current needed to run the motors.
You need to check with a Voltmeter across each set of contacts in use on each switch in use for the particular function that doesn"t work UNDER LOAD, in other words with the "gas pedal" depressed to figure out which contacts have the voltage dropped across them.

If there are TWO or more contacts failed, it"s gonna be like a series set of Christmas lights to troubleshoot

We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
