Tried, and yeah it still turns and lifts

So, let's start from the beginning!! you used the tank until it no longer worked? is that right? the solution to have confirmation? it's to measure the voltage of the battery with a multimeter.... But isn't that why certain functions (low consumption) work? that motors that consume more amps will work? it's like on a car, the dashboard lights come on, will the starter work? Confirm me, my first question?

I wasnt like driving when it stopped working, i left it on for a bit and went away for like 2 mins and when i came back it didnt wanna drive anymore but the lower power functions worked all the same

OK, okay, but if you have no way of knowing the state of the battery (minimum voltage 3 volts) I remain convinced that the cause is this. Also possible platinum problems? or a mechanical problem? but personally firstly it is to check your battery, this is always the way to proceed, in view of the symptoms described, as the friend "Ecam" also says
In addition, "Lipo" technology does not work like standard batteries or other "Nimh, Lion, lead" batteries and without certain precautions for use? risk of big problems....But without following the information provided, it will not be easy to help you out? If you install a 5 Watt lamp on a weak battery, it will work, but if you replace it with a 50 Watt one? there is a good chance that it will not light up.

Only way i have at hand to see the voltage atm is the flysky screen, it says 4.5 volts

I personally am inclined to this that it’s battery issues,

That is the transmitter's voltage not the tank's.

4.5 volts? as "Ecam" points out, this is the voltage of the transmitter, and as we do not know what the type of transmitter is? even if the value seems strange to me? and remains convinced that the problem is on the battery side?

UPDATE: went and tested My battery and also got a new one just in case, it wasnt the battery since it's still the same, changed the switch aswell and didnt do much, what else is there i can do

Voltage in the tested battery was 12. Something volts
