Today I decided to play with my flux. After about 10 min, the truck went dead. The batteries were fresh and had a good charge. When I took the lid off I noticed that the fan on the ESC was not running. The power switch give me no indication that there is any power to the ESC. What else can I check to confirm whether the ESC is working or not?
 
By pass the on off switch and use the battery connection to turn the truck off and on. There will be an electrical arc when you plug the second battery in, that is normal so expect it.
 
Thanks, Mickey. I found the problem. The wire had come loose from the Deans Connector just enough to break contact. Didn't notice until I hit the switch and moved the wire by accident. I had to take it to my LGS since my soldering iron is too small to heat that wire up. Now I'm back in business!!
