Default HELP befor i run this thing over with my semi!

I've been having a lot of trouble with my wraith and getting tired of it breaking every time I take it out

had it out today for ten minutes and cooked my castle MMP pro which I'm not sure how it happened. when I first got it I did the plasti dip trick and today I had it in a little bit of water and got hung up on a log in the water (water was up 1/2 way on 2.2s) gave it some throttle to get over it n couldn't. went out and pulled the wraith off and after it acted like a severly dead battery and no reverse. brought it home put my stock esc in and went back out. got bout hour into the run and now I have NO forward or reverse

Specs are or WERE
Castle creation mamba max pro smart sense ESC
castle creation BEC
15/80 pinion spur
stock motor
2s lipo
stock wraith receiver and transmitter

I have a team brood 30t motor I just haven't put back in yet

Was there any water in your receiver box?

Not sure if the stock motor comes apart or not, but if it does tear it down and clean it thoroughly. Debree in the brushes can cause them to hang up or worse. If it doesnt come apart wash it out as best you can with clean water, let it dry, then see if it still works.

Does the steering work ok? I fried a servo once and it wouldn't go forward or back if the servo was plugged into the receiver.

Sounds like a motor issue.

I would check the receiver. Open up the receiver and put it in a bag of rice overnight.

if you have the axial transmitter, flysky brand receivers will work.

These will both work..

Check the conections to the Motor. I had a problem close to that. I would hit a bump and lose the motor. Steering still worked but would not go. I started pulling on the connectors from the ESC to the motor and found they were lose. and would lose connection. Redid them and have not had a problem.
