Default wraith wont move but steering and ESC lights work.

Ok so i was out earlier with my wraith and drove through a puddle that was probably deep enough to submerge the axles,

It was muddy so wasnt going through the puddle very quickly when suddenly it seemed as if the battery just drained away and the wheels stopped. Ive still go steering, Esc and Receiver are both waterproofed the only thing that isnt water proofed are the motor connectors.

Running standard axial ESC with a tamiya CR motor and 2s lipo.

The ESC lights up green when you pull the trigger to go forward and red in reverse like its supposed to.

Could i have burnt the Motor out in the water?

Check your brushes and your wires to the motor. If they don't move freely in the brush hood they won't make contact with the commutator and will not run. Also check your connections to the motor. Sounds like the ESC and receiver are working as they should.
