We might need a bit more info.

Is the battery fully charged? Is the ESC starting up as it should, typically they have a series of beeps after being powered on.

Is the LED on the ESC flashing any codes?

What kind of battery are you using and is the ESC set for this battery type?

If you're lucky you just drained the battery down and hit the LVC (low voltage cutoff), some ESC's allow you to drive a tiny bit and then cut the power.

Check If all cables pluged in properly. Maybe some got loose.

Yeah it does do the series of beeps and then it goes Orange I I'm new to this obviously and I was thinking of that it may be the battery is too low yes the battery is set up for that esc it's a battery that came with it the guy drove in a bunch I tore it all apart thinking maybe something came loose in the transmission now I know for sure it's got to be the ESC or the battery still waiting on my new charger to show up and my new battery because I could only order them online due to the virus crap thanks for getting back to me and I did check all plugs they're all nice and tight which leaves me with the battery or the ESC

I was told the battery was good to go the ESC has a yellow orange light gosu a series of beeps red light then all the lights and then a steady orange light I literally had just bought in this use it for 2 minutes it rolled maybe 3 minutes it rolled a couple times and then I flipped it over and then it was just like only wanting to go but wouldn't really go and the receiver light flashes when I push the throttle

All the wheels should spin freely correct when it's off

The back wheels don't spin maybe I found the problem

Yeah it will spin, the motor adds resistance but you should easily be able to overcome it since the Yeti isnt geared down a ton.

If its locked up the diff gears are the likely culprit.

[ryanhall8028]

Ok yeah it's locked up thank you so much I literally just bought this drove it for 2 minutes and then it wouldn't run anymore and of course you can't go by chargers batteries anything at hobby shop right now or get any advice so I've had to wait and wait and wait and then I found tap talk again thank you

If you do need new gears make sure to get the hardened steel version and to get the same tooth count (they sell overdrive and underdrive versions but I dont think you'd want that with the rock racer version), the stock diff gears are easy to chew up. I went through both the front and rear diff gears on mine.

EDIT: My old local hobby shop talked me into getting a Vanquish aluminum axle for the rear to hold the power but I think that was overkill.

[ryanhall8028]

I wasnt turn hard enough they do turn and all the wheels turn but it's kinda hard I took the motor off and it was easy turning the gears looked fine I'm at a lost. If the battery is low will the ESC have a orange light. If your running fine what color is the light on the ESC mines the stock vanguard ae3 it beeps twice when I start it then does a series of beeps all lights blink then it turns Orange color

I just checked mine and the ESC turns solid orange when its on, its green going forward and red in reverse.

[ryanhall8028]

Hmm... would you have another method to upload that like youtube or imgur?

I'm not comfortable downloading and unknown file.

[ryanhall8028]

No I don't it's just a short video from my phone showing what the rc is doing when I try to use it
