Default Probs with ESC

I am having a problem with my TXT. The last time I ran it at first it would just lose the connection, like a loose plug or something. Then towards the end of the run it would not run at all. Would it be a bad connection or am I going to have to buy another ESC? I am running a SR with Hitech Transmitter/Receiver and stock motors

how many runs on the motors? i guess wiring or the esc has de-programmed itself and needs to be reprogrammed.

if you are using the stock tamiya connectors that could also be your problem

I didnt think bout the connectors. You are talking bout the ones for the motor right? My light on the ESC is on like it has power to it, but the truck does not respond.

the connectors on your motor, and the ones on your batter/esc.

replace them all with deans, or hardwire.

sounds like it could be bad brushes also.

It shuts down and wont do a thing, but like I said earlier the light on the ESC is on like it has power to the ESC, but not to the motors or servo.
