Default Broken ESC?

So I was driving my car on flat ground, no water or anything in site. And my car just stops moving, like I let off the throttle. Then it won't respond to any throttle inputs at all. Did my ESC (futaba 330) just go bad? It wasn't hot to the touch.

There are many things that could possibly cause this. We need more info. What motor(s) are you running? How old are the motor(s)? What vehicle? Gearing? What radio are you using? Are the radio batteries dead? Charger? Batteries? (maybe a false peak). Just give us some more info. and we may be able to help locate the problem better.

I'm running a stock traxxas stinger motor, it's old, but fine. The vehicle is a custom tlt, I'm not sure of the gearing, but it isn't overgeared. I have a futaba magnum jr. Radio batts are fine, the charger false peaks, but I just hit the charge button again. They had more than enough power to move the truck when I hooked 'em straight to the motor.
