Default I think my esc fried

Outcry dual motor esc in my bully rtr. It started cutting out and finally quit. I took the cover off and a wire was off inside. I re soldered the wire and nothing. It gets power but the led is blinking on the esc and the rx, and nothing happens. The wheels won't even turn. Makes me think the bec went too. Keep in mind I'm an electrics dummy.

Thoughts?
Thanks.

Try to re-bind your TX to your RX. Also reprogram the ESC. What wire was off on the inside? Did it melt? Sounds like you may have run it HOT! What battery and motor are you running? What is your BEC set at voltage wise? Did you disconnect the power wire from your ESC when you put the BEC in?

this wire


i will try to rebind in a bit. I had the fan on it and i dont run more than 10-15 minutes at a time if even that. The wire did not melt. Looks like a bad solder to me. The bec is castle I think, turbo bec 6v 5a 2 or 3 s lipo. Im running max amps 1550 mah 3s lipo on it. It came wired up so this is the first time Ive unplugged any of it.

thanks man
