It sounds like the ESC cant handle the load. Are you running 1 motor and 2 servos? |

| A little more details will help... How many motors are you running? How many servos? Digital servo(s)? If you have a receiver pack, try using that and see if the problem goes away. it could just be that the BEC is not strong enough for the stuff you have. |

In your original post you said this occurred when the truck gets stuck. If the wheels are not spinning that is when the motor will stall and cause the ESC to generate the most heat. Most ESCs will enter a temporary thermal shutdown when they get too hot. Some may take longer to get to this point than others.
