Default I think i killed my moped...

Well i just installed a new 85turn axiom motor tonight. About 15mins into the first run the car just stopped. At first i thought it was my battery because ive been having connection problems, but it was fine. So i then looked into my moped v16r esc and i just get no power when i turn it on. Everything seems to be connected and no cut wires. I took it apart and i cant see any marks on the board.

Has anyone heard of this? Any suggestions?

May have killed the bec maybe? Disconnect the red wire from the esc to the reciever, and hook up an rx pack and see if it works, if not then i dont know?

probably a loose wire on the switch, just cut the switch off and solder the wires together.

Yep, only issue I ever had w/ mine was a loose wire on the switch, I did just as Kamikaze did!

I need to order another MOPED, I miss my OG!

I soldered the wires from the on/off switch together. No luck, the thing seems to be totally dead.

Sounds like somethings loose. Id also try hooking up a reciever pack and see what the outcome is. Youde see what part of the moped is working or not.
