Default What makes a esc stop?

I have a MOA and my truck just stops running after a while. I have come to the conclusion with some help from here that I need a new esc but want to make sure the one I get will be good for my motors. What causes it to stop? Amp overload? Overheating? Not sure. Thanks

Usually it's heat that causes it to shut itself down.

What ESC, battery and motors are you using?

I've got a far from stock cliff climber with stock esc, banebot 390's and (2) venom 6cells. It runs fine on flat ground but as soon as I hit the rocks it stops.

I'm sure those motors are too much for the stock ESC.

Another thing that will do it is a servo that draws more current than the BEC can provide.
