|  VMG Motor dead?
Anyone ever have a sudden death of the stock motor? It ran fine yesterday. I took the suspension apart to install a 4-link and stretch. At the same time, I soldered a Z connector to my 7.2 volt rx pack, so I plugged it all in to test it. The steering works, throttle does not. I tried the stock battery configuration, same thing. I plugged the battery pack directly to the motor, nothing. My ESC can handle the voltage, no problem. I am running an Airtronics ES-01 that is rated to 7.2, so I don't think that's the problem. Any ideas? |

No, no indication of power at all. I tried it with a rx pack and with the stock battery setup.

Seems like it fixed itself. Today, the motor is working. Weird...
