Default No Brakes on SC10 rtr esc?

exactly what the title says, i got brake epa at 150 and 100% and nothing, no reverse either. looks like a motor issue but i'm new to electric. does she need a cleaning? i've ran about 2 hours and 2 race weekends with it so far.

calibrate radio to ESC again? Brakes are notoriously weak on RTR ESC's but since you have no reverse either, then Id say it needs calibration.

did that, even started a fresh model on radio. the red light goes on like its sending reverse to the motor but nothing. i also flipped the motor connections and it went backwards fine but then no forward. i'll open up the esc and clean it out, i remember last time i did it was 1/2 a track worth of clay in there.

Did you ever figure this out? Mine stopped working this weekend with the exact same symptoms.
