Any answers to this issues ?????
1/8 scale Mugen buggy I was at a race this weekend and my car was running perfect through two heats then I drove it back to my tent to knock the dirt off the tires when I stopped it and squeezed the throttle again I got nothing at all no sterring or movement at all.
I check all connections nothing loose or broke that I could find.
Im using a Tekin Gen 2

Any ideas out that I know esc's go out but maybe im missing something on assessing the problem.

If you have a multi-meter, check the power input at the exposed ESC wires. This will determine if the ESC is seeing any voltage. I have seen cold solder joints fail like this after running fine for a while. IDK if the Tekin G2 has a user replaceable fuse or fuse link.

Make sure only the ESC is plugged into the receiver in case the servo has gone wonky. Keep in mind that the ON/OFF switch can go bad as well. For that, you would need to either cut the switch and solder the wires together, but then you'll likely get a little spark with plugging the battery in, might also void any warranty you may have...

I don't think there is a fuse location

I have Tekin ESCs and I don't have to bind the switch wires together. That will shut it off. Cut them and leave them that way. Check the 3 wires going from ESC into receiver slot. I've had the black one break inside the plug and had no power also.

tripleccc, did you get it fixed? If so, detail what you found, if not, what is happening now.
