Default Rx8 gen 2 died

Hello all, I am getting back into racing after many years. I am running a TRL 8e 3.0 with spectrum radio/rec and protec servo. It has been a very bumpy restart to the sport and my current issue involves my speed control. I was at the local indoor track practicing on Wednesday and I slid into the pipes after a triple. Not a bad crash, but the car died! No power at all! I think the esc is toast at this point as I thought it may have been the switch and I bypassed it, no luck. There is power going in, but bypass or turn on and no lights and no power. Please advise if there is any other things to check.

Pull the speedy apart and make sure if its a multi PCB design they are firmly connected.

Look for any parts that may have fallen out/off

Check the switch for broken wires, use a multi meter.

Ok, I did take it apart and it does have two boards with a connector. I will re assemble and try again. Thanks!
