the trans am one worked for about 3 minutes and all the sudden shut off under hard acceleration off a hairpin. the tc didn't even make it to the loop on the warm up lap.. went about 5 feet under 25% throttle and just shut off.

the pc reconizes both esc's, but no power when battery is plugged in. i've tried new batteries/wires/caps/receiver. no luck with either..

also to note neither smell blown, neither were hot. and no smoke came out at all.

Just to confirm. When you plug the ESC into the HotWire it comes up as normal and changes can be made and saved however when plugged into your car as normal nothing happens. No power, no LEDs light up?
