Switched batteries, ran heat one, 10 seconds left, I spun out, car dies. Turns right back on. Heat two, buddy suggested a cap, threw it in, made it half way down the straight at about 3/4 speed, car dies straight into the wall. Luckily nothing broke. We tried reflashing the ESC and then redoing all my settings, threw it on the track between races worked great. Mains come around, car feels great, running great, hit the triple one last time car dies. Marshal hands it to me it turns right back on, set it on track getting ready to line up car dies, night over. This morning a buddy suggests switching sensor wires, did that ran it out front felt great ran for about 4 mins, then dies, now wont turn back on. I have no idea what happened, no loose wires or connections. This was the Gen II trackstar. Pretty bummed out, but what can you do.
