Hi All,

I think I may have fried my 80A Hobbywing esc. It's the older ( larger ) one.

I was racing two weeks ago when I lost all forward / brake functions. The steering still worked. Took it back to the pits and found it was hard to roll on the table...took out the motor, it was harder than usual to turn by hand..fried right.

Slight high heat/burnt smell from the motor / esc

All lights and fan work on the esc.

Tested the esc last night just by holding the wires on a 1/10 scale 10.5T motor. Hit the throttle, motor spun up no problem.

Just wired up a loaner motor ( Thanks Kevin T ) and it won't work.

When I turn the esc on the light flashes 4 times ( 4 cells ) but I hear no beeps. ???

Try the throttle and the motor just twitches.

Any ideas?? Is it toast?
