Default Strange problem with a Venom lipo.

So I have had this lipo for some time now, always balanced, and stored at proper voltage. Plugged it into my SC10 the other day, got about 30ft, hit a bump and the truck shuts off. Tried switching on/off, replugging, everything. Feels like the switch is weird on the esc so I figure that is the problem. Get home and plug a different lipo in and the truck works fine. So I take the problem lipo and plug it into my charger, recognizes it and says it's at 8.4v. So take it and plug it to my sons SC10, switched on a works fine. Switched off and back on, nothing. Tried messing with the plug, jiggling wires, ect. Anyone have any idea what the issue is here? Sorry for the novel.

Does your pack have the interchangeable connectors? If yes then that is probably your problem. Try wiggling your connectors and see if you can get it to make a connection.

LOL, I was afraid I was giving too many details. Both SC10's have the stock RS ESC. My truck has a Savox HV servo with Spektrum rx with cap, sons truck is all stock RS electronics.
