I would check all the connections, make sure that the rx and esc plugs are pushed in all the way.......make sure that the battery connector is good and soldered on.

Unhappy

yeah thats what i first thought but then when i checked, everything seemed to be fine. i tried using one of those little metal pens(dont know what they are called) which had a light bulb in it and when i put it on certain places on the esc (souldered parts ) the light lit up and also on some of the places on the esc it made the steering twitch and the wheels spin for about a second when i put the pen on it.

i did this to see if there was any power running through the esc just to make sure it wasnt the battery that was stuffed.

Have you checked your radio batts....they might be too drained to put out anything. Would you be able to post a pic of the top view.

Take a look at all the chips, do you see any burn marks......or wires that may have gotten loose.

If that were the case you might want to see if you can just get the electronic part for it.......source out the pcb board or send them an email on the problem.
