Default Vampire esc help

After a superb meeting today at batley I was putting a few extra laps in after the track had been put away when my car just stopped no steering or throttle , the battery was full charged so not lipo cut off , the esc is now dead no lights nothing , it's only done two meetings , is it possible for a esc to just pack in like this ?

Interested to know what the problem was - when you sort it !

My vampire died first meeting out - but I still had power to reciever and servo - just no power to motor. Speedo just blinked and would not respond to anything or to being reset.

Speedo was faulty and was swopped for another - fingers crossed no problems so far and it's running great,

Hope you get it sorted

Sounds like it could be something other than the speedo though - radio / reciever ?

Mine has no lights on , it's as though I haven't got it connected to a battery .

Smile Thank you Darren

Many thanks to Darren at xfactory for his gesture of goodwill in replacing my esc , it was poor soldering by myself that had shorted the esc out and not a fault with the esc
