Default ESC Problems

My esc seems to have stopped working. It is the ezrun 60a, and was running fine all through practice and my first heat then 1 min from the end of my second heat the car stopped, the motor is twiching when i apply throttle, at first i thought it was my motor but i hooked up another motor and it did the same thing, any idea what the problem can be and if it would be fixable?

If it helps the esc was cold to the touch after 5 mins of my heat.

Thanks Mike

Did you try a different sensor wire?

its a scensorless system, during the heat the motor wire did come out but it has done it before and never caused a problem

Could the wire have touched any other components or connectors when it came loose?

If this has happened then the ESC might be damaged.

These ESC are almost impossible to repair, so other than checking all your wiring and recalibrating the ESC to the transmitter there wont be much you can do about it.

If you push the car will it then move ok?
