If it’s a pop capacitor you would smell it. If so probably have to buy new setup

Do you have any? Esc you can recommend?

 

[TRAT]

I don’t have any I can part with. I suggest go stock if I were you. Only way I change esc up if you going bigger motor so on. To be safe but one that came with that truck.

Mamba Monster 2 or Max8 is always a safe bet

The MM2 is the new version of the MM1.

Edit
or if you feel like it use the Traxxas power up program and get the Vxl6s.

Code APR1023 brings the price down to $132.99

For what it is worth the MM2 will be a direct swap into the E-Maxx all you need to do is swap over your esc connectors you can even still use the same mount.

Motor wires unplug from the esc. They can be a little tight so twisting while you pull can help.
