There was a zip tie holding wires that get hot and it shorted the Esc I charged the battery and did not even get to put the body on it it still has the plastic on it
Body never ran on the truck

The battery that came with the truck is the only battery I put in it

The battery that came with the truck is the only battery I put in it

The truck came with the hex fly 2s battery the truck has never had a 3s in it I have another truck that takes a 3s this is the only 3s I have the I have a 4s shredder that has 2 2s battery’s I don’t understand what the deal is my blackout pro came with a zip tie so tightly that the insulation melted and shorted out
That is what happened to the Esc to begin with then I got one in return that doesn’t work properly
