Welcome in @Eugene M , just re-calibrate the transmitter to the esc. That's usually all it takes.

Brushed or brushless?

Is it the original brushed Arrma ESC? If so, there is no way to program it. If the motor burnt up, it may have ruined the ESC as well. How long have you had it?

a little over a year

Did the motor get hot? Or, did it just quit? If the motor overheated, more than likely it took out the ESC as well. You can get the original Arrma ESC, but, i would look for a HW WP-1040 or WP-1060, if you are going to keep it brushed. For the Granite, the 1060 would be better.

Contact Horizon and see if you can get the motor and ESC replaced under the 2 year warranty that Arrma vehicles have.
