RE: RC18R problem
I hate to say it, cos you will then have replaced everything, but I think the motor is shot. Do you have access to another motor just to try? From a friend, another vehicle or a local hobby shop? Don't buy a motor until you're sure, find one just to try.
Come to think of it, there's an easy test, can you not put the AM system back in? If it works fine, then the motor and esc are ok.

looking at that other forum he linked I don't know WHY no one suggested that even associated.
