Lol, glad to see you're okay. Like they say when looking for a real car, "there's always going to be another one."

Nice! To test the old motor and ESC, just plug it up like normal and turn it on. If it goes, it works. If it doesn't, its broke. Lol

Besides the battery, something else is bad. At least the ESC, and possibly the motor.

T-Bone makes nice stuff but I ordered from them on EBay recently. I paid immediately via pay pal at time of purchase and today is the 8th day after payment and still nothing has shipped. This is starting to piss me off. There documentation says that it should take 4 days at most from pay date to ship. When questioned they say its 5 to 7 days, total contradiction of their policy stated on Ebay. Needless to say they will be getting a highly negative rating on shipping from me on this order. If you don't have the product to sell, don't advertise it T-Bone.
