Default Speed t, broken?

hi, i purchased a Losi Speed T and had my first run on the 25th. I got it out of the box charged 8.4v 3000MaH battery on 0.5A so it took a while. once charges i plugged in to car programmed what profile i wanted to use, i chose beginner by pressing the setup button and judging by how many LED's were flashing in the ESC would tell me what profile i was about to use. I took it and for about 10 mins driving time came back inside (i didnt stop because battery was flat , just because i was freezing) put battery back on charge just for more time when i go back out. Okay this is the part that makes me think it is broken. i go to put battery back in try and chose profile and then the LED's just do not come on and i have tried EVERYTHING. basically all i can do with it now is steer the wheels left and right. i have tried re-binding the transmitter and car, using QPC(quick programming card) to chose a different speed ect and left it to cool but the thing that confusing me most is that i keep thinking that the ESC is just faulty or broken BUT THE FAN STILL SPINS. But the motor just doesn't spin the wheels no matter what i do.

I have not crashed this vehicle once, and i mean that. If anyone has any ideas what could of possibly happened please tell me.

Don't know anything about Losi so Can't help.
Just want to say sorry that it's not working. Nothing worse than a cool new toy that you can't play with.

Did the ESC get wet during the first run?

It seems you arent the only one

That really stinks though, maybe try and get a replacement ESC, sell it, and try to get a better system? just my .2 cents.

Losi products are not as great as they used to be. Thats why I have a Vxl3 set up in my Losi Desert truck.
