Default Question about troubleshooting....

Hi all

I have a question about my Traxxas Slash 4x4 and just need pointed in the right direction. I got it out today and blew the dust off (been on the shelf for a year or so) and took it to a nearby construction site. I'm running a Castle Creations 8th scale Sidewinder motor/ESC and two 3s Venoms in series. I wasn't too hard on it but after about 15min it just died; no lights, no noise, nothing. So I removed both LiPos and let it cool down, then plugged up only one battery. I got nothing, no lights or program initiation beeps. Fluke says batteries are pushing 11.7v and 11.6v but when I plug either or both up, literally nothing happens.

I checked the usual, connections etc and anything out of the ordinary. The truck was running just fine for awhile, nothing unusual, and the motor isn't seized up. You'll notice in the photo that I have disconnected the ESC in preparation for a chassis swap. I wasn't planning on doing it until late summer but.....

I don't know where to go from here. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
