Default RE: overheating esc?

opjose; thanks. I took off the heat SHRINK awhile ago, and made sure all connections were good-they were. I had those bullet connectors on my connections before, but I heard that heat SHRINK was better guess I screwed up there!

Start by disconnecting these and putting a meter on a plug and the solder point on the ESC.

If you fail to get continuity you've found the problem.
ok, just want to make sure I understand this. I get that you want me to disconnect the esc and BL motor, but after that I'm not sure...do you want me to put the + and - wires of a battery tester on the esc/motor wires? And when you say "If you fail to get continuity you've found the problem" do you mean if I fail to get current I've found the problem? I'm not a really technical guy, so excuse me if I sound stupid here


thanks
