Exclamation ESC Instantly Overheating

Hi All,

I am fairly new to the RC world and I am trying to pull together an RX buggy with the components listed below. I have soldered the ESC and Motor together as required in the instructions and when I connect the battery to test it with a receiver and remote to see if the motor turns nothing happens, the wheels turn but the motor doesn't spin.

Instead, if I leave it 30sec to a min the ESC gets incredibly hot to the point where it will burn to the touch and it cuts out. I am not sure why this is happening but would love some help/guidance.

Components used:

- TrackStar 21.5T "Out Law" Sensored Brushless Motor V2
- Turnigy 5000mAh 2S1P 20C hardcase pack (ROAR APPROVED)
- TrackStar Sportsman 60A 1/10th Scale Sensored Brushless Car ESC (ROAR APPROVED)

Thanks for the support

You do have the sensor wire connected right? Otherwise it sounds like a bad ESC
