A few weeks ago my son came inside from driving his fcx18 LC80 and the the truck was acting weird. Thought it might be low rc battery or receiver battery so put charged batteries in both.

After fresh batteries, his truck now only works in reverse and only goes for maybe 10 seconds and then the LC80 lights start flashing and then the truck stops working as if it turns itself off.

I have no idea how to trouble shoot the issue here. Googling seems to imply his motor overheated and his ESC got fried. Anyone ever have this issue? My son is 5 so when I asked him what he was doing he gave me a vague answer so im not sure what happened!

Any idea what to do? How do I find a replacement ESC?

Thx!
