Just had a big scare. The esc's wouldn't do anything. I took it back and resoldered all the motor wires. Then after that didn't work, I checked the voltage of the battery. I didn't get a reading out of the deans plug. Crap. I tore open the battery and didn't find anything but a good soldering job. I eventually pulled the red wire from the deans plug and it came right off from the good solder joint. It broke right before the solder. I re-attached it and now It's recharging from 2.92v/cell. This battery is becoming as ghetto as the truck!

It will be fast though... I hope with a fully charged battery the startup will be smoother too.
