And it turns out my ESC is most likely dead. :( I hooked up my 1515 to it and nothing. I hooked up my 2028 to my MMM and it worked fine. The ESC recognizes my throttle input, but it just doesn't communicate to the motor in any way, which is why it won't beep when it starts up, the ESC does "arm" I'd guess, as I get the blinking LEDs and everything, it just doesn't connect to the motor so no beeps. I'm thinking I must have shaken up the ESC too much in my crash and a solder joint went bye bye. I'll give Castle support a call tomorrow but I'll probably be out of a Baja for a week or two.

That sucks man! You have me seriously contemplating getting some hyperion packs though. Im gonna put some more runs on these chinese packs and see how it goes first. I also want to read the data logs more and see if i can dial in the setup better. I have a quick connect on order that should be here soon so i cane easily download the logs. Hope you are back up and running soon.
