I have a pile of 6 FRIED ESC's and 3 FRIED motors in the past year! :-(
BUT :-), the Speed Passion GT 2.0 has been replaced under sellers warranty, last week SWEEEET!!!
Decided to have another look at the two Castle esc's. The led won't lite on the Sidewinder esc STILL so I'm guessing its really and truly DEAD!
Tried the Sidewinder SCT and it would take a PC link programing. << HOPE rises!!
Put it in the AE SC10 and it would not program to the radio!!! As I was looking at the esc/motor in the SC10, I remembered that you can switch the wires going from the esc to the motor to reverse the direction of the motor. Ding DING DING The radio throttle control maybe set to the wrong direction. Changed the setting and BINGO the esc is working!! The esc WAS in the Losi XXX-SCT and was set for that SC.
That makes only 4 FRIED ESC's and 3 FRIED motors.

Picked up a Speed Passion Cirtix Insire 2.0 as a backup, now have MORE esc's than RC trucks!!!
