Sounds like you have a bad ESC . Are you running stock equipment?

It is possible your brushed motor could also be bad. If you can, disconnect the motor from the ESC and connect it to a 9 volt battery and see if it spins, in fact just connect it to the battery in your rc and see if it spins. This will eliminate any motor problems or or let you know you have a motor problem. Its going to be a process of elimination. Brushed motors don't last vary long as there is so much friction from the brushes which creates heat which you must keep tabs on. Do you have a fan on your ESC and motor? How long have you owned this rc and what kind of runs do you do?

So here is what you can do too add fans if you wish to do so on your Ruckus. The bigger fan is 12 volt and runs on its own battery source, a 3S 11.1 volt 800 mAh plane $24. This fan keeps the battery cool and helps added cooling to the ESC. My Ruckus has 3 fans, the battery/ESC fan (which is switched), the ESC fan and the motor fan, all simple to install. The more cooling you have the better it is for the electrical components. The battery and motor fans are high velocity fans (pushs a lot of air 24 cfm) and are best suited for this type of application. The motor fan is a 5 volt fan and can be ran off the auxiliary input on the receiver.
We have a used electronics store here where I live HSC Electronics Supply and they carry all different type of hardware fans and electronics components, hardware, you name it they have it. If you choose to use these types of fans you will have to change the plug to the corresponding plug that's on the battery of your choice or to the plug type that's on the receiver. This is probably to much info for you and I am sorry. If you any help please don't hesitate to ask.
