My son took his Ruckus out over the weekend and not even a good 10 minutes into him playing with it, the truck died. He wasn't even driven it hard either. I always charge our batteries up before we go out to drive our trucks so I knew the battery wasn't dead. When I squeezed the trigger, the Ruckus is not doing anything. The ESC will usually beep when you turn it on but it doesn't make the beep sound anymore. I do see a red light that comes on every time I squeeze the trigger though. Not getting anything from the motor. Now the odd thing was I let the truck sit for about 5 minutes and unhooked the battery connector then reconnected it. Turned the Controller on first, then turned the truck on and the Ruckus took off! It worked again for another 5 minutes then it died again. I haven't been able to get it back running since. Everything is stock with no upgrades but this is his 2nd motor and the truck isn't even a year old yet. Might be time to go brushless! I am new to the RC world so I don't even know what to look for when it comes to troubleshooting a problem. Hoping I can get some answers/advice here and save me a trip to the local hobby shop. Thanks
