What kind of esc are you running. if it has a fuse in it you might want to start there or maybe your motor might have stopped working.Give us a little more info to try and help.

charge the original battery and make sure that one still works. If the original battery works and the second battery works on a different car, I would guess there is a problem with the connectors. Are you running the original tamiya white connectors? I am guessing that the connectors don't like the combination of the second battery and the original car ESC.

Ya the connectors could be messed up.Also your receiver might be messing up just some thoughts check your radio batterys too if there low then that can cause it not to respond.also have you unpluged any connectors that go to the receiver if so check all connections and make sure there all together and not melted.Hope this helps its just some thoughts.

Once on my t3 one of the receiver wires got pulled out of the plug and it stopped running. I would check that. Or you might have a hung brush in your motor. To check pull the brushes out a little and let them snap back in place.
