Post #50, i see 3 things that could be motors. They don't look like a normal 540/550 brushed motors. looks like there is something extra, maybe a sensor/encoder thing on the brush hood of one. Some kinda gearmotor looking one with maybe 7 wires in? Then another can which could be fuel tank or a motor?

If you just hook up straight from a battery pack to motor leads, then swap connecting polarity can you make motors run forward / reverse?
The motors are brand new 12V Wedico-Buhler Motors and the original Wedico ESC (this is located inside the fuel tank). For testing purposes I used the old motor (in the wiring picture). The extra white wires are for the sound / light system. The motor does the reverse/reverse with them disconnected as well. I did hook up the motor to the battery, and it operates correctly (forward, reverse) which leads me to the bad ESC conclusion.
