Hi Guys, i repaired my TRAXXAS, and replaced the ESC. I guess it was the mud which got accumulated over the mechanical switch of the ESC module. The other electronic components were water proof. I am attaching the some pic of the same.

Its very important to clean your car after each run. It is very critical to proper working of the components. Just take it to a water wash and use compressed air to brush and clean off.

correct but what happened was, just see ESC as such, its a perfectly neat equipment, I found the mud only when i opened the ESC. The mud have creaped in through the heat dissipation fins i guess.
