Today, I wanted to take my car out, plugged in the battery as usual, turned it on and the startup noises were quiet and when I pressed the throttle, nothing. At least I still have steering

Motor spins fine by hand and the plugs look how they always haveCheck connectors going to motor for good plug fit, possible corrosion if put away wet last running etc ...
Make sure motor will even spin by hand as well ?
They smell, not burnt.deep SNIFF the ESC and Motor where wire enter .... If either has that Tell-Tail burnt electronics smell ?
Obvious stuff ... check the ESC to receiver wire end to end, check plug at receiver.
If there is or was an initial Programming / Binding of throttle position of ESC to Receiver ... DO IT AGAIN.
If it has a LVC function ... could be supply battery is too low in voltage.They smell, not burnt.
It’s a 2 in 1 receiver and esc but led is on when throttle is on and off when no input so that’s working
Wires from the esc to motor look fine
Could there be a chance that the esc is giving lower voltages than normal to the motor?
Okay I’ll try that, if nothing works it’s just an excuse to upgradePull the motor out of the car attach the motor directly to the battery if it doesn't spin the motor is bad if it does the esc is likely bad. Stock 2 in1 escs in the brushed models are not that great and tend to crap out rather easily compared to separate units or brushless systems. I've killed so many of them over the years I don't even bother running them anymore.
