A thermal shutdown is to prevent the ESC from overheating it doesn't just randomly shut down. Check the battery, gently pull on the wires by the connectors to see if they are loose, that is a common problem, when you unplug ALWAYS make sure you pull by the connector not by the wires, it will cause a loose connection and eventually the wire to separate from the connector. Also make sure the board is not fried and make sure if you are using the DC battery powered charger, that the batteries are fresh, while it will charge on low power, it will not give it enough mAh. Get us a video even though I switched to brushless in most all of my trucks(except the Nitro Pede, Mini Z, Mini Rio(not Revo, its a boat) and McRC) nearly 2 years ago, I can still help with brushed.
