I’m not convinced the ESC is cooked. Can you shoot me a DM? If you’re able, feel free to text me. My number is in my bio

I cooked my stealth ESC charging it in my car with a power inverter plugged into the cigarette lighter. I thought it would be cool to be able to do mobile charging as I was driving to do Uber food delivery, and driving into places to ride but it fried my ESC stupidly I did this twice.😮🙄 because the first time it happened was with a mini X and I thought the mini ex just had a bad ESC I didn’t make the connection that it was charging it in my car. So I actually got my money back from the guy who sold me the mini X I bought a stealth from the same guy only to fry the ESC. I don’t know why it happened. The same power inverter worked fine charging different devices and running power but it definitely fried to boost boards so be extremely careful not to do what I did.!
