There’s so much dust / debris in there that something might be shorting some of the pins on the poor ESC

With all the metal shavings the reason it won’t turn on anymore might be very clear.

Yeah I think those two white wires should be the momentary pins you should try shorting with a screwdriver.
this should be illegal.

This looks like potential fire just waiting to go off. My personal opinion would be to start over. Get rid of any metal shavings and loose screws. Get rid of all the electric tape and make precise connections where you need them by solder the cables together and using heat shrink. Also see if you can make the enclosure air tight so in the future dirt can’t get into the enclosure.

Seriously no one is gonna be willing to learn if this is how they’re treated.
No one has shared this thread yet
And this thread is a good resource for enclosure organization inspiration.

Ya, not a fan with a lot of the feedback some ppl in the community send. Really sucked when i started and a lot of asshole remarks when i was learning (still learning). We all werent born into this, lets help each other grow.

Haha, yeah pretty dumb i know. I tried cleaning it as good as possible. After sealing the box with silicone I had to to drill a couple more holes that i forgot about and ofc a lot of shavings are stuck to it now.

Thank you!
There is shrink wrap and proper shiny solder joints beneath the electrical tape. I mainly used the tape to be able to grip connectors better and as color coding for loop key plugs, power plugs (xt90) and charging plugs (xt60). I will take the stormcore out, and clean the box with compressed air.
There is no dirt inside since the box is water-proof even worse it is metal shavings. I’ll open up the stormcore have a look at the PCB and maybe add a new layer of silicone to the box.

Looks like the problem was metall shavings that bridged the connection at the two BAT pins out of the Stormcore. The first test ride (24km) went well. I cleaned the VESCs compartment extensively.
Thanks everyone, sometimes I need someone to point out my obvious building mistakes 
I’ll keep the thread up to date should another Issue arise, maybe someone else can find use in this information.
