Try a different battery first, yours could be dead. If it still don't work, check if the fuse is burnt out (my bet), and then thirdly check the wiring, make sure it isn't pinched or cut.
When in doubt, call it out.

Could, if the wire is getting pinched really hard.

Motor connectors would be the first thing I would check after battery charge and fuse.

+1 on the motor connection

After motor connectors look at your trigger contacts to make sure they are still in good condition and working properly.

It seems those don't last too long down in southern arizona.

Did your stock light on fire? That happened to me once... it means your mosfet exploded. lol.

Battery
Fuse
Motor connectors
trigger contacts
check all the wiring for broken spots/spots where it's kinked (if it stops water in a hose, it will stop electricity in a wire)

Also... if you're using tamiya connectors still... they have a tendency to have the wire separate from the connector electrically, but still have a physical connection to the connector.

1. Remove the gearbox
2. Open the gearbox
3. Remove the little screw holding the trigger mech in
4. Look at the contacts.
