Its either

ESC
Tx
Rx
Rx batt
UBEC
servo
Battery

swap em one by one.

Brian if the controller ran to hot would'nt thermael ?.

Not always. Never count on a thermal for anything, they will often smoke before they thermal. I have had one get extremely hot and not thermal, then never build power again and glitch and shutter. It still worked, but the upper RPM range wouldnt work. I would check all the simple stuff before you jump to conclusions though.
