RE: buggy stop running
Things to check: check the motor. It may be time for a new one. Check the wire leades fron the esc to motor. They can come loose or get coroded. check your ESc to see if it has a thermal overload protection If it does try a new motor. If it has a fuse replace it and try a new motor. IF not then a new ESC.

RE: buggy stop running
How long does it run before it quits ? This doesn't sound like an ESC problem. It sounds more like a motor in need of new brushes but the Tamiya motors aren't re-buildable so it might be time for a new one.
