RC Driving Style
i can not get my radio to completly control the car the opti drive led stays red the brake and trottle does not work just steering how can i make it work
 
i dont know if you have the manual, but on the receiver channel one should be the steering servos, channel 2 should be the throttle and channel three would be the optidrive. make sure they are all connnected and there are not cuts in the wires or anything. or you might have a fried throttle servo. oh yeah and make sure the batteries are fully charged

just checked my manual and a steady red light means "sensor circuit is broken. possible disconnection sensor, broken wires or damaged sensors." thats straight from the traxxas revo manual.
 
I was about to tell you where it is but I see you've found it. That's what the forum is for, and this is the only one I've found full of members that are willing to help with no hidden agendas. Someone will help out soon, you've posted in the right places.
 
To me it sounds like you might have the wires in the wrong channels. That's exactly what happens on an ESC when you have the servo input on the wrong channel, it wont program.
 
it sounds like the batteries in the car are low, charge it up (both the car and the remote), then check the connectors and then try it again.
