Hi everybody so I just found this controller along with a receiver and some servos but the bottom of the controller has no bottom cover so I’m assuming that’s why it won’t turn on any suggestions?

The bottom cover would have had metal tabs to make contact with the batteries and complete the circuit. Without that bottom door its not going to work. might as well just replace the radio. You can buy a flysky GT3b for about $40. It comes with one receiver.
 
you can go to ur local hardware store and buy a piece of copper sheet then trace the bottom missing cover and cut it out then id buy a piece of plastic even nylon and cut it out you can even add a spring if needed.. its no Biggy as in repairs go . dremel tools and simple baby sizzers will do most you can even solder a spring in
 
I do not know what brand that is; but check with the manufacture and see if they sell them separately - I just bought one from Traxxas a few months ago.
