Ok. Where is your throttle trim set at? It MUST be at zero when powering on the transmitter. Maybe the initial fault was actually the ESC tripping LVC. When you had issues, did you mess with the throttle trim? Was your throttle trim at zero when you calibrated the ESC?

No it's a solid red light

Recalibrate the ESC's throttle endpoints so no LED lighting up at neutral.

Trigger was in neutral during start. Adjusted throttle trim. After fault reset to zero.

Pretty sure someone said they lost functionalitty on some but not all memory setting on flysky radio. Can you save all settings to another memory space in your radio to try again?
Just a thought. Good luck!

I have tried resetting, rebinding, recharged the battery, rechecked profile, rechecked all trims and nothing but a solid red light

Found out my problem, the ESC has failed. Will get in touch with team associated about getting it replaced under warranty.

Ok. Do you have an infrared temp gun? When you get the new ESC in, I would make sure to do some short test runs and monitor the temps of the motor and ESC. Keep the ESC and motor below 160°F. If you don't have a temp gun, use your finger. If you can't keep it on there for more than a few seconds, you're too hot, and need to look for binding somewhere, which will burn your electronics up. It may have just been a bad ESC. But I would make sure it wasn't the car before you burn it up again.

I already checked for binding and motor/ESC temp before when it stopped moving. Everything was normal, just a bad ESC it seems

UPDATE: My new ESC has shipped and will hopefully be here by Friday, just in time to get it installed and try my hand down at the track maybe. Thank all of you for your support and insights. Can't wait to build some relationships.
