It's something different then. It sounds like your ESC is plugged into your receiver backwards or in the wrong spot. If you plug the ESC into your receiver backwards the lights will flash but it won't do anything. If you're using a Traxxas receiver the light will be red if the ESC plug is in backwards and not on at all if you're in the wrong slot.

I know some castle escs have problems with the slide switch. I cut mine and twisted the wires.

"Try removing it from the receiver and then power up the ESC. If it beeps there is hope. If still nothing we would have to see the ESC."

Check to make sure you have your receiver connected correctly. Traxxas receivers have two CH1 slots. The ESC needs to be connected to the third slot up from bottom.

Yup, it is in the right slot

I think more info is needed. Are you sure the ESC works?

Unplug everything except the ESC and see if you can recalibrate.

Here's a new question, with everything plugged in correctly do you have steering? I ask because when my last MM2 died it would still power the receiver and servo, it just wouldn't do anything else.

I think that's what happened, problem is reversing it could kill the reciever. It'll still power on, but that particular channel will be null. I've done something similar when I installed a direct-power harness for a steering servo reversed. Throttle worked, but steering was kapoot.

Steering works

Steering works

Do you have another TQi reciever laying around to test whether or not the reciever could be the problem?

Yes i have tqi also in my jato 3.3, already try it. Still not working

I got some life into it, I had to change the Traxxas app to the xo-1 model, then it started to "work", although it still won't drive, when you press the throttle a little more, the receiver starts flashing red and green. And the steering works badly.

Tey to recalibrated it several times

Holy crap, it worked! however, every time I take the batteries out, the esc has to be calibrated again, and the Traxxas link app doesn't work properly because it thinks I'm driving an XO-1 car.

It doesn't matter, I don't drive on the track there, so what do you do with those adjustments
