mini revo wont turn on

[Chunga]

I have a new mini revo and two full charged batteries and it will not turn on.Any ideas?

what kind of batteries are you using???

How do you have them wired? The esc doesn't come on at all?

just the traxxas batteries that come with it.The steering works but the esc led wont come on and the car doesn't move and it won't turn off.

I can't say I have a solution for you but a bit of sympathy, this has happened to me too. I had a few more hours on mine but it happened one day. I could do the steering but forward and reverse didn't work. I kept working on it and had it to where it finally had forward to work. After a while it started cogging bad and finally back to steering no R and F.
What did I do? I called Traxxas and they said to send it to them for service.

So I ended up buying a MM esc instead.

adjust your throttle trim to ensure its centered and make sure the controller is set to 50/50. (if using stock)

blinking green light on the esc means the throttle is not at neutral. solid green means neutral.

I will call Traxxas Monday and talk to them.i'm sure it's the ESC ..
