New rig with upgrades

[Martin trj]

I had been eyeballing a deadbolt. I finally decided to get one and do some upgrades. I wanted to start it as a brushless rig and it all went uphill from there.
I eded up with a lot of red accents, I get it tho the color does not improve performance.
Today I connected a fully charged battery to the rig and turned everything on…nothing. The receiver light blinks and the car does not connect. I pressed the bind button and the light turns solid but still nothing. I tried it with my wrangler and it connected instantly.
Could it be a faulty receiver? The esc connects to the (lizard pro) to the app too. The batteries in the flysky gt3b are also new.
I’d appreciate some help.
Thanks

I might’ve had something connected wrong because after resetting all the stuff it started working fine.

The color of the parts might not improve performance but chrome parts have been scientifically proven to make your car heavier and more expensive! So there's that! lo!
Cool lighting on that truck!

My radio stopped working today, just shut off.
I pulled the battery cover off and spun the AA's around... TADA! Fixed radio!!! Lol!
No idea what that was about! Glad you got it worked out!

I know! Here I am thinking of getting a new receiver or esc, something as simple as reconnecting all the wires did the trick.
That’s a cool way to word it “scientifically proven” .
I liked the Meus axles so much I got a second set for my Wrangler. These are money pits I tell ya!!
I’m calling this rig “the chimichanga”, it reminds me of deadpool.

Lol! There's no doubt of that! There is ALWAYS a way to spend more on your R/C!!!

Glad it was an easy fix, looks great. Now have some fun!

Been sick for about two weeks, nothing serious. Got pink eye and laringitis. I feel a lot better so I might take them both to my nearest indoor 4x4 track. I’ll update with some pix when I do

Ok, the color was supposed to stay on the truck! Pink R/C???
Glad you're on the mend!

 

[Martin trj]

My right eye and throat looked as red as the rig!

 

[CertifiedMike]
