I charged the battery on my Revo 3.3 and it check good with a multimeter. I turn on the power on the receiver and nothing happens. I have original Traxxas electronics on it. Any recommendations?
 
First off check all your connections take each one and unplug and plug them up a few times to help clean them off a little.

second make sure every thing is plugged up right.

And lastly if none of the above works plug the battery directly into the reciever and see if that works out for you!

EDIT: What happened on your last run? did your truck become a submarine or a crash test vehicle during your last run at any time?
 
I ran it approx 2 months ago with no issues. I did check every cable and are ok. I will double check tomorrow again.
 
Have you tried plugging the battery directly into the receiver(bypass the on/off switch)?

Are you sure you have the battery plugged into the right slot on the receiver?
 
on the Traxxas receiver it goes on the B slot. throttle on 1 and steering on 2. I have the FOC so slot 3 is available.
 
I know this sounds stupid but it is in no way meant to be a smart comment..

But have you check the power switch to be sure its on? I know I've struggled starting my engine before only to realize that I still have the fuel line pinched.. I tell ya the dang nitro fumes get to ya after a wile!:LoL:
 
I connected the battery directly to the receiver and nothing happened. I plugged the battery directly to the charger, which is the traxxas one, and its not blinking red like it is supposed to. it stays steady green indicating that it is fully charged. At this point I'm thinking justifying the purchase of radio, receiver upgrade. I know its stupid but this is pissing me off. The car runs great enginewise. This is electronic crap.
 
My old t-maxx had the same problem. Your receiver is dead. Mine died for no reason. I pick one up off of eBay and replaced it. I haven't had a problem with it since.
