Traxxas xl-5 esc blinking green

[SpeedyBooty]

My xl-5 esc is just stuck on blinking green, I’ve tried to recalibrate it, re bind remote and tx, looked up this issue and tried very possible solution and it’s frustrating me

Fast blinking green is no signal. Double check it's plugged in solidly in channel 2 of receiver (some Traxxas receivers have two channel 1 (steering) ports).

What color is the receiver LED? Should be solid green when bound... so should the LED on your radio.

I’m actually using a redcat transmitter ( rcr-2ce ) the receiver light is solid when I connect, both rx and tx are solid lights

But when I plug the esc into Channel 1 the light on the esc turns solid red

You should be using Channel 2 like @9x19 Mentioned. Ch2 is throttle channel.

yes I’m aware I was just saying that channel 2 doesn’t seem functional

Does steering servo work on channel two? If not, replace your receiver.

check the wires on the futaba plug. both at plug end and internally.. could ever be a broken rx wire..

Yea my receiver seems to be broken on channel 2

A bad servo might cause this issue as well so if you replace the RX and still have the same issue, it could be your servo.

I'm curious as you have two threads talking about the same thing. Is this the same vehicle or a different one? Only reason I ask is that in the other thread when asked "Steering works with the trigger when you swapped channels?" you answered yes. To me that says CH2 is working and you might have something else going on.

I guess you could say that yes but I have concluded my channel 2 on the receiver isn’t working seems lile the esc is just fine , it’s a shame it’s basically brand ew

Not sure if this helps, sure you have the manual
