Ok. I plug the battery in. Turn the car on. Everything is normal. I got a green light on the esc. But as soon as I turn the reciever on the esc blinks red really fast. Any ideas??

Have tried re-binding the RX to the TX?
Try binding them together again, and make sure all your wires are plugged in -/- +/+

i can't even do that. it just blinks i can't even shut it off, i have to unplug it! but i looked it up on Google/you tube and i guess a lot of these have problems with the steering servo going out and the vxl3s displays a faded blinking red light. so I'm guessing ill have to replace the steering servo.

well got to looking more and took the cover off the receiver box and sure enough this servo is bad..i unplugged the steering servo and got all my green lights back and power. the bad part was i picked up a 3s lipo battery today and have not even been able to see whats its got. next investment besides the servos going to be some new tires! these ones on it are horrible. i can't even imagine this 3s on these tires.
Traxxas will send you a new esc and servo if you have the receipt from buying new.
