It would help to have a little more information. For instance, receiver pack voltage, wiring configuration.....maybe a pic of how it is currently set-up?

 

[redcatmt]

it is basic set up..... 3000 mah battery........throttle slot 1 on rec ...steering slot 2....on /off switch in slot marked b/c....


nothing.........

Do you have a killswitch or the stock failsafe?

 

[mooman007uk]

try going direct without the on off switch and see if you get power, that'll eliminate the switch

Also make sure that the plugs are installed the correct way, some will fit both directions and usually the black wire in the plug goes closest to the outside of the reciever

 

[redcatmt]

no kill switch....just built in failsafe......

Here is a stupid question, Are the crystals installed correctly?

 

[mooman007uk]

[redcatmt]
