Ok, so i have been away from RC for well over 2 years now. My traxxas stampede 4x4 has been just sitting on the shelf, not getting driven because i broke a half shaft. I finally get that fixed, then i cycled and charged my lipo. Plug the battery into the receiver and turn on the radio then the ESC and all the receiver does is blink red. It turns on, but it wont do anything. I know one issue could be with binding, but i think it blinks too fast for that to be the issue. What is wrong?
Thanks in advance

It has the stock traxxas VXL brushless system in it. And like i said it turns on, but i have no throttle, brake, or steering.

My first post I thought the ESC lights were blinking...that's why I asked which ESC you were using.

It was a binding issue. I got the receiver rebound to the transmitter and it all works. This is the first run through this 2S lipo in probable 2.5 years or so. It seems a little slower then i thought it was. If i drive it till it runs dead, then cylce/re-charge the battery will that make any difference? Sorry for the stupid questions, been away from the hobby for a long time.
Thanks for all the help!
