brushless 1/5 4wd conversion about to begin! couple questions.

[Metallover]

Do you have the motor plugged in? Properly? Maybe try plugging in the battery with the turorrle held all the way down on the transmitter. Have a separate bec plugged in?

Don't know why I'm saying all this... Doubt you're doing anything wrong. You're experienced enough. Wonder what castle says.

Edit- Looked at the led meanings sticky in the cc forum. It only says it's for car controllers, but it might be somewhat universal. Solid red or green means full throttle or reverse. Doubt the little flash of hape you got was that, but it might be. Maybe you have the rx plug plugged in backwards?
