Default esc

i have a sidewinder micro esc that im going to be running in my ax10 with a intergy 55t. i manualy programed it for brushed motors. now when i pull the throttle the green light comes on but nothing happens, same thing when i go in reverse, the red light comes on but nothing happens. the servo works fine though. i ordered a castle link if that helps. can you tell me what to do???

you could get a small light bulb with 2 wire leads coming off of it to test for power too.... hook it to the motor leads and if it lights up when you accelerate its getting power!
