Default Setting up mamba max help

I hold full throttle on my stock wheely king transmitter, then plug the battery in and the green led flashes while it rings a bit.
It says after a few secconds it will go red but it just sits there, green flashing, and no leds after the initial power up one.
Any help?
Stock WK transmitter
traxxas reciever
645mg servo
Integy 55t.

I think when it flashes green, that means to give it full throttle. In other words, after it gets into the program setting, let off. When it flashes green, give it full throttle.

Been a while since I have ran a mamba though.

But when i give it full throttle it doesnt go to red led like it says it will.
I have held it for like up to 15 secconds. Nothing.

you might wanna try to see if the throttle needs to be reversed on the transmitter....i just spent two days messin with mine..one thing i did notice that after programming when you turn it back on..unless it sees neutral it wont let it go to run function...well just mt experience so far..to see if it need reversed try to go full rev first and see what it does..i will pm you my number

No luck.

Are all your EPA's set to 100% and trims set to 0?

Are you letting it go to neutral after it gets into the program mode before you give WOT?

As far as i know there arent any epa's.
Will it hurt if the trims are ever so slightly off?
Hard to get it dead on..
It doesnt go to the neutral mode. Doesnt program the full throttle.

Someone with a stock radio will have to help you then.......it could be one of those 70/30 radios.
