Go though all your elecs. Make sure everything is connected. Make sure all are connected correctly. Make sure there are no damaged wires. Make sure your RX and TX are calibrated. Make sure your battery is connected. Check to see if there is some barrier, etc. that could keep the tx and rx from talking to each other.

Honestly its amazing some of the things we forget or miss over the years

everything appears to be hooked up.... I'm wondering though.... the transmitter is traxxas part# 2242 and is just a 2.4ghz and the reciever is part# 2218 which is traxxas link.....would this be the reason these won't work with each other?

If this is the case, whats the part# of the reciever I need for mine?

well I think I figured it out...... the transmitter is traxxas p/n-2242 which is the older 2.4 remote and the reciever is the newer traxxas link reciever p/n-2218

so I need the older traxxas 2.4 receiver p/n 2217... does this sound right to anyone?
