Default If I dont get any led's on my ax-2 is it bad?

I just went thru a battery pack lastnight in my honcho with the factory 2.4ghz tx/rx. I went to take it out today and I have no communication between the tx/rx. Put brand new batterys in tx and tried a handfull of freshly charged batterys in my honcho.

I have both lights on the tx but none on my rx. I used another tx/rx combo on the truck and it worked fine. I tried to rebind without success.

Is it trash, or is there something else I can try?

I assume you turned the ESC on? Could be a bad switch.

Yes, I tested it on multiple ESC's. Even my bad boy BR-XL.

I took the reciever apart and didnt find any visably burnt up components. Gave the tx/rx to my electronic savvy buddy to figure out. Told him he can keep it even if he gets it going. Will let you guys know if he figures it out.

Yeah, sounds like a bad RX. There may be some conductive grit on the board or other crap causing improper operation, or a part that has lifted from the board. Sometimes electronics do die without a sign though.
