Default cc bec w/ mamba max - no fwd/rev

Just installed my bec, attached the red/black wires to the esc battery wires. Plugged it into the battery slot on my receiver, unplugged the red wire coming from the esc going to the receiver.

Steering still works, and the esc lights up as usual, but the wheels aren't turning. What did I do wrong?

What color is the light on the esc? Did you plug the esc back into the rx?

Light on the bec is green, light on the esc is related to the throttle direction, green for forward, red for reverse.

Do you get the usual tones from the esc when it arms? Any chance a motor wire got disonnected?

Unplugged everything, plugged everything back in, and it works now. No idea what was going on.

Was the light on the ESC yellow? Possible it wasn't armed.
