Default Noob question

Hi, I'm new at the crawler scene. So bare with me.

I just recently purchased an exceed maxstone 10 crawler and now suddenly I went to go crawling and now it seems that the receiver isn't picking up the transmitter signal. The servo steers just fine but the throttle doesn't work. Your help is much appreciated!

Thanks!

If you can swap the ESC & steering servo connections at the RX (receiver), see if the TX throttle makes it steer. This will tell if the radio is OK.

You may have to recalibrate the ESC to the RX.

Does the ESC have any lights on?
Do the lights change when you go from forward to reverse?

I just swapped the esc and servo connections and it doesn't steer but the wheel on the transmitter runs forward and reverse just fine... It must be my radio?

Likely an issue with the RX. Cheap way is to try another similar RX and see if it works.
