Default tekin b1r problems

just wondering if anyone been having problems with b1r's. just got a brand new one yesterday, hooked it up and set programs with hotwire and ran arund house for about 5 minutes and everything worked nice. when to a buddies house to crawl today, turned it on and maybe about 1/3 throttle and moved it forward about 3ft. and it quit moving, no smoke no pops or crackles, nothing, but still have steering. the lights on b1r move according to movement on transmitter throttle so i no it's receiving. also when you power it up now it does not do the chime sound either. what ya guys think, call tekin or am i doing something wrong. it's in my mini crawler with cc bec, holmes hobbies 33t motor and 3s lipo, i put my fxr from my xr10 in it and it works fine.

Swap the ESC & steering plugs in the RX, see if the steering moves the ESC or the throttle trigger makes it steer. This will let you know if it's a RX issue.

Try recalibrating the ESC to the RX (back in it's correct RX port) if the RX seems to be working correctly.

already did the swap at the rx and steering moved to the trigger and still no throttle, recalibrated tx to the rx didn't help, the esc is receiving signal because when you slowly give throttle 1 light on esc comes on, a little more throttle and next light comes on until you get to full throttle all lights come on.

I would say it's time to contact Tekin.

Since the FX-R runs the motor, your motor sounds OK. The only thing left is the B1R.
