Default Punk Problems ***HELP COMP TOMORROW***

well we had an open house for our club today, as well as the grand opening for PM Hobby Crafts south location. just screwin around running some gates. was working FINE!! if not perfect. hit lipo cutoff, shut everyhting down and go have a smoke. come back shoot the chit with some guys, plug in my next batt. drop it down and NO DIG. here is the current diagnosis

green light on punk is flashing continuously
all for wheels spin
checked all wires and connections, looks good
nothing smells bad
radio has been double checked by two people
NO DIG

been told this may be the signal wire from the punk, but it looks good.
this is pretty stressful as we have a series comp tomorrow.

any help would be great, if not guess Im going dual fxrs in a real hurry.

Try resoldering all of your signal wires on the board. I had a few of those break connection when I used the punk dig.

...well just tried the signal wire. re did everything from ground zero. still nothing. no dig. not sure what else it could be? faulty punk? I wouldnt think so as this has been good to me all summer.

If u have another reciver I would swap em and try that. Or plug a spare servo into the reciver and make sure the 3rd channel is working properly. Odd for it to quit like that.

well... it was like one of those "spot the difference" picture things. stare at one thing for so long that the obvious is right in your face. black wire off the punk... 2mm fom the signal wire I was staring at for almost an hour and a half.
