Try and set your throttle trim , as you turn the knob look at your esc lights to see it they change colors.

I guess you could try and rebind your radio to the receiver and see if that helps the problem.

You should get 2 sets of tones from the motor, first set for turning on, second set for arming the ESC.

If you are not getting the second set of tones, then your esc is not arming, due to the throttle being not in the zero trim, or an issue with the receiver.

I would try and rebind the receiver first, and then work from there.

Maybe when the car had a nice full charge the mmp, which is known to have the worst bec to ever be installed into a product probably it was a stolen Novak design, it would scrape by.

Of course your problem has been resolved on this board at least 5x a day for the last 5 years, and even resolved in this thread.

do you have a red and green light on top of your transmitter?

disconnect your servo and try just the ESC into the receiver. See if your servo is creating feedback issues.

P.S. The Axial receiver is known for taking a poop without warning
