Smile Electronics Problem:Please Help.

I have been doing some searching here and also been talking to a few buddies who have crawlers. I have a problem of no power getting to the recirver or the servo or motor. I charge the battery for a full 45 min(old charger) and when I hook it up to the ESC, I have power, but none of it is getting to the reciever, servo or motor. Im running a tazer ESC, traxas reciever and a hi-tech servo if it halps any. Please gimme your thoughts. Thanks.

sounds like the BEC is bad, or the switch is turned off.

I actually just picked up the esc from my hobby store, its never been used. My buddy was able to get everything hooked up in the right fashion and still nothin. I have no idea what it could be. He thinks it could be the reciever for some odd reason.

My only thought at the moment is to make sure the plug is in the receiver correctly.

very well could be the receiver, do some parts swapping with your buddy to trouble shoot.
