| Mamba 25 problem
I just got a mamba 25 back from castle, to go with the one I have for my clod 2.2. Heres the problem, I can program the one I had with the castle link no problem, I thought I programed the new one to, but when I drovew it it didn't seem to have any of the settings I tried to upload. Now it doesn't even try to comunicate with the castle link, and if you turn on the truck the rear esc beeps and sinks up but the new on just sits there with the red light flashing. I can't get the new on to work or hook up to the computer, the old one still works both on the truck and the computer. Any ideas?? its a brand new mamba 25.

This could be dumb question, but do you have a battery plugged in to it? Mine does not require a battery to be plugged in while programming. And if I remember right, having the battery plugged in while the Castle Link is connected caused me problems as well.

| Same thing happened to me when I got one for my RC18B. I had the battery plugged into it and it caused some problems. Like K_B said also. Just unplug the battery from it before you use the Castle Link. |

It's not even in the truck, so no battery, I've done this a hundred times with other mambas with no problems.

reboot the computer, update the usb drivers, reboot the computer, update the castle link, reboot computer and retry again. If the controller is newer than your castle link version it wont connect properly.

I have all the new stuff for the computer, the esc won't even work on the truck. You turn it on and the red light just blinks rapidly, no tones or nothing. I can't manualy program it, it doesn't want to start up.
