Default help with electronics

i need a hand getting my axial running. i have it wired up like the instructions but its still not moving. its been so long since i delt with electric cars. anyone in the southwest burbs willing to help me out, theres a case in it for you.

rooster crawler combo and airtronics M8


p.s. if someone else has an extra set of steering links(the lower long one, end to end), there is another case in it for them too

Did ya set up the esc per the instructions? I've got the crawlr esc and if I remember right ya gotta hold the black set-up button on the esc till it blinks then pull the trigger to full throttle till it changes color the let off to neutral then push to rev till light goes to green or red solid? I can't find my instructions to mine now, go figure! Hope that helps If I had the time i'd meet ya somewhere and try to figure it out, i've gotta work today to make up for no work on the 4th!

what do you need a second steering set for... your not putting on rear steer are you? Keep in mind rear steer is not comp legal. Ill check when I get home, I know I have the linkage ends. You could always make some from brakeline and dubro rod ends.

As for checking your wiring and getting set up, Im out of town right now but if I get back soon enough tomorrow I can see if I can help you out.
