Default MRC Issue Not Operating anymore...

Well I searched this forum for similar problems, most i have seen are in regards to binding issues or dead batteries.

History;

The crawler operated for quite some time on a 7.4v 1000mah lipo for almost its entire life thus far. Then one day it stopped working so I ordered a new ESC but got lazy to install it. Finally installed it and problem is still there.

Problem:

crawler does not operate. I turn on the crawler WITHOUT the bind plug the receiver light goes green and looks like its blinking soo fast it looks like its solid, or it could be solid not sure but none the less it does not operate.

I turn on the crawler WTIH the bind plug and the receiver just blinks the green led two blinks, slight pause, two blinks, slight pause.... over and over... indefinitely. again no operation.

The transmitter blinks orange and then goes solid as normal

Solutions tried with no luck;

Replaced ESC
Made sure battery pack is charged
Tried multiple battery packs
Changed transmitter batteries


Any suggestions???

Thanks in advance!

As shadow stated or also make sure that the plugs are in the correct spots. I have put the esc plug in the aux/battery slot and had a similar issue.

Your description of the problem is identical to the problem I had with a faulty Tx. Lucky for me I had just bought my MRC and so my LHS swapped out the controller for a new one, no questions asked. I haven't had the problem since. Try a different controller and see if that is the problem. I would call Losi and see if they will give you a new one under warranty.
