Default new crawler with some issues

Just finished my build of a stretched out TLT. I used the JUNFAC 4 link kit, axle brace, and drive shaft to stretch it out. Running 2.2 moab tires, locked front and rear differentials with jb weld. Replaced the stock center differential with a Tamiya TA04 center dif and locked it with jb weld as well. I am running with the stock spur gear, stock motor and a duratrax sprint ESC.
My only problem is that the truck will run forward and bit and stop. I could see the red light on the esc come on and it will not work until the light turns green.
It till not crawl at all. Any ideas as to what might be the problem. One other question I have is; how do you wire a 45T Integy motor? Sounds like a stupid question, I looked at the end of the bell and there are 6 tabs, two which are labled positive, two which have springs on them and two which have wires on them.
Any help to get my crawler off the bench and out on the rocks would be greatly appreciated.

This is sounds like you need a reciever pack, or an ESC with a bigger BEC current.

Cheers 8-)

If I'm reading it right,my brother is having kindly the same troubles. He's gonna come up in the next couple days so we can try to put a reciever pack on his. I'm guessing that'll fix it,but like I said,it's a guess. I'll post up our results as soon as we see them. Might help?

wiring the motor---
there are 4 flat tabs
2+
2-

solder red to one of the + and black to one of the -

the tabs just give you options on where you want to run your wires, if you find the motor spins backwards spin the endbell 180* and it will spin right.

Does your radio have EPAs? It sounds like you might not have enough throw on the throttle channel. When you pull the throttle, when does the light on the ESC turn green? Never or momentarily or what? Also make sure your antenna isn't touching the metal chassis plates.
