Need some help solving this issue.
Flashing Red Light on ESC, when I switch it on. No throttle, no steering. But FAN IS WORKING. Everything is cooled down.
Lipo is fully charged, so nothing to do with low voltage shut off (ESC manual says flashing red light is low voltage shut off). New batteries in transmitter. Zeroed the throttle trim and steering trim.
Has this ESC finally bricked it? I mainly do jumps, and I do hit the ground quite hard. Perhaps the ESC finally packed up?
Time to order the 2022 XTR and Max6 ESC?
Let me know if there is a solution.
 
If it's blinking red rapidly it may be a transmitter/receiver issue. When you power it on does it flash green then switch and stay on red, if so it "usually" means it's not talking with your radio, try to rebind or swap to a different one if you've got one, my guess is the receiver died but hard to say for sure
 
Have you checked the voltage on your battery with a tester? Battery might be knackered. Having said that I'd expect the steering to work if that was the case.
 
Thanks for the suggestions. I managed to solve the issue if anyone was wondering. It was the ESC.

I tried swapping out each component individually. Only when I switched the ESC did everything begin working again.

I am still thinking about getting the 2022 XTR and putting in a Max6 ESC and 1650kv motor.
 
Good deal, I'm running that combo on my 8s Kronos, it rips, unfortunately my max6 died prematurely, guessing I just got a lemon
