robot not moving?

[plargen]

i tried that with my set up and it didn't it could just be the v trail but when i disconnected both and added a separate BEC it worked

so ive got to cut the red radio wires coming off the esc and add an external power sorce to the reciver

[plargen]

well on the vid is shows you how to pop them out incase you ever need the bec .. and then u just use some insulating tale to rap them up............. it might work if you just disconnect 1 i think it depends on the v trail but i read on another post that your better off with a separate bec cos if the controller gives up u can still use weapons and 1 side of ur bot will still work

I used them up until a few days ago in Eric Jr and didn't use a external BEC or do any surgery on the wires.

Few simple things you can check:

Are the switches on the ESC in the ON position?
Are the batteries charged?
Is it wired up ok?

A few photos might help us

thanks it now only works (very badley) for the first few seconds?

shove a picture up of how you've wired it. btw it's a good idea to take the switches off and solder the wires together.
