EMaxx Is Not Moving AT ALL! Help!
Hi
I just got this new Emaxx. (14.4V off eBay)
Well, after quick successful run, I slapped on a pair of fresh batteries.
After attempting to boot the ESC, or booting the ESC. I flip the on/off switch.
Push the SEt button
And it comes on with a red light...nothing works... I'm not sure if it's my throttle trim, my throttle controls are mixed up btw(How do I fix it? Reverse throttle)...
I don't know hot to reprogram the ESC, perhaps, someone can take a video doing it?
BTW, it's the old EMaxx, the 14.4V EVX.
Please help!

have you visited traxxas.com? if the truck has the stock electronics then you'll find troubleshooting information in the owner's manual. you can view or download the manual here:

So, is the EVX-2 (the one in the 3905) the same as the EVX (the one in the older model, 14.4)?
I will definitely be looking into it when I get home from school. Thanks so much!

here's the link to the evx speed control instruction:

it's a little different, but the red light indicates the programming mode (as stated by drifting dragon). read the .pdf and you should be all set.

After a succesful programming, I thought it was still broken, contacted Technical Support, and I'm amazed, at how much he knew that I knew so much, at 13... -.- I'll take that as a compliment lol. And it turns out, it works fine.. My ESC was at a low cutoff, and I was too lazy to charge it.. So, my charger is coming, on the way.
