Have you armed the throttle? Usually, you need to follow a specific sequence to get the throttle channel working. It's a saftey measure.

Sorry, I thought it was an aircraft. They have an ESC that needs to be armed so the prop doesn't start spinning unexpectedly. I know nothing about RC Cars. Usually, on aircraft, you turn on the TX then RX and ESC, the ESC gives you some indication it is on, you then advance the throttle to full on and then to full off. It beeps or flashes or something telling you the ESC is armed. Which means when you
advance the throttle, the prop starts to spin.

[8D]Also you might reverse your throttle setting...this might be your problem. Remember you have to Advance the throttle to High...then move it to Low...then back up to
high to arm the throttle..
