Default mamba issue

well i went to run my mini mt tonight and ran into a problem.... th truck was running fine all day....tonight i turned on the controller and went to drive it and the mamba esc just kept blinking red and wouldnt stop... no steering or throttle...now mind you it ran fine for a minute before this happened, and ran fine all day...im wondering what the problem could be...all my batteries are fully charged. what should i look at the esc? or reciever?

Is it just in programming mode??? One time I flipped that switch on a jump and took the whole car apart before I realized the switch just flipped.[sm=bananahead.gif]

check the receiver wires coming from the esc to the receiver, it has to not be plugged into the receiver
