Totally green noob needing some kind assistance please!
 

Hi all

I'm attempting my first RC kit with my ten year old son. Just broke out all the bits, and stumbled at the first hurdle! I wonder if some experienced member here could please give me some pointers? I have a Tamiya Rising Fighter kit, bundled with a Carson controller and steering servo, along with a Tamiya TBLE-02 ESC and Carson Reflex Wheel Pro 3 receiver. Have followed the instructions to test out the RC electrics before assembling car, as stated, and can't get a thing out of it. I'm sure I'm being a dumb ***, it just can't work out why. All feedback very gratefully received!
