Default Tekin RS ESC problem

I was practicing on Frida with the new Tekin software trying to get my car set up for the race on Saturday. I bumped a wall and the car stopped. I cannot figure out what is wrong. I have changed motors and sensor wires all with the same results. With a motor sodered on when you power the ESC the out side two lights light up and it does not make noise. If no motor is sodered on it does its lil tune and when u pull trigger the lights go left to right! Anyone have any ideas. I was witha tekin team driver on saturday and thy werent sure what it was either. I am going to email tekin today as well. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

Chech manual. Outside LED's 1,2&6,7 indicates wrong motor is chosen. Brushed or brushless. Check LED #6, set it where your motor selected. ESC will not adjust without a motor. So completely install ESC. Unusual that the tekins driver could not tell you.

When motor is selected, redo your TX calibration.

Can you access the ESC via Hotwire?

Try it again at home. Manual tells you in trouble shooting section. I believe its the last on trouble shooting section. ESC cannot be adjusted w/o a motor installed. Recheck your wiring, Calibrate your TX. W/o Hotwire Check LED#6 and set the motor used, Brushed or Brushless. W/hotwire set to motor type.

If you lost the manual, go to Tekins websight, either read or Download it.
