Definitely call Tekin. They will point you in the right direction.

It really is as simple as plugging in a charged battery and turning the switch on to power it up.

If it doesn't work like that, you've either got something wrong or the esc is hurt.

Good luck.

Finding some pit help is not usually a problem. Just ask around when you get to the track. Plenty of guys willing to help out.
