So I am trying to get an old RC buggy running again. I have to use an NIMH battery because my battery tray won't hold a LIPO battery. My ESC is an Hobbywing EZRUN Max10 and I have the program card for it. I also have a Hobbywing motor in it as well. So with my NIMH battery when I turn on the ESC it blinks red and it a gives throttle for about 5 seconds and then the ESC shuts off. What settings do I need to change on my ESC with my program card for the NIMH battery to work? Thanks for your time guys!

Did you connect it to the special programming port or did you use the cable that is connected to the receiver?
Here the manual: HW-SMA527DUL-V2_XERUN XR10-Justock G3(Handout Spec)_220407

Looking through their list of manuals, there is this one,,,, https://support.hobbywingdirect.com/...20207098354579 and you may be able to disable the LVC without using a program card by just using the set button at the esc.

As the manual state:
If that did not work then just use the pushbutton to go through the menu.
the programming port of this ESC is also the fan port, so you need to unplug the fan first and then plug (one end of) the programming cable in the PRG/FAN port and the other end (of the programming cable) in the ESC port on the LCD program box. Please don’t use the throttle control cable (also called Rx cable) on the ESC to connect the program card/box, otherwise the program card/box won’t function.

So when I plug in my battery and power on the ESC it turns green for a second and then it stays flashing red. There is no throttle. but the front wheels will turn back and forth. My program card isn't working. How do I fix this? Thanks for your time guys!
