Default Problems binding mamba 5700

I am trying to bind my mamba 5700 but having a problem. when I turn the switch one I don't get the tone to start binding. Although when I do switch it on I get steering that is all, no throttle. All 3 lights are on and stay on. Something is keeping me from binding it.

Any help would be great. Thanks

What radio/ receivers do you have? Where is your throttle trim set at?

well I just did that and still nothing. The thing that gets me is I don't get the funny tones when I turn it on. I have never had this issue before with having no tone. Usually the red light blinks and the tone rings at the same time.

It may sound silly but check to make sure you have your plugs the right way in the Rx.

If you have another setup try binding on it, after once bound I have never had problems moving a receiver around.

Well I tried it in my truck and it works fine. i am now thinking something is wrong in the bullet connectors. My other setup I got rid of the bullets and did a straight solder. I am gunna get rid of them anyway maybe that might solve the issue
