I have 2 1/18 rc's running on castle creations sidewinder sport esc/ brushless combo. Both are not working and have same symptoms.
They either: power up, beep twice and die or
power up, allows calibration for throttle w/ green light but gets
no response when calibrating reverse.
The red light just keeps on blinking.
Tried to contact Castle but they have not responded yet. Was hoping to play w/ them this weekend. Any help would be appreciated.

If I understand your symptoms right, when they power up and the red LED flashes that means
"Flashing Green OR Red while beeping = indicates speed control is looking for full throttle (green) or full throttle (red). If it continues for more than ~ 8 seconds, indicates speed control is seeing partial throttle (green) or reverse (red), increase endpoints on transmitter so speed control sees full throttle/reverse.
Increase your end points onteh radio and try again.
