Questions?? vtx 10-r issue

I have a vtx10-r that I purchased brand new form LHS and I ran it 1 race night, I ran it in the "blinky" mode and it ran pretty well. It is in an AE b44.3 with a 6.5T reds motor at 0* timing advance. I took temps after every run and never exceeded 115*. After the racing, I asked a local fast guy at the track to take the buggy for a spin and help me with setup suggestions. He took it for 1 lap and pulled the buggy over to adjust the travel in my remote, after that the buggy has had no more drive at all. We reset the travel back to where it was and still nothing.

When i power the esc it will turn on with normal lights, but has no forward or reverse action. My steering works, so I know its not a dead receiver, but just in case, I tried with a spare receiver and it did the same exact thing. It has steering, but no esc action.

If I try to go into programing mode, it will get a solid red light that will never go away. At that point anything I do to the esc will not work. It will not even shut off, unless I pull the battery. I try by pressing the power button for several seconds and wait for the beeping, but it never happens and never changes lights.

I found this video on yt ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7Z_-G74ORo )and it is doing the same thing as mine, where it gets stuck on this red light and then is unresponsive to any other presses.

Has anyone else had this issue at all ? It is a practically new esc, so I have no idea what may have happened. Any help at all would be much appreciated!

I tried looking up this issue but have come up short on my searching, and I am sorry, but I'm not about to read 700+ pages of this thread to see if I can find the same issue on here, so I apologize if this has been addressed before, but maybe someone can help or point me in the right direction...
