The green light on the hotwire is blinking very rapidly and the red light on the esc is also blinking very rapidly. I have tried my other tekin esc's and they all work fine so I assume the RX-8 has an issue....

Can someone chime in and tell me what might be wrong?

Thanks!!
2 things to check:

1. Make 100% sure your HW is all the way seated onto the USB cable.

2. Make sure you're using the latest software downloaded here: www.teamtekin.com/hotwire.html
