Reprogramming the ESC with full throttle on the controller while switching on the ESC has not helped. Any feedback on this problem is appreciated.
Try turning up the endpoints on the radio then reprogram. If it is moving and the light is flashing at full throttle it means that is not getting to full throttle. Mine has done this sometimes, I have had to program it a couple of times to get it right. Turn the brake up also and if you have too much brake turn the brake down on the ESC with the program and fine tune it at the track with the radio endpoint. I think I am running ~30 % brake on the computer.
Make sure that you got in the programming mode for the ESC I have seen several people have trouble getting the ESC to set until they get used to the way it sets to the radio
