I'm trying to get this to work so I can run the ROAR regionals, which in my region require the blinking light for stock and pro stock. If I can't get it to work I'll probably skip the race as I don't want to buy a new ESC for one race. My only other option is to use an old Novak GTB I have, but I'm not sure how competative it would be.
All of our GT series ESC, the red/green blinking LED are located at the BOTTOM of the ESC circuit board. We have these ESC came out way beyond the no timing rule came out so we cannot relocate the whole design because of 1 rule (techically, it is not even a rule, it is a ROAR recommendation).

The GT series ESC should have a smoked color (1/2 clear) bottom case so the blinking red LED should be able to be seen from the bottom, or the side...

If you do have a solid black bottom case...your GT must be more then 2 years old.......I do have extra smoked color bottom case that I can send to you so you can replace the solid one...

One more thing...once you have updated to 508 no timing software, you must turn off the ESC, and recalibrate the radio in order to see the red blinking light....
