No throttle from my SR515 receiver

[RCaDDict666]

Hello everyone! So I have a Traxxas MAXX with a VXL-6S ESC and motor combo. I bought an SR515 receiver to connect it to my DX5C transmitter. I’m not getting any throttle. I have steering because I’m using a UBEC but no throttle at all. I’ve tried calibrating the ESC but don’t get the correct light when I pull full throttle after holding the EZSET button. Just seeing if anyone had the same issue and if it’s something I’m doing wrong. Thanks in advance.

Did you remove the tab on the esc plug, it's on the control wire side..

Yes I sure did. That was the only way I could get it to plug into the receiver.

Using a UBEC?
Did you disconnect the ESC power wire? Can't have 2 power sources, hopefully you didn't damage the esc. Also:
All trims at 0?
Dual rate at 100%?

Yes I did reconnect the power wire. Everything was working fine when I was running the stock receiver.

Disconnect** not reconnect

Best is always to start 'fresh'.
Remove the UBEC and just use ESC power.
Disconnect your steering servo.
Install the ESC connection on Channel 2 (turning) and pretend your steering is throttle for now. ESC power wire reconnected, of course.
Ideally, use a new model on your DX5.
Can you bind? Sounds like that works but do it again in this configuration.
Does it now calibrate/throttle range adjust?
- If yes, your ESC is just fine. Before you say, it doesn't. Follow the bind instructions for this receiver, they are different from stock manual. Also make sure that transmitter is 3-6 ft away from receiver.
If the calibration worked, without changing anything else, move from steering channel to throttle channel and do the throttle range adjust one more time.
