How long have you had this problem? When it happened to me it was because the ESC did read the receiver. I replaced my receiver. It worked as advertised.

A. Did you take a huge jump
B. Get super wet
C. How old is your servo? Back EMF can short your receiver from the servo

I had bought the xmaxx of of someone he said everything was recently bought he didn’t mess with it anymore since he wanted out of the hobby it’s been a month now it did once run but it has problems reading the controller so I can’t calibrate it
 
Yeah man. Tell you what. Get yourself a new receiver. It will be the easiest thing to try. If that works. It either took a hard landing or you may need to upgrade the servo soon.

But less than 50$ you should be good. It’s what I had to do. Good luck!!

What esc would you recommend to match the motor of the hobby wing
 
I’m running G2 Max5 5690 1200kv combo in XMaxx. It will be a beast. But it will need belted tires if you don’t already have some. Get the Hammer comes on the Ultimate.

Ok is there a different one hw is a bit pricey for me right now will any 1/5 esc work with the hw motor?
 
Kinda. You will want at least 160a minimum. If you are on a budget. Try Jenny’s RC. They sell new parts off of new cars. Look for the Kraton or Outcast EXB ESC. That V2 Spectrum is a sibling of the Max 6. At a great price.

Ok so a 160amp spektrum esc would work?
 
My first suggestion is to put where you live in your signature. There may be a fellow member just down the street who can assist.

Your already owned HW Max5 is more than enough for your Xmaxx. Unless a cap blew or it was severely overheated without the over temp kicking in, i would guess there is nothing wrong with the HW Max5.

As suggested find a different receiver to test or buy a new one since Flysky RX's are super cheap. You can always use it down the road on another RC if that is not the issue. Fully charge your Flysky Radio to eliminate the TX. I've had RX's not bind because the radio was below 50% charge.
