why won't it work

[cperry]

Ok I've got a new revention esc and 5.5t combo and new code rc radio gear.it's all wired up, I've got steering but can't get the motor moving, sensor cable is connected. I've got a red and yellow led lit on the esc.

The esc instructions say "in normal use, with the throttle at neutral and the sensor wire connected both will be lit" as both remain lit, does this mean the receiver is not seeing the throttle signal?

Esc has been calibrated too.
