Default Help with electronics

I have a Bolink and a Traxxis Rustler that i can't figure out what is wrong with them. When i turn them on, the light on the ESC lights up, but nothing happens. I've tried switching out all the working ESC's that i have and all the recievers that i found and nothing seems to make them work. If anyone has any idea on what is causing it, I would appriciate it.

Have you tried using a different battery? Seems to me your battery is not providing sufficient power to run the motor, just turn the ESC on.

sounds like you havent programed the ESC

most will flash when first powerd up , at this point hit the throttle ,the led should then change colour or stop flashing then hit the brakes (same will hapen with led)
then let it go back to neutral
thats it should be set

When i turn it on, both the red and green lights flash on then off, then after about a second the green comes back on. Is that the same as what u were talking about Reaper?
