http://www.amazon.com/Pk-100-Bullet...ref=sr_1_6?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1334415520&sr=1-6
- Twisted Servo Extension Cable 12" Female - Female

I did all the connections. Am I correct in assuming that it is a pre-programmed controller and all I have to do is plug and play. I connected all the wires to the control board. When I connect the battery after all the connections, I see a solid red LED light on the control board, solid green on the receiver and solid green on the transmitter. When I tried moving the sticks on the transmitter nothing happens.
I tried keeping the throttle in the low position, all trims in the middle before connecting the battery. After connecting the battery I moved throttle to left and right.
To check ESC and motor 1 (2, 3, 4), I connected ESC to receiver throttle (3rd position). Turned on the transmitter with throttle high position. Connected the battery, heard a musical tone, when I move the throttle the motor responds.
I attached few images below.
Thanks in advance.
