Hi All, complete novice here, so here goes.
Bought & built the monster beetle a few years ago & unbelievably everything worked well.
Put it away for a while (2 years ) & now i can't get it to work.

I have a flashing red light.   New batteries in transmitter & two fully charged receiver batteries.
Any help would be appreciated 🙏

We're going to need a bit more information than that, I mean I could guess that it's a re-release Monster Beetle with a Tamiya electronic speed control, in which case a constantly flashing on it means no radio signal received ... pics would probably be better than us asking lots of questions  
 

I'm not sure what's needed tbh, so I hope there's something useful here.
Transmitter on first
Receiver next & this is when I get red flashing light & beeping. I've googled & you tubed but nothing helps 😕

Photos were helpful - looks like you've got everything plugged in where it ought to be ... the beeping is the speed control pulsing the motor, to confirm the flashing LED is on the speed control next to the steering servo?

 TBH the only thing I can suggest at this point is the receiver has lost binding to the transmitter, so try to re-bind them? manualzz.com/do...r-handling page 25?

I have red flashing light on first diagram

And a tiny green flashing light on the second one 

Like said Jonny, you need to bind the transmiter and receiver. Except if you have the steering. If the steering works, you need to bind the esc with radio.

Cheers, I'll have a go at that & see what happens.
I think i know the answer to this but my WiFi security cameras shouldn't affect it should they 🤔
