Traxxas Bandit ESC Set

I wanted to test my Traxxas to make sure it would run, since I haven't touched it since pre-covid, and ran into a small problem. Something must have gone wrong between the remote controller and Electronic Speed Controller (ESC), because it wasn't driving. It was turning, but not driving. I noticed the ESC LED was blinking red and green. 

I did some googling and found this from Traxxas: https://traxxas.com/support/What-Do-When-ESC-Flashing-Red-and-Green

I'm pretty sure I just reset the ESC and paired it with the remote again, or something similar. 

I tested the car again, and it "drove". The suspension has been taken apart, so I had to hold it up a little and test it (since I only have two arms, I couldn't film it). 

I thought I'd post this in case anyone else ran into this problem.
