Anyone local to me?

Hi all, I need a hand in getting my tug setup. I bought it ready built and fitted my reciever and it all lights up
But for the life of me I can’t get it running. Is there anybody close to Epsom Surrey who could take a look and tell me where I’m going wrong?
Regards
Darren

Hi If not I'm sure someone could walk you through it.make a list of what you have fitted and how you have connected up the receiver to the Esc (speed controller} battery /servo and how you did the binding of the radio gear . cheers

Do the motors 'twitch' or 'play tunes' when you switch on?
Can you post a pic of your transmitter?

Update here chaps and it’s not good.... following Stand kind advice I’ve reattached one red wire but it’s still not functioning properly. I can’t seem to get the right channels working on the transmitter.

I know it will be a bit irritating, but list what is working / what isn't!
It'll help you.... us define the problem.
eg:
CH 1 - Rudder - Good, L/R OK
CH 2 - Starboard Motor -
CH 3 - Port Motor -
CH 4 - Bow Thruster -
