Since you have a FAST system from Futaba, you will need to make sure that the receiver is linked to the transmitter. The picture on your post shows a FAST radio, but Futaba also made a T7CAP that is not 2.4 Ghz. Please let me know if this is the case.
You did not indicate whether you had any lights on the receiver, so I will assume that you have a red LED that is on. If there is no indication of the receiver being powered up, I would recommend that you try powering the receiver with a 4.8V battery pack for testing purposes. The BEC may be faulty and not able to power up your system.
If you have a red LED on the receiver, then you will need to press the link button on the receiver and get the radio to communicate with the receiver.
Link Procedure Each transmitter has an individually assigned, unique ID code. In order to start operation, the receiver must be linked with the ID code of the transmitter with which it is being paired. Once the link is made, the ID code is stored in the receiver and no further linking is necessary unless the receiver is to be used with another transmitter. When you purchase another R617FS, this procedure is necessary; otherwise the receiver will not work. 1. Place the transmitter and the receiver close to each other within one (1) meter 2. Turn on the transmitter. 3. Check the LED that is placed on the back side of the transmitter to see if the RF signal is active. When the green LED is ON solid, the RF signal is being sent. 4. Turn on the receiver. 5. Press down the "Easy Link(ID SET)" switch for more than one second, and release the switch. The receiver starts the linking operation. 6. When the linking is complete, the LED in the receiver will change to solid green. Please confirm that the servos will now operate by your transmitter. Please refer to the table below for the LED status of the receiver's condition.

I just read the rest of your post and see that you do not have any light on the receiver, that is an indication that either your BEC is not sending power to the receiver or that the receiver is bad. I still suggest that you try with a 4.8 V battery pack to verify that the receiver is able to power up.I just read the rest of your post and see that you do not have any light on the receiver, that is an indication that either your BEC is not sending power to the receiver or that the receiver is bad.

I think the battery case you are using may not be the correct one and this can happen also when the correctcrating is not provided to the system.try to check the battery.thank you
