You're intermingling motor controller terminology (Jaguars and Talons). It's important to know which you are actually using. I'm guessing you actually have Talons since you mentioned them also.
An uncalibrated Talon can flash red (or green) when it's just sitting there because it's slightly out of calibration. You should go through the calibration process for each Talon and see if that takes care of your issue.
Basically press and hold the calibrate button on the Talon, then run your controller full forward and full reverse a couple of times, then release the calibrate button.
