Default Chirping motor

I've got an Eflite Power 25 with Castle T-bird 64amp Esc. Today as I was checking my controls in preperation to go to the field, the prop stopped spinning and would just jerk in place as it made a chirping noise? The battery was fully charged and all other controls continued working properly. I re-bound the tx to the receiver and got the same result.
All help appreciated,
Ed

Some times it is the timing, broken wire that can make that happen. Did the ESC get reset?

Buzz, I'm not sure what you mean by reset the esc? I'll pull the cowl and check the wires to the motor.

Unplugged everthing , hooked it back up it works great now? Believe me when I say I will do extensive taxiing and preflite before letting it off the ground again.

If your ESC can be programmed, resetting it back to defaults.

Glad it works again.

Buzz.
