Status: offline 		Not enough information here to properly troubleshoot so I'll make a few suggestions.

1) Be certain the props are off the motors for testing.

2) The Jeti-77 is an Opto ESC so it needs both power to the ESC from the receiver, battery pack, or UBEC. It also needs the main flight pack connected.

3) Try reversing the channel direction on the Spectrum radio.

4) If it is an Advanced PLUS ESC, plug an Rx. battery into the programming card after first connecting the flight pack.

Good luck!

Status: offline 		it works! you dont cut the red wire and it works. i am amazed that the esc can handle that current. i have 6v for rx and 8s for the motors. I replaced the cut y and the motors spooled right up! nothing got warm at all found a site explaining opto escs and they need rx power. im planning on going 7s each motor 14s total on the plane

Yes, the Jeti-77 is an Opto ESC so there is no BEC to disable. In fact, it needs to be powered from the receiver battery.

Good luck!
