Default EDF powered backpack problems

Okay so I'm new to the RC world, but I love to tinker and make things I'm constantly building things and just messing around. Not too long ago. I came across some videos of EDF's and thought if I could mount a couple of those on a backpack that houses the batteries and electronics I could jump on rollerblades skateboard whatever and that would just be cool for no other reason but I think that'd be cool. not knowing it was going to get expensive quick. I ordered a whole bunch of stuff after reading and researching. I recently got everything put it all together and my 105 millimeter ducted fans just beep and do nothing else. I brought the setup to the RC store. the kid there had no ideas for me and didn't really know how to make it work which was not too comforting so I thought let's get on a forum. Hopefully someone can help me out. So here goes. I have
2- 105 mm HSD jets 11 blade 44v EDF's,
2-150 amp aerostar 12s optio esc's
2- 6s 60c lipos for each fan
1- cheap trigger style remote w/receiver
2- different cheap servo testers thinking I could use 1 of those to control both fans so I didn't have to use a remote and receiver.
so I hooked everything up first with the receiver and remote control and the EDF just beeped non-stop a slow steady beep and each time it beeped it kind of jerked a little. also it did this when I tried to hook up the servo tester now upon further reading I came to the conclusion that the speed control did not have a BEC so when I went to the RC store today. the kid hooked up his BEC to the cheap receiver and remote trigger I had and it's still beeped non-stop so I'm already in this little project over $1,000. The kid at the RC store said I should probably get new speed controls. I already spent $130 each on the two I have. I'm desperate and in very much need of assistance. Thank you in advance.. PS. I have not tried the servo tester with the external BEC yet because the external battery pack is coming in the mail tomorrow. and I forgot to bring the servo tester with me to the RC store earlier, but something tells me something else is wrong and this also will not work.???
