i finally managed to get it to start smoothly now. I swaped the esc out with a new one and it starts fine. I heard about the wiring issue too but i don't think this is the problem yet. When i hook it up to the gyro, it seemed to work fine but should the motor be spinning when i throttle up or does my HH gyro compansate for this? If i move the gyro, then the motor spins but when i throttle up, it doesn't. I have not tested it on the heli yet since my brushed motor is not quite dead yet but i will as soon as this one dies.
