gah thats not what i meant to say lol.

what i meant to say was that, i put all the wires correctly in the receiver, tested everything out, worked good. then i try to test it out again and the motor doesnt turn at all but all the servos operate correctly.
whats wrong?

Battery well charged? Esc programed correctly? Double check wire connections to motor, esc plugged into port #3. Does the esc arm when you plug the battery in? (beep)

charged the battery beforehand. wires are good and plugged in correctly.
heres the problem. the first time i tested it, i heard the beeps. but now when i plug it in, NO BEEP.
whats wrong? something with the esc or motor?

Possibly a combination of both. This happened to me once but can't remember why. Still beating my head on the wall trying to remember, be patient or send it back.

Try reversing the throttle channel on the tx, and max out your epa on the transmitter if applicable.
