Default TREX 500 CONFUSION

man, i could'nt be more lost. guys i just bought a trex 500 on rcu last week. it is already built, all i had to do was add a rx, bind and fly. it has the stock setup, motor, esc and an external bec with a 7.4v battery and a 6s 2150 mah lipo. a dx7 was used by the previous owner so via phone, he and i went through and set up the tx exactly as it was before. i used an ar7000 rx and bound it to my dx7, no problem. i was able to check the operation of all control surfaces with just the bec plugged in and they all work fine, but when i connect the lipo, i get a constant beep from the motor and it will not spool up. i need to mention that i do hear this constant beep before i plug in the lipo, it is just really low. i have checked and double checked all connections to the rx, motor, esc, bec and all are correct. i also changed out rx's with a new ar7000 and a new 6100. both would bind properly and i would get the same result, absolutely nothing from the motor, except the constant beep.

have any of you guys experienced this before? could it be the rx, dx7 programming, esc or motor? where did i go wrong? will you guys please point me in the right direction. any and all instruction would be greatly appreciated. many thanx!!...............td...
