Ill be glad to scan the instruction sheet in and let you see for your self...I am new to electrics and have no idea how to set these things up other than read the directions that came with it and follow them and yes this thing was suposed to beep one long beep and then begin some type of beep countdown and I was suposed to toggle the throttle full off to select which beep I wanted...weird way to do it I thought guess I was right.....

Mickvk. I didnt mean purchase an american made esc I realize there is no such thing they are all made overseas.I meant I needed to deal with an american vendor..and I am fairly certain that if the esc they sent me had been rated for my battery and motor load it probably would be working fine right now for all of you that have the chinese esc's that are working fine I bet if you look at the specs for your battery and motor they fall within the specs for your esc and they should work just fine..my point is the vendor lied in there desription of the esc and then didnt want to admit to the mistake and told me to run it anyway..my intent on posting this was to make my fellow rcers aware of the deception on the part of the vendor NOT that all chinese parts are bad. it wasent the esc's fault it wasent rated for what I hooked it up to I only did it on the insistance of the vendor. they told me it was rated for 3 to 16 volts but the label it came with said it was only rated for 3 to 13 volts.1.8 volts isnt much but its enough...and since posting this I have had to file a claim with ebay to tryto get this setteled the vendor wants me to pay more money for them to fix this..

BTW this is a pic of the boat it was going to be used for.

P.S. I just saw a new thread in general boat discussion think its named how to stop beeping something like that anyway in the first post he says the instructions told him to hold full throttle to set the esc..so see simon o Im not nuts
