Did I jest get a Bad ESC?
I belt my 1est EPower plane Herr Aqua Star's http://www.sigmfg.com/cgi-bin/dpsmar...FV4.html?E+Sig
my setup is a
apc 6x4e
BP A2212-6 Brushless Outrunner Motor http://www.bphobbies.com/view.asp?id...7&pid=B2632603
ElectriFly Silver Series 25 amp ESC http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXKSY4&P=0
Turnigy 1300mAh 3S 20C Lipo Pack http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s..._20C_Lipo_Pack
After setting it all up I test ran the set up to make sear it wasn’t going to get hot but the ESC bund out 30s to 1 mant at only 1/4 thr.
Did I get the wong ESC or did jest get a bad one?

Your setup looks correct. Was there smoke coming from the ESC or did it just quit? Check all of your solder joints to make sure everything is good. You may have a defective esc.

Umm, maybe you burnt out the esc. I just checked the specs and your set up is pulling nearly 24 amps, that really pulling on your pack, and at the upper limits for the esc.
But as Cleared said you may have some other problem, like maybe the pack dropped enough that the esc hit LVC and shut down.
