I just bought a new ESC about a week ago and the motor stopped spinning so i put a voltage meter on the esc and its not getting nearly enough voltage to the motor? does anyone know what would cause this problem?
Thanks

Yes the light changes color when i throttle but very low power to the motor. I tried another ESC with the same motor and connectors and it worked fine.

I cant remember exactly what the voltage said but it was very different. The battery had just about full voltage and the esc was struggling to get a little bit of voltage at WOT

You pretty much answered your own question right there.
If you're sure the esc is set up right and everything works fine with a different esc then you've gotten a bad esc. It happens. Call or take it back to where you got it.
