Default Bad esc or something else?

I was flyin my T rex xl last week and everything was going fine. Went to fly it a couple of days later and as soon as I spooled up the heli started to cut out ( 3/4 stick and not alot of head speed) almost seemed as the fail safe on my DX6 was doing that cause the voltage in the tx was gettin low, so I charged the tx and heli and gave it another try a few days later ( today) and again the same thing, so next I binded the tx and rx just to see if that was it and it wasnt. I m begining to think the esc might be the culprit. Anyone else experience this b4? T-rex XL and DX6 []

I started to switch my esc and try a different one to see if the esc was bad and I decided to power up the heli after moving ( not rerouting) some wires around, moved the esc from the bottom and just let it hang from the side and took it outside to give it one last chance, and everything worked with no cut out, I cant believe moving some wires around would do that since its been flown before with the wires routed the same way

might want to check all your connections....a dodgy solder joint or loose wire could cost you a heli....[&o]

Yeah I checked all that and everything is good, if that was the case then I think the esc and rx were too close to each other
