trex 450 ESC
Ok, well my ESC no longer arms, it beeps once and thats all she wrote. Is it the ESC? or something else that isn't working? I have crashed and slightly damaged some wiring, but repaired it last year and it has been fine all this year.
I'm wondering if its worth getting a new one? if so which ones are good to use with the stop se v2 motor?
thanks alot.

RE: trex 450 ESC
check to see if your have any bad solder joints. 35a-40a esc are not that bad in price nowadays. all depends on how much you want to spend. I would get the align 35a esc as mine has been doing great for over a year with no issues. plus it has the best soft start.

Great idea double check your solder joints, but are you flying the Align motor 430 X or XL I had issues with mine after a couple of crashes. I would wiggle the wires to get it to arm. That's where my issues were, & not at the ESC. I finally got fed up and replaced the motor with a Scorpian & not only got better power but reliability also

I'm thinking some wires are loose, because i just pushed on them and it started to arm. thanks for the input though guys. how much are those scorpion motors and whats the size?
