I was wondering if anyone knows how to change settings in the esc of a typhon 3s back to stock when your set button doesn't respond when you push and hold for 3 secs like the manual says
 
Maybe try this: https://www.arrmaforum.com/threads/esc-factory-reset.5013/
"To reset the ESC to factory default settings connect a battery, turn on the transmitter and then turn the car on. Press and hold the set button for 4 seconds and release. The Red and Green lights will flash simultaneously to show you have reset the ESC. Switch the ESC off and factory reset is complete."

I tried that and all that happens is it keeps beeping and would not stop till I turned it off
 
Hmm.
I would say recalibrate, but that just recalibrates it, doesn't factory reset anything.
You would also go into the settings and change everything back to stock?
Do you have a spektrum program card? If so, you can use that, and there might be a factory reset option.

Unfortunately I don't. I am fairly new to the hobby. And this typhon is be nothing but problems.
 
Let's take a step back further, what ESC are we talking about?
I thought all the 3S platforms used the same ESC... nope. My Vendetta 3S BLX came with a Spektrum Firma 100A ESC. I posted earlier thinking that was what you had. Now, the more I think about it, the BLX100 3S ESC is what you have in your Typhon 3S

What is flashing when you turn on the ESC?
The red light only. Don't see a green light at all

Yes probably I have the stock esc. Haven't changed any electronics yet. Only upgraded the gears.

Just out of curiosity, have you set the throttle trim on the transmitter to the neutral position?
The SET button is just an open/closed circuit type. I forget which wires I touched together to act as pressing the SET button.... Here is a spare switch from a Hobbywing copy ESC I just grabbed from the garage/stash:

I did a continuity test of the SET button and wires. It was the white & black wires connected to the SET button. Pressing the SET button completes the circuit. Use this info to do with whatever you want. Do you have a multimeter? I am not saying to open up your switch and test the SET button to make sure it still works... that's up to you. I don't know if your ESC is under warranty. In any case, I'd start thinking about another ESC.

Good question. Please inform me how
You must have replied back before I edited my post. I meant transmitter throttle trim at the neutral position. I was just brainstorming, and had seen comments of others saying this, that, and the other thing fixes that ESC.
 
Ok I tried it again and the red flashed and the green flashed. Then just the green flashed and went off. I will find out tomorrow if it worked. I hope so. That's why my son and myself named it the red demon
