Mamba Monster X 8s ESC Issue: Long Beep, No Throttle - Solutions?

[ipouryoulicker]

So here is the problem. I'm running an Arrma stretched typhon 6s ver5... with a castle 1717-1650 kv motor hooked to a mamba monster x 8s esc, transmitter is radiolink RC6GS ver3.... Everything was fine until it just stopped working. Now when I turn on my car it gives the chimes like normal but then it gives one looong beep and then nothing... I have steering but no throttle. Have reset and calibrated radio, calibrated receiver... can't calibrate esc because I have no throttle... no other faults what so ever... just nothing... any ideas?
P.s. everything is under 2 months old. Just installed... ran fine until it didn't... lol

contact castle. its bind( you bind radio gear) not calibrate. esc is the only thing that gets calibrated.

Yea I would contact castle. ESC or motor problem.
Looks like the RX/TX is all bound up and working fine.
Servo is working
ESC is not. Make sure its in ch2 or TH channel.
Fully charged and balanced battery.
Other than that, I got no clue.

Side note, verify you didn't accidentally mess with the TH/DR knob, it must be set to zero in order for ESC to activate, if it's not at zero then that means throttle is active and the ESC has protection to prevent a run away on start up.

check what bill said after looking at that model radio I see it quit easy to accidently bump that knob.

Yeah I made sure everything was at zero before trying to calibrate esc... and yes that knob is easy to bump... lol
