Just to start off this thing has been flying great.After Ron hooked me up with a main gear,I've been flying it every day.Now yesterday I flew it maybe 5 times no problems,then went to take it out today and no singing in my ESC?Tryed another battery and still no singing,I have power to servo's and gyro no motor??I smelled the BEC and ESC and no funny smells there.How can this thig be flying fine yesterday and take it out today and nothing.I have another brand new 75 amp align ESC,but before I go through all that, maybe some one has a ideaCould it be my bec and would my esc still arm and sing?? Thanks Lars

Make sure your bottom endpoint is the same and that you did not accidently bump up trim?? Your esc will not arm unless it sees absolute zero throttle output. Are there any flashes on the esc?

...Once upon a time there were Nitros, flybars and frequency pins...

ESC...

I would bet it's what Shawn mentioned....sounds like the throttle trim needs to be bumped down a few times and you should hear it arm...

if that doesn't work check your motor connections...and then make sure your servos are also working....if the servos aren't powering up then the ESC may not arm either..

Try re-binding the receiver. Worth a shot....Ron
