Is it programmed for the correct voltage?

i think so.
I have that little card with the dip switches.
Could that cause it?

Check all the connections first if all are good re-calibrate the throttle. The re-calibration is the same as the first time you calibrate.


Pistol style transmitter calibration
- Correctly connect the ESC with brushless motor, plug the receiver lead of ESC into receiver ( usually into
Channel 2);
- Put the throttle to the forward full position, turn on the transmitter;
- Power on the ESC, there are 3 beeps emitted from the motor, which indicates all electronics are correctly
power on for the setting.
- Then there are 4 long beeps emitted from the motor ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ .
- During or after the 4 long beeps , move the throttle to the neutral position. Two beeps emitting out
indicates calibrating is completed.
- Following two beeps are powering beeps, it is time to go now!
