    Is it programmed for the correct voltage?

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

        Did you do the throttle calibration?

          Calibration was done a while ago.
          it worked properly then this problem came up.

          is there away of re calibrating?

          Thanks all for the help.

            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!

              Its not beeping but i get throttle.
              Just not full throttle.
              Whats the correct settings ie cut off etc?
              I sometimes get a red light on the esc when i pull the trigger to full.Motor spins.
