    Three beeps to me indicates it is seeing a 3S LiPo pack...what voltage are you hooking up now? Could be the LVC is set for a higher voltage.

      You may have a bad receiver connection. I've had that happen before... The three pin plug gets worn out ND a bad connection occurs

        I am runin with two hyperion 45c 90
        Two Batteries are wired in series to obtain 6cell 22.2 volts and when connected I get the tranmitter to turn and the esc just beeps a regular beat and blinks the red light with the beep

            Does your steering servo work? Just wondering if the BEC is pooched and you might need to run a separate receiver battery pack.

              I understand that, but the power and signal are seperate. When mine would get a bad connection, the motor would beep, servo work but motor would not run. Tighten the pins in the plug a tad and it would run.

                Does this esc have throttle end points setup?
