Default FX-R Issue... Maybe

So a couple of weeks ago i was getting ready to run. My rig started to geek out so the day ended before it started!

The front wheels would not spin unless i advanced them manually. I was told that it is the shim in the brush hood of my intergy 35T V11 (issue solved, got some HH Torquemaster 45T.)

That's not the concern i have now. The front esc is not chiming when configuring settings (tried a factory reset).
This is making me nervous that the ESC is done for.

I found a thread on Tekin's forum that some one was having the same issue but the question was answered in PM not on the thread so i have no idea what it could be.

To start, everything is hooked up correctly. I made sure that it was and asked tons of questions to make sure that i was doing everything correctly!
(Thanks for all the answers guys! )
The ESC is programmed for 3S so i know its not that.

I have ran 15-20 packs with the set up and have had no issues until now, including gears!

So what exactly could it be? Im hoping its not fried. I cant find my receipt/order email and i have cut the switches off. So im assuming that the warranty is void now.

Any help would be great!

have you tried the ecs with different motors

I know I had a simular problem with my fxr in my ax 10, and it ended up being a hung brush that was the problem

This is my first guess. When there is no sound, the speaker (motor) is normally the culprit.

Are you getting lights on the ESC?

I was thinking that its just the internal speaker that's messed up but i just want to be sure.

Since you replied...
I ordered power matching 45T a couple of weeks ago. I was under the assumption that one of the motors would have an R to indicate which motor goes where. Mine dont have those markings. Did i miss something when i was ordering?

Did you recalibrate the esc?

Recalibrate them one at a time to the radio and see what that does.

It sounds like one of them is not finding neutral.

Are your radio throttle trims set to 0?

That would be for the glitching of the motors right? I have hooked up a set of brand new motors that i get with that M2 setup. Never been ran and there was no glitching. But that did not solve the no chiming problem. I don't really care if its just the internal speaker that's not working, but i just need to know if that is a sign of something more than a small component being bad.

Yes

I would just hate to have to come out of pocket for another ESC.

Thanks for the response Harvo.

There is no internal speaker, the ESC uses the motor as the speaker.

If you didn't specify a vehicle or timing, we send them both at zero timing and CCW rotation.
