The AE2 has a motor turn limit. 19 turns I think, the stock TH motor is a 15 turn so you will need a slower motor also.

x2 on that ..you will want to find 20t or higher if running that esc ...also for constant beeping , you may need to recalibrte the esc.once turned on ..hold the trigger back for full throttle til you hear some musical tones ..then go full reverse til you hear the same musical tone ..then release to neutral , i,m thinking this may help you out ..the esc will recognize the hammers stock 15t motor but will burn it up in no time ..hope this helps..

Naw my AE-2 runs the stock motor fine... if its a steady beep like every 1 second or so, it came unbound from the transmitter... rebind your radio and itll work just fine.

the AE-2 will blink like that when a motor lead is loose. Resolder your motor wires and i GUARANTEE it'll be fixed.

Make sure that the connectors fit tight and don't have any play...
