Tomcat Skylord 80a esc not working

Jun 12, 2020, 12:56 PM

Brand new Tomcat Skylord 80 ess with 5aubec. Powers up motor and rx for a few seconds and then power to rx/servos shuts off and it just beeps. Usually pretty good with troubleshooting esc issues but this one is stumping me. Battery is good, rx is bound. Using Spektrum iX12 and AR400 rx.
Any ideas appreciated.

WyldkrdSG ESC's usually are a straight forward operational electronic device that either works or it doesn't.
When they act skedgy like yours is it most likely is a goner.
Best bet is to return it for another or refund
