Have you tried swapping the sensor wire, and checking all the motor wires are ok?

Speed passion only give a 90 day warranty on this I'm pretty sure I'm out of warranty.. But it said on there website I can send it in and they can replace if unable to repair on warranty at cost.. Does anyone know how much??

If bought in the UK, you can get a free repair/replacement within 6 months of purchase from the seller without proving it was faulty when bought.

@Cig - it sounds like its acting like its forgotten the end points of your transmitter controls.

PLug it into the setup card and reset everything back to default. (factory setting)
Then set the end points again via the little setup button and pressing it as you move the stick into the various max / min and neutral positions.
Any joy?

@Cig - damn. worth another try - especially to ensure it is reset to factory default before trying it, but if it still doesnt work after that, it certainly does sound like the ESC might be faulty.

Just a thought, but is it the same RX and TX gear you have used since it broke? Becuase it might actually be the TX/RX gear thats aat fault (i.e. not sending a correct signal to the ESC).
Can you try it with a different electrics setup?
Even if you had an old 27Mhz setup to temporarily plug into the ESC to test it?

If not, on my TX I can monitor the "throw" of my control sticks - if you can do that just make sure that they are actually working on your transmitter.

Yes, so long as there is no physical damage and you have proof of purchase.
