Could it be the receiver wire from the Speedo? The receiver is fine so that's not the issue here.

Thoughts?
In your original post you said you turned the ESC on and then held the power button to go into calibration mode.

You need to start with it off, you then hold the power button until it turns on and you get a beep. The next press is then neutral and the light does flash once but then goes out and it waits for you to go to full throttle and press the button again. It still sounds like you might be getting stuck at this part of calibration.

Have you got a servo connected? You can confirm the receiver is powered if that moves.

Does the motor run at all even without calibration? You would expect to be able to find some throttle either in forwards or reverse on the transmitter if the ESC is okay and hooked up.
