Did you try reversing channel 2 . That may be it.

Nope. Why would that make a difference? Isnt that just for switching the throttle position? Like normal reverse would be accel?

sounds like a signal problem. do you have steering?
is this a new esc thats never been ran or programed? or was it working fine then took a crap?

my CC sidewinder and ae2 will flash red and beep when i dont have the radio on.once i turn on the radio and the rx gets the signal,they will arm and work fine

if the channal is reversed or throttle trim isnt centered they wont go into program mode
