try and recalibrate. it sounds like your forward trim is a little tweaked and it wont arm.

set trims on your remote to zero.
with the esc off, hold the trigger at full throttle, should beep,
nce the colors change go to full reverse again wait for the beep
last let go and leave it in neutral, should beep and go to a yellow light after 1 full cycle.

should be good to go.
