Default Velineon ESC Problem?

Hey guys, When i plug the battery into the ESC it automatically turns on and goes green then blinks red once, then twice, then three times and this process repeats. I can't turn the ESC off without unplugging it. I don't know what to do can someone help me?

It may be a few different things but this is what I'd try;
1. - Make sure your transmitter is bound to your receiver. If not, re-bind it.
2. - It might be trying to set up your end points for your radio.
3. - It may also just be your trim has been bumped. Try adjusting it and see if it changes.

Known issue.. your button is simply stuck. Take apart the ESC, clean the area around the button and it should be good. If you don't want to take it apart, a blast of canned air and/or WD40 can help.

Mine did this all the freakin' time when I had it.

Disassemble and clean. It'll be fine after that.
