Randy, thank you for the reply.
I did not have the fan attached (or plugged in). I did try it with the sensor wire unplugged and everything unplugged from the receiver. Then I tried it with no fan, no motor, no sensor wire and only thing plugged in the receive was the ESC, still nothing.
Shouldn't there be a small spark with connecting the Deans plugs on the battery? All of my other ESC do this, and there is nothing when I connect the batts. But when I measure the voltage off the ESC + and - posts, I read the voltage from the battery, so I know the correct voltage is making it to the RX8.
