Today I looked things over clipped the motor wires and powered up the ESC with no motor attached, things appeared to be good (led centered and moved with throttle/brake movements) however it didn't beep or make any noise as it usually does on power up. I'm stumped if I have a Motor or ESC issue at this point, should I solder things back up and see what happens? I also have a brand new 1700kv truggy motor I could use to rule out the motor, but hate to solder it up just to test things. I'll try Tekin Customer support tomorrow to see if they want me to send it in or can point me in the right direction.

In the mean time any advice or suggestions are welcomed

Thanks,
Yes you can use ANY known good BL motor to test the 12 67 fault. This is essentially the esc telling you that it only sees 2 of the 3 phases of a brushless motor. Either due to a bad/blown motor phase, shorted motor phase, bad motor wires, or possibly bad esc.

The "chime" comes from the esc "pinging" the motor. So no motor, no chime.
