If you disconnect the battery and switch it on it works???
First guess is the on/off switch has a loose solder joint or something similar. For all my Mamba systems I cut the switch off, solder the +/- wires together and that way every time I plug in a battery it automatically turns on.

If that doesn't work update your software through Castle Link and check your battery voltage as maybe it's tripping the LVC.

If you have steering then your BEC is fine so that's not an issue. If possible try swapping out everything one at a time to ensure it is in fact your ESC because even though that is what's malfunctioning another part could be causing it too.
