Calvin SapplllVerified owneron Ghost RC Cobra 5 ACE 1/7th Drag/Speed Run Brushless Sensored ESC (3-8s)

Brand new ghost ace cobra5 esc wasn't working ? must have been a bad moffset. I've had about 6 of them now. I calibrated put the tune and everything worked except (b) phase of throttle. I checked with a wire meter connected and not connected to the motor once again (b) on the esc wasn't working it beeped every time. Sad part is it's apart of going fast, sometimes you win some and sometimes you lose. Just not happy when these things happen ?

I'm only 6 passes on this esc so far so good. I haven't tried the timing yet but I will.
