    Have you tried a servo connected to channel 3 on the orange rx, just for a test?

        If a servo is working on the RX channel, then that shows the RX is working, and therefore it must be an esc issue; either it needs the endpoints calibrating or its gone belly up

            Make sure there is no trim on Ch3 and also switch off any failsafe setting in the transmitter. Then try again

              All fail safes are of and trim is on zero

                Have you tried resetting the end points on the esc?

                The rx will only output a numerical ms value for current position for that channel. If its controlling a servo as you would expect, then it is 100% not the rx. Id bet you just need to re-setup the esc.

                  Ive just put the orange rx back in to try it again but still didnt work the motor but every thing else works ok so i thought id re bind it and now the motor works fine so it must of been a bind issue

                    Sounds like it was in failsafe
