Motor not spinning correctly and esc beeps at me

Post a closeup picture of your Rx, showing which channel things are plugged into.

Without a second motor, it can be any brushless, as a check, my guess is there are two possibilities.
1. You have a loose connection somewhere close to the motor so as it starts to spin the connection breaks but remakes as the motor runs down and it repeats. A permanent connection fail and the motor just twitches.
2. More likely there is a fault in the ESC.
Substitution with items that are known to work is the only way to find out what has failed.
I keep a spare ESC, a servo tester to run it and a slightly puffed 2a LiPo on the bench so I can test motors and ESCs in exactly this situation.

I had the same problem and it turned out the ESC was bad.

I ran into this as well. All of the servos worked, but when I applied throttle, the motor just beeped at me. For some reason, my throttle was reversed on the transmitter.

Edit - I just saw your video after posting... I never got any spin from the motor, just beeps. So I doubt you have the same issue.

Mine does exactly this!! What was your resolution? I just bought the pack 2 weeks ago and literally am having this problem before a maiden flight.

Had to purchase a new ESC.
