Testing motor and esc?

[nastety92]

There is no armed beep, the steering does not work, nothing happens at all. I'm running a stock spur gear and 17T pinion (I think). I'm using IB4200 from Boom Boom batteries and I've tried a couple different battery packs with the same result.
When I hooked up the esc to my computer with the supplied usb cord it did make the armed beep noise and all of the lights did come on.
Thanks for the reply, I appreciate the help.
