I went with the instructions and believe it or not read them and pulled out the red wire from the esc to connect the bec and still no motor movement hacker HMMMMM
You know the fut.18.XXX series is only rated for 5S lipos. At the moment I don't even use my 40.160 due to it not having a LVC. There are some good choices of ESCs that will handle 6S, doesn't need a separate BEC and has all the programming one needs to play safe.
