It depends on the current draw of your motor. For example the Turnigy 2836 3700Kv motor (popular on the HK450)is a 35A motor, so you should use a 40A ESC.
Your motor must never draw more current than the ESC rating, or your ESC will burn up in flight.

question: what connector do you use from the esc to battery? ... the jst connector seems so small for the size wire on the esc. So what connector is being used between esc to battery?

Anyone know for sure, if the BEC from 2 Plush 25a esc's can be run in parallel? I am going to connect both, via a Y connector, into a SportBEC for 6v output. Or I may just go directly into RX, undecided, any problems?

I would put in at least a 30A, with many people putting in a 40A, in a 450 size heli. Try to use a pinion that will give you 2900-3000 head speed with a throttle curve at about 90%, which is easier on the ESC.

Quick question: why wouldn't people just pay a few dollars more for the 30amp? The 30amp is about $3.00 more and weighs an additional 3 grams. Is there something I'm missing?

A brushless motor is a triphase motor, as in no + or - wires. Just hook up the three wires, anyway you like. If motor runs backwards, change two (and only two) of the wires, and it will go the other way.

Try swapping the three wires going to the motor around. If you have programed the ESC with the card and have pluged it back in to the receiver and just get beeps try reversing the throttle on the transmiter.

Make sure the throttle trim is right back.
If it still continues to beep all the time after the initial activation and you are able to program a trim position for the throttle on your transmitter then adjust it somewhere down into the 0 to -100 range and see if it will setup properly. i.e. it may be seeing the throttle position in a too advanced position at setup time.

Sounds to me like your throttle sense is backwards. This is normal for Futaba and Hitec radios. Revers your throttle channel and you should suddenly find it works.

I second Straight Up here. Mine did exactly the same thing because my throttle was reversed on my DX6i. It would beep the number of cells, then a double beep every few seconds and the throttle would not engage. Changed throttle back to normal in the setup menu and it worked like normal. This info is also in the troubleshooting guide in the manual which comes with the ESC.

If you are using Spectrum 2.4 receivers and the receiver has not recognized the transmitter then the controller will beep continuously. Check the esc lead into the receiver to make sure power is going to the receiver. Make sure the receiver is bound to the transmitter. With some models of Spektrum transmitters the model memory holds the binding information and if the wrong model is selected then the receiver will not bind and the controller beeps, check what model you have selected.

Does this esc have brake ?! The brake is that what when you stop acelerate he start brake?
That is another turnigy esc that brakes when you stick down ?!

The esc can be set up with brake, yes. This is only used for propellers (usually to fold a folding prop), NOT for car... Brake comes on when you throttle all the way down.

Could you please be more specific. I have used a Waypoint ESC with a LiPo default which refused to see A123's and do not want to fall into that trap again.

Fully charged A123 = 3.6V* 3S = 10.8V
Fully charged LiPo = 4.2V* 3S = 12.6V
Discharged LiPo = 3.0V* 3S = 9.0V (underload)
Discharged A123 = 2.0V* 3S = 6V (underload)
So a charged 3S A123 looks like a discharged 3S Lipo or a massively overcharged 2S Lipo to the voltage detection circuits.
For my setup with 4S A123 pack (4S A123 = 3S LiPo) I had to use the Nixx setting and set the cutoff point to the 60% cutoff,highest setting, (in your case 60% of start voltage = 6.5V). If I used the Lipo settings, the cutoff point would be too high for the A123s, get about 1 minute flying before motor turned off instead of 6 minutes at the NiCd setting. Works well like this.
