esc blinking red

[levi]

my esc in my typhon 3s is blinking red but working fine should i replace it

Are you sure it's working fine? A blinking red led can mean a few things, if it still has steering and has throttle, check that it's not half speed. A voltage issue drops the esc to safe mode, half power or less, and flashes the led red. I can't find the trouble codes for the BLX100 ESC, but blinking red in sequence can be a few things. loss of transmitter signal, no output from receiver, low voltage or errant voltage, overheat and a couple others.

Or accidentally set to setup mode?

We’ll need more feedback from you to get you properly sorted. Do you have the manual that came with the truck?
In the meantime…

Blinking red but working fine? As above need more details.
Just know that your throttle will turn it on/off by design, normal function.

also, I'm sure everything is working fine.

Can you make a video of your issue and post it via youtube? Seems to be something new.

By all means, run it.
