I've spent the last hour digging through YT and this form for answers to this issue.

I've got an ARA4305V3 ESC I had separate from any truck and I tested it two days ago, esc and motor were both working perfectly. Today, I toss the whole setup in my Vorteks project and I get the red light of death. Everything with the rx/tx is where it should be, all my trims are at neutral. The twist is, I took the motor out, and I can feel it pulse/blip for the esc tones, but I still get the red light. I've reset the esc, I've calibrated it, and I'm running fresh batteries in both my tx and my truck.

Am I well and truly bricked?

Red flashing light means no throttle signal detected. Did you try recalibrating the esc and receiver?

I can't recalibrate it, when I start the ESC while holding the "SET" button I just get the red light flashing and beeping.
Rebind the tx and rx first, then recalibrate before you give up on the ESC.
TX/RX both rebound, and you can see above my issue with the recalibration.
