why does my mmm v1 do this?
 
so you know how when you turn on the esc, the motor beeps some sorta ring tone, then it beeps 4 times (i run 4s lipos) then it does that ring tone again right.
but sometimes, it would just do that ring tone, beep 4 times, and thats it. the esc red/green/yellow lights are flashing.
there is no reaction when i throttle the radio or the steering.

this happened before, where i would just unplug the lipos and plug it back it, and then it would work fine like nothing ever happened.
after like 6 months, it did it again. but this time, after unplugging/plugging the lipos, it still wouldnt work.
but after i got home, i tried it one more time, and it worked like a charm! and again, the mmm works fine for 4 months.
and it happened again today for the THIRD time....it worked once i got home again. what the heck is going on???? i seriously unplugged the lipos like 20 times at the bash site. and even tried it one more time driving home...i pulled over just to try it.
but once i got home, i plugged it in again, and it works!
anyone know the deal with this?

I had trouble with mine arming if the deadband setting was too low. try setting to a mid range setting. May also check that the throttle trim hasn't changed. If all else fails, recalibrate esc to radio.

Sounds like a malfunction of the LVC circuitry, have you updated to the newest firmware? if you did I would guess there's a bad solder joint somewhere inside.

If you are running 2.4ghz it could be the RX not binding quickly enough or at all.

yeah...that's the sound the ESC makes when it's looking for a nuteral throttle.
