Ok, so it's wired up right then. If the servo works, the BEC must be fine.

If the ESC lights are flashing, it could be that the ESC is not seeing the right voltage; like if you have the LVC set for 5s, but hook 4s to it. Could also be a calibration issue between the ESC and radio. Make sure the throttle trim is at 0, EPA is set to 100% for both forwards and reverse, and recalibrate the ESC again. If the radio is really old, the throttle pot may "drift" which may cause the ESC not to arm until it sees an acceptable neutral point.
