Hi Shiu,
you might want to check if the trim on the throttle channel is all the way down, otherwise the ESC wont arm / start the motor (this is a safety feature). You can also check the servo monitor (MONITOR) on the 2801 TX.
Hope this helps,
Rob

yes, the two other pins are only there to keep the two boards together.

Are the two pins on the other side just to stabilize the gyro?

Thanks Rob, I had assumed the five pins were +,-,(-,+), Rud, Gain, Gyro out. just wanted confirmation.

i dont have the pic at the moment, but its pretty simple as there are only +,- (on the left, but not sure about the order) and then the signal connections for rudder, gyrosense/gain and tailservo. check for plus and minus with a voltmeter, the signals should be easy to identify (just put a servo on).

Rob, would it be possible for you to name all of the connections between the RX and gyro? I would like to hard wire an aftermarket gyro.

Thank you for your help.

this is the right way to connect it. have you checked the polarity of the 3 wires from esc to rx? it should be white-red-black from left to right (orientation like in the picture above).
