ESC blinks red when I give it input

Hello I'm new to the DIY scene and I have an issue. I just put together an electric skateboard and all was good for about a week till the ESC just kept blinking red led 3 times, anytime I give a wireless remote an input. My board no longer moves anymore. I tried recharging the batteries and nothing changed. The motor slightly moves whenever I use the VESC software to do the motor setup but the ESC continues to blink red 3 times and then the motor stops working.  What could be my issue?

 

ESC: TORQUE ESC BLDC ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROLLER from DIY electric

Motor: 6355 |190kv motor from DIY electric

Battery: 2X (in series) ZIPPY Compact 3000mAh 5S1P 20C Lipo Pack w/XT60

Hi, Menghaitang. It is hard to tell what is the issue, as in my knowledge, 3 red blinks is just and error indication. I would suggest to connect the ESC to PC, open VESC Tool and see the error printout, you can find it under terminal/print faults. See what kind of error it is and look up solutions online!

 

Hope this helps!
