there will be three wires from the motor and either three holes or three wires on the ESC - just join them. If the motor runs backwards, swap any two wires
I don't care what it says on the profile - I'm so NOT GB!

You'd better invest in speed controller, as this motor has a max amp rating of 3a, 4a at the most

Does it beep or is it completely dead?

Why? His ESC can handle 6A.

I asked about the beeping, since it could be that the ESC never initialise because of settings in your Tx, like reversed throttle etc.

If you pull it out of the receiver, it should beep now and then to indicate that there is no signal on the input.

i try it and didnt hear any beeping. So this is the full story: i bought this rarebear 2 months ago, i flew it 3 times(im just practicing to take off, im newbie) and then i let the motor run for a few minutes and then it stop, i smell burnt smell in the motor. So i assume that the motor is broken then i bought a new one and now after replacing it it still didnt working, so i plan to buy another esc i guess...?! thanks for help me with this, im new to these things

Yes, there is a risk that the motor killed the ESC too, or vice versa.
