Brushless Motor Test

I hooked up a Great Planes Ammo 20-40-3500 In-Runner Brushless Motor attached to Great Planes Silver Series 25A Brushless ESC 5V/2A BEC powered by Radio Shack 7.2V battery and controlled by Arduino servo library.

This ESC has three control wires. Brown is ground, Red is the ESC "battery eliminator ciruit (BEC)" +5V, and Orange is the servo pulse control. I hooked up the Brown wire to the Arduino ground, and the Orange wire to Arduino pin 9, and left the Red wire not hooked to anything:
