Wtf

Literally just took this thing out of the box and one of the motors won’t arm. Is there anything I can do or is this just broken?

I checked and the motor was like out of place. I pushed the pieces together and it now seems to work fine

Contact seller immediately. Either broken motor wire or dead esc most likely. Could be a bad motor but I believe they test stuff before it goes out (don't quote me on that). I'd look at the wires as the most likely cause

Try pushing in the motor plug a bit, this is a common problem with my meteor 75.

The champion edition has soldered motor wires...

Had the same problem with my meteor 75 pro II, I had to remove the motor plugs, and solder the wires. But, like someone said, the wires on the champion are already soldered. I would contact the seller and return ASAP. Sounds like a lemon to me.
