Just a few questions about the 5.5 not running
Have you tried any other motors with the esc and do they work?
Is it a sensored motor, and if so have you tried to run it in sensored and sensorless modes?
If it is sensored then are the wires definately connected up in the right order.
Have you checked what total timing you are trying to run the motor at? Novak and some other brands have fixed timing advance on the motor, but the SP esc's have additional timing advance which you can set electronically with the program card. The total timing may be too high or even negative if you are trying to do something funky like running it backward in a mid-motor car.
Do all of the right lights come on and respond when you are on throttle, full throttle, brake ect?

I'm sure if you've been trying to get it going you have already looked at these things, but just a thought
