I have a brand new Speed Passion 7.5T which I stupidly connected the ABC wires up incorrectly and smoked.

Took it apart and there are no signs of shorting or burning on the sensor and no melted windings as far as I can see.
Now people tell me the first thing to try is a new sensor but inc. p&P that's going to cost me £30, and it still might not work....
When you can get a brand new motor for £50 (or s/h runner for £30) it just doesn't seem worth the risk. Anyone know where to get cheap sensors from to bring my paperweight back to life?

If the motor is smoking a new sensor is unlikely to fix it. The stator is most likely fried. Try running it sensorless to confirm.
