Default Novak Velociti motor stopped working

Hi all

Not had much luck recently with Brushless

Took the rotor out of my Novak 5.5 Velociti motor, y'know, after 2 years, thought it might need a dusting down, undid screws, pulled out the rotor, all clean, so pushed it back with a bit jigging about. Started car up tonight after a bit of spannering, speedo lights up, pt and steering worked, but motor doesn't go.

Wtf have I done now? Please help

Hi all

Fixed, a bit of a schoolboy error on my part really

Thought I'd try another car, switched on the truggy, throttle didn't work on that either, so came to the conclusion its the tranny. Flicked down the "TH-Hold" switch (core RC Pulse tranny) and hey presto, servo moved.

So plumbed in the GTB and switched it on, motor spools up.
