Any lead.
Are you shure your rs is in sensored mode

[overson]

the car wont pull off or rev up to the max.
loss of power
runs like one of the motor wires have come off.
going to take it to ardent for some more help

When you have the motor connected, with a sensor lead, turn the unit on, and slowly rotate the motor, check that the end 3 LED's blink out in turn, if you don't see all three, you got a sensor problem. Try a new lead, if no luck, try a different motor.

They light up but not very bright, should they be bright.

Yes! is this on 3.7v lipo? with booster?

[DCM]

no, the three end LED's should be dim, barely visible.

Is it on a 1s lipo?

[overson]

its on 7.4V lipo.
when i turn it on it flashes 1 and 2 and 6 and 7 then they go out and you get a beep and 4 lights up.

[overson]

1,2, 6,7 is indicating wrong motor type...... brushless fwd & brk should be MT 1 led on

just checked its set to BL DL with hotwire but still flashes the 4 lights when switched on and will not move when throttle used have to push the car to start it off.
