Hobbywing EZrun 60A will not run from new

[cutting42]

Hi All

I have just bought a Hobbywing 60A EZrun ESC for my sons car and hooked it up to a brand new 10T sensorless motor. When I powered it up it wildly cogs, won't pick up revs and generally sounds like a bag of spanners. I also tried it on my 10.5 sensored with the same results.

Help please?

Have you set the esc up properly with the radio gear or have you just plugged it in and hoped for the best. As with most new esc`s you have to set them up to talk to the radio otherwise it will all go to pot.

Yes I calibrated the ESC to the Radio and it did that just fine. Good suggestion though.

just a couple of possibilities to check

(trying to help not be clever)

check you have wired ESC to motor correctly ie A-A B-B C-C

also check you havent bridged any terminals at the motor while soldering

(i did that once and the motor went all doolally on me )

Another great suggestion, many thanks. But no it was not that, but you got me excited for a bit there!

OK, posted it back to Hong Kong for replacement, thanks for the help.
