No Response From Brushless Motor

[Dave31]

Decided to change my motor from brushed to brushless in my M05 yesterday and I am now wishing I had'nt! I'm running out of ideas so if anyone can offer some advice it would be much appreciated.

I put a 13.5 Speed Passion sportsman and hooked it up to my hobbywing xtreme stock esc and when I turn everything on all I get is a constant tone from the motor and no response when I try to excellerate although the red light comes on the speedo however it does not seem to pick up the end point of the acceleration as it does not show a green light. I have checked that the motor is ok by hooking up a robitronic brushless to it and that works fine, so I have updated the firmware on the xtreme stock to make sure that is ok and I have no problems plugging in the program box and changing the settings. the steering works fine. I am guessing the speedo has died. I am hoping I have missed something simple, any ideas?

have you reset your end points with it been a new motor?

[Dave31]

Yes I have reset the end points and get the expected light flashing response from the speedo. When the speedo is on at neutral no light displays as expected and then a red light comes on when I move the throttle stick forward or backward but I should get a green light when the throttle hits the end point of forward and backward but this does not happen?

You can try reversing the throttle on your tranny then try setting it again

[Dave31]

Thanks for the suggestion.

Given that a go, still the same.

Have you tried the motor unbolted from the car? Reason I ask is somebody from my old club ran a brushless motor in an M03 chassis on the standard mount with the standard screws and the screws hit the fan inside the motor and jamed it solid!

Can you turn the motor over with the wheels of the car?

The other thing to try is the sensor lead, if it's that spinning the wheels should allow it to start (most of the time) but it won't be able to start from fully stopped on it's own.

I hav eused Speed Passion motors with HobbyWing ESCs so no underlying problems there.
