Viper ESC & Motor combo not working

[jimbo_468]

Hi guys,

Just brought a Viper Motor and ESC combo (used, off here) and its not working.

Its a sensored setup, but it came without a sensor cable - would this stop the motor from spinning?

I have calibrated my handset (Spektrum DX3C) and the ESC led's show that its receiving a signal.

Am I being a complete plonka and need to do something or is it because the sensor cable is missing?

I'm a newbie and just trying to put together a Losi 22 so anyhelp would be much appreciated.
