Default RE: HobbyKing 1/16th Short Course Truck thread

Hey guys,

I've got the whole lot solered up with connectors and everything.
Then I switched it all on, and there was no go on the motor?!? Not even a slight movement (steering servo worked fine, so power is coming to the receiver and onto the servo)

When looking in the manual, it says, if you have an orange and a red LED lit at the same time (constant light), the ESC is setup as a sensored motor
I'm not really sure on the difference between the two... Sensored/ Sensorless, and HK doesn't list whether or not it is or isn't... I didn't think it was...

On my ESC, it has a warning label that reads as follows:

Warning!
1.re"> When installing the ESC on the Sendored Brushless motor, please attend to the  labels marked with A, B, C which must corrospond accordingly on the motor. Once misconnected, ESC will break down
2.re"> Set up the ESC at the Throttle Range Calibration for the debut, or it does not work smoothly
3.re"> Not accessible to the Brushed motor

Point one, I've got my motor wires wired, motor to ESC: blue to blue/ yellow to yellow/ red to orange

images for reference




I think that is right?

Point 2, what is the Throttle Range Calibration?

Point 3 doesn't concern me, I have a brushless motor

Thanks in advance for your input
Martin
