Status: offline 		I had a problem with my brushless motor jumping back and forth when it should be running. It was the motor as another one runs fine. Is there a way to run a brushless motor without connecting to an ESC? Like right from a battery? I took the covering off the 3 wires where they join on the bad motor to see if they were connected and they are. Would the problem be further into the motor coils? Is there Any correct way to test the motor with a meter? Thanks Ron

It is very easy for the magnets to attract a bit of magnetic material in through the ventilation holes, especially if you landed in a dusty or sandy area. You might just need to remove the rotor and the debris inside. It doesn't take much to bind the rotor as the spacing between the magnets and stators is very small. This happened to one of my motors and the result was oscillation instead of rotation.
