Default Electrostik Motor

I purchase the electrostik and during the assembly I unplug the ESC from the brushless motor. The motor has 3 different colors but the ESC has all black wires. I connect the wires to see which direction the motor is turning. If it is reversed I need to unplug and switch any two motor wires. But the motor will not run at all. What possible can cause this to happen?

You may have already tried this but if you have the stock ESC you have to arm it by moving the throttle to full then back to off. After that it should be armed and when you move the throttle it should power the motor.

No problem, I am thinking of getting one myself. i just cannot decide if I should get the ARF or the Rx-R. It may just be easier to get the Rx-R so I don't have to find a motor that will fit the mounting holes.
Anyway good luck with yours.
