Hmm is the SMC a 4 pole motor? I didn't think the early vxl esc's would run a 4 pole. That's why they came out with the newer ones with caps.

All of his issues he's described are classic sensor issues. More than likely the motor that he got won't work without having the sensor wire hooked up properly, which is impossible on a sensorless speed control. Just because the speed control will work with any sensored or sensorless motor doesn't mean the motor will work with any sensor or sensorless speed control.
Being sensored or not doesn't matter to a sensorless esc. The only time the sensors are active is when there is a sensor wire attached. Otherwise there is no way the sensors can affect anything.

Yes, but the MOTOR may not operate properly without an ESC hooked up to it's sensor. I Know ALL of the motors that I have (RevTech, Orion, Reedy, Viper) will NOT work unless the sensor board ON THE MOTOR is hooked up to the ESC. Everybody keeps missing the point and keeps going back to the ESC. I'm sure his ESC is FINE, but the motor that the guy sold him probably doesn't work unless it's hooked up to the sensor on the ESC.
