I threw the setup in my XXXT and sure enough the power is back to the motor, the only problem I have now is once and a while the ESC studders when I hit the gas. I'm sure that the ESC is shot or about to die but I think the 5.5 motor that I thought was burnt out is ok.
have you tried a different sensor wire if that is possible?
