Tekin RS ESC not working in sensored mode
Hey dudes. My first post - please be gentle.
Just built my first kit. It's an Associated t4.1, with a Tekin RS, Team Epic D3 10.5 motor (brushless, sensored), Futuba receiver. Everything is brand new.
The ESC and motor runs without the sensor cable, in dual mode. LED's 1 and 4 blink in turn. But when I plug the sensor cable in, the ESC lights go off and the motor stops working, but the steering servo still works. I've tried this in both Dual Mode, and in Sensored Only mode (in HotWire)
Not sure what's going on, but obviously, I need to get this running in sensored. Any suggestions?

Make sure the wires on the motor match up with the ESC , there are A,B,C solder tabs on the motor and ESC and they must match (A to A , B to B ect) . If these dont match up then the motor wont run correctly .
If you need more help there is a Tekin support thread in this section of the forum ......

My Tekin did this too. It a problem with the ESC according to Tekin when I talked to them. It maybe the sensor in the motor but it wouldn't cut the ESCoff like that it would just switch to Dual Mode.

I was afraid of this. How was Tekin to deal with? Did they replace the ESC? I have ordered a Redline to try it on Wednesday. If that doesn't work, I'll know it's the ESC for sure.

I would see if you could "borrow" a spare motor that is known to be good, no need ot even put a pinion on it and run it on the track, just test to see if you have the same issue.
It could be any number of things and if you ruled out the cable you still need to figure out if you should address the sensor in the motor or an issue with the ESC.
