Exclamation OMG Please help!!!!

okay having a big problem that i can not figure out. I have a Mamba Max Pro esc and a Novak 550 4.5t sensored motor. Hooked up everything, used castle link to change to sensored with a 2s lipo and worked for half a lap..... Had to spin motor shaft by hand to get the motor to spin with the throttle... So i thought thr motor took a crap on me, bought another 550 4.5t motor... Tryed it... same thing, i have to spin the motor with my fingers and hit the throttle for it to spin... So thought it was my MMP...Bought a new one... Same freaking thing...Changed receiver's didnt work...changed lipo's...same thing... What in the heck is wrong here.... PLEASE PLEASE help pro's....

Very good chance the sensor wire is bad causing exactly what you are describing. Happened to me before.

Try it without the sensor. The MMP will work either way.
Go into settings and make sure it's set to brushless, revert back to the oem firmware.
Make sure the startup power is on medium, make sure the current limiting is above 1.0
Unplug the wires from the ESC one at a time, does two of them work and one not?

does your motor have mechanical timing? if it does zero it out and try again. Does it cog? have you tried the motor on another speedo?
