Our 1st outside race of the year was today and I put my new Pro4 4300 HD in and it was ballistic for the 1st pack and I parked it until the race started and on the 2nd lap it shut off like it hit the LVC. I got it back to the pits and was messing with it and Tekin RX8 Gen2 was doing right, all the leds was working but the motor wouldn't go. I spun the pinion and it took off. If it comes to a stop it wont start again but if you keep it running it works fine. Any ideals what to look for?

Just put my Tekin Pro4 4000 back in and it ran perfect. Changed and put the Pro4 HD back in and same thing but I did notice that if the shaft stopped with the flat part for the pinion screw facing me it had to be "kicked started" if it stopped facing away from me it would start back on its own. Could it be a bad sensor ? Are this motors warranted over 5 mins? Always had great luck with Tekin till this.

Next use the sensor checker feature to verify the sensors are read by the esc.
Also, verify the A B C wiring by removing the senor harness entirely, and attempting to power the motor. It should cog a bit but should drive the motor without issue. Does it?

Getting ready to buy a SCT410, will be installing a RX8 Gen2 with a Pro4HD 4300. There are 2 small-medium outdoor tracks in my area. I live in South Texas and the ambient temperature is hot which is why I decided on a 550 can to help keep temperatures down. What pinions should I buy?

OK, Just put a brand new sensor wire on it and still don't work. If you spin the shaft to get it going I think it is 3 lights on, if you don't spin the shaft I know it's only 2 lights on. I guess it only fires 2 poles at the same time. With the other Pro4 not HD it works fine and with a RevTech it works fine, What could it be other than a bad sensor on the motor?
