Hey all.
There is a guy at my club who has just purchased a new Cirtix esc and Ultra sportsman 17.5 motor and he cant get it to run. It shows a solid orange light and flashing red which says in the manual that its in sensorless mode. I have tried 3 different motors (2 of which are my own which are perfectly fine running in my cars) and 3 different sensor leads too.I have tried resetting the esc and rebinding it, all the usual stuff but no luck so far. I just cant seem to get the esc out of sensorless mode. Any help is appreciated.

If so, try reversing the throttle on the transmitter and recalibrate the speedo.

Has anyone had any experience with getting a GT 2.0 repaired? I accidentally plugged into the slots for the fan, as soon as the battery was plugged in the speedo went up in smoke. Is repair an option or should I just look into a new speedo? I tried e-maileing Speedpassion directly but no response. Thanks in advance!

But before you do so, when you say they are not working...in what way they are not working? Does the motor react slowly like it is in sensorless mode? Like it is kinda delay after you pull the trigger? Or motor not moving? what is the problem?

I usually tape the ESC down and pull on the wire while heating it up and the wire will pull right out. Any remaining solder in the wire hole, ill heat up and tap the esc lightly on a table to get most of it out. I finish by using solder wick to clean everything for the new wire.

Thanks for the pointers guys. I do have certifications in soldering. It just seemed to me like I was keeping the iron on it to long for it not to come out but I will try again. I did ass solder and use the wick to remove solder. I thought maybe they were using lead free solder and thats why it was such a pain. I have not dealt with lead free solder much.

It will be replaced by SP warranty, contact the shop that he purchase the ESC and have them to replace the ESC with a new one.

Im running a V3 1S 17.5 with boost and im noticing the motor is fading towards the end of my run, the motor is coming off at 65deg Celsius so its not as if its getting too hot.
Can anyone tell me what the problem might be?
Also why is the MMM V3 17.5 out of stock everywhere I look? Does anyone have a link to a shop with them instock?
