Turnigy TrackStar BDC pinout and esc compatibility.
 
Hi,
I have Turnigy TrackStar 1/14 Scale Sensored Brushless Motor 4620KV from HobbyKing.com. I'm planning to use this motor in an automotive system, so no RC, but can't find any info so might as well try RCtech forum. I need a pin out or rather ribbon cable each wire labels of this motor, maybe someone knows exact function of each wire on this motor (there are six wires)? Another thing is that I'm using VESC to control it, I also have bought
Turnigy SK8 V2 80A 3~12S Single Motor Skateboard ESC controller, but I don't really know if my motor is compatible with this esc. If I'm correct, my motor is 2 poles BDC, but when trying to set up motor via VESC software, similar sized motors have 14 poles, so I'm confused. Oh yeah, I'm also new to BDC and esc systems.
Thank you in advance.

It's a standard sensor wire. This page has a pinout Motor Sensor Cable Doesn't Fit on my ESC – MBoards

It should connect directly to the Turnigy ESC you listed.

RC motors are typically either 2 or 4 poles and I'd guess your motor is 2 poles. More poles mean more torque and that's why motors for skateboards have way more poles because they need more torque to move the board and rider.
