Now I checked the USER MANUALs of 150A and SCT Pro.

Trouble Shooting: "When the throttle stick is in the neutral range, the red LED and the green LED flashes synchronously"
In both manuals its written the same but the answer is different:

150A: "The motor is a sensored motor, but the ESC detects abnormal signal from sensor, so it changes to sensorless mode automatically"

SCT Pro: "Over current protection, motor demagnetization, or motor is over load"

So how do I know if the SCT Pro runs in sensor or sensorless mode? There is nothing written about it.

I get my HW from BuiltRC.com but the website indicates the black ones are out of stock.
I'd contact him through his site and ask if he has any blue ( if you don't mind blue, that is.).
It shows that he has Blue combos in stock.

+1...

anytime you do any changes you should recalibrate! You dont have to when changing the settings with the program card but software changes, esc or receiver changes...Heck, some do it everytime they run just to make sure its all good, just link binding the remote....some do it everytime they race

I'm having the same issue with my SCT Pro. When the red/green light flash it definitely drives as if it is in sensorless mode. If I turn off then on. It operates normally for the 1st few seconds then red/green starts flashing and acts like it's in sensorless mode.

I'm running it with a Pro 4 4600KV in a Tekno SCT410 geared 15x44. I've tried pretty much every esc setting, different sensor wire, and different batteries. This is happening with as little as 1/8 throttle then applying the brake.

I have a brand new SCT Pro ESC for my yet to be finished 1/8 buggy. I'd like to figure out the issue before installing the brand new one and then end up having the same issue with that one too.

Thanks! I'll contact him. At this point I don't care what color it is as long as it works.

I say you might be geared to high...for a 4600kv motor you should be down to a 13 or 14t...i'd try that and see if this helps and also just make sure the the plug is in all the way on the motor and esc

I recently got my HW sct pro esc and was wondering if it's my esc that's glitching my set up, I'm running the esc w/ tekin pro4 4600kv, savox 1258tg, and spektrum dx2s transmitter/receiver combo, glitch problems-steering sometimes causes it to power motor and move forward/backward, it also drives itself about half throttle when not touching anything on the transmitter and it steering twitches, is this cause my esc or the spek. receiver?

The shaft doesnt feel like it has any play at all (nothing significant anyway). There is no more play in it than the new LRP x12 17.5 I have here. It was also doing it without load on the wheels, ie holding it in the air. As soon as I re-callibrated it the issue was gone. Didn't unplug the battery or change anything else. But it came back again..

Anything else it could be?

It has been raining a lot so I havn't been able to get to the track and test some things out.
