Id be looking at the sensor board in the motor and cleaning it off to make sure there is no grease or oil from the rear bearing on the sensor board. Motor cleaner works well, then just a tiny drop of oil for the bearing from the back side.
Sensor wire is brand new. Solder job is good and nothing touching on the tabs. The ESC and motor are brand new. This happened on the first run about 4 laps in. Pretty frustrated as I am getting nothing from Hobbywing Tech Support.

Check to ensure the sensor wire is fully plugged into the esc. I see this too often.

New sensor wires unfortunately are bad at times

A new motor often has grease on the sensor board. Check and wash with motor spray. Alao ensure the rotor is not touching the sensors. Should be a small air gap.

Last turn the timing down on the motor say 5 degrees. The motor could be just slightly over timed.

Good luck

Do you have the same final drive? Did you have your end points turned up all the way, did you calibrate the speedo to your radio correctly?

I need help quick if possible. I was running my buggy with the 150a HW and SMC 1900kv motor sensorless so I had to swap the A and B wires on the motor so it would run in the correct direction. I posted on here when I had that issue. Fwd had the power of reverse and visa versa. Well I just got a new sensor wire and plugged it in I unsoldered the wires from the motor and soldered AtoA BtoB and CtoC. went to run it and its running in reverse again. Do I have to change a setting once I run with a sensor wire? I wouldn't think so. Or maybe the port on the motor is bad? I was going to try port#2 but I will have to unsolder again because it is under the wires that are soldered to the motor tabs. Also with these sensor wires are they supposed to be a tight fit when pushed into the port? Its hard to get out and I don't want to pull on the wires and break them.

Also, This isn't a situation where I just reverse the throttle setting on the radio. That doesn't work.

When you calibrate your radio to the speedo you should set your throttle in the radio to reverse and your end points all the way up for brakes and throttle. Afterwards you may have to go into the speedo perimeters and reverse the motor direction.

I did set the radio to rev throttle when I calibrated. I didn't touch end points. And last time this happened reversing the motor direction didn't work but I will give that a shot. But it seems like I am still running sensorless. Because when I didn't have the sensor cable and I soldered A-A B-B and C-C it did the same thing. I had to flip A and B wires. But when running sensored you have to have A-A B-B and C-C according to the manual which is how I soldered them this time. I will try the motor direction. But if that doesn't work I am leaning towards the sensor port on the motor not working. I will have to try the #2 port I guess.

Ok I recalibrated then switched the motor rotation to clockwise. Seems to be good now with the sensor wire. It's ok to run the motor in that direction right?

Hi,

my second attempt:

I drive the Xerun SCT pro 120A (2-4S) black. I can not calibrate it, unfortunately. When you turn it flashes green, turns red and then flashes red only ????
I´ve tried all: another receiver, another motor, controlled the soldering, changed the reverse - nothing helps.
Please help me!!!

Hobbywing Tech Team???

It could be your radio is bad...
Try plugging your throttle into your steering slot on your receiver and see if your throttle works with the steering. If it does then you're not getting throttle signal from your radio.

I havent really tried it outside yet. I will tomorrow. But in the basement it is running correctly it seems. Will I be able to tell the difference with the sensor wire? I haven't been doin real good on the track cause I get no traction I'm always spinning out in corners and fish tailing when I hit throttle in straights. I turned the exp throttle setting down and the speed throttle setting and installed the sensor wire. So I'm hoping it tames it didn't some.
