I'm pretty sure it's bad, but it is brand new out of the box and I want to make sure.

No power to the motor. A to A, B to B, C to C, still nothing. Tried with and without the sensor cable, tried with Tekin Redline, LRP X-12, and Castle CM36 4600. The lights work according to the throttle action, but the motor shows no reaction.

Also, it won't recognize the connection to the Castle link or the field card without plugging it in and unplugging it a few times.

Am I missing something? All the motors work, tested on my SV2.

And yes, the battery is fully charged.

Did you try reversing the throttle channel ?

exact specs of what your trying to run?

Did you have any probs calibrating?

What are the MMPs LEDs doing - they provide a code that helps figure out whats wrong.

that was my first thought. If you have forward only (no reverse) mode selected in the ESC and your throttle channel is reversed in the radio, it will look just like your situation. I had this same scenario happen to me!!!!
