Angry Sensored Motor Help

Hey guys,
I just blew my Speed Passion Reventon S Esc when i connected it with a Turnigy Trackstar sensored motor. I cant find out anywhere why this happened. So can someone please give some tips and tricks that must be done with sensored combos. i am new to sensored combos but have been in the hobby for a while.
Thanks

How many turns was the motor? Did you have a-a b-b and c-c wired correctly? Did it work sensorless (without sensor cable, as Reventon S should auto switch)

It was a 9.5t motor and i think all the wire were connected in the right order. I have since found out that the esc is rated for motors 10.5t and above, so that might have had an effect.
Thanks

I dont think running a 9.5t would have killed it that quick. Unless it was geared high and ran on 3s or some stressful running. I had the Reventon S. It wasnt the most powerful set up. I would beat if it blew right away you had a faulty ESC. I would return to SP for replacement. Even though Im about 100% sure your 9.5 didnt fry it, I wouldnt mention it when talking to SP

ESC Ratings are based on Amp draw (ESC's can't count), not how many turns the motor is, I have seen a 21.5 motor blow up a 120A esc because the drivetrain was locked solid and the user kept mashing the throttle.

I would like to hear what they have to say. My guess is you got an unlucky motor with a shorted stator in it.
