If the trinity sensor was bad why would it work perfectly fine on the rx8 in sensored mode?
Running sensorless just proves that the sensor board is not the problem. the orion will switch to sensorless and "should" at least run the motor.
If you read the orion thread there are indeed motors the r10 does not like.
It is also not what I believe is a cogging issue. It will not start at all unless you push the car first.
If you need to push the car to get it to start that means you could have a faulty phase. Make sure your solder joints are good on both motor and esc. It is possible to run a 3 phase motor off 2 phases. Sensored or unsensored wouldn't matter. No speed control can detected the manufacture of the motor all it sees is the resistance of the motor. This is a motor issue. I bet you if take them apart the stators will have some damage.
