that's the only idea I can come up with. unless you have a defective esc I think it's a radio or esc setting causing the issue.

I have tried different dead band settings and it resulted in no throttle at all. so I immediately thought that could be your issue. I also thought of maybe your sensor wire is bad if you are using one.
just throwing some ideas out there.
Thanks, I tried changing the dead band settings, no joy. I think the sensor wire is good, if I leave it unplugged, the ESC lights up a couple of LEDs.

I heard back from Novak, they think it is most likely the motor since the lights on the ESC are acting properly. I am buying another motor and sensor wire to test it with...my other sensored brushless motors are installed and it is not worth the trouble to undo them for troubleshooting.
