It will run the motor in the KV mode, but slow. It won't run the motor in the timing mode.
I believe the seller saying it worked for him, so do these boards just work then go bad? If so this would be my first.
Your experience would be helpful. Thank you.
Sensor boards are pretty simple, electronically speaking. Having 3 sensors go bad all at the same time is beyond reasonable probability. Have a good look at your sensor wire connections -- I suspect a bent power pin on either the G-Force side or on the motor side.
