Seems the esc has to have timing signal or it doesnt work. Ran the same motor on a tekin and ran fine.
this is due to the fact the Kinetic only works as a sensored based speedo. Some others have a sensorless mode. But with todays motors it is obsolete to opperate in this setting. Especially for racing purposes but thats what the Kinetic was designed for. Racing....
