fastish eddie Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Hi Forum. JUst getting back in to 10th racing after a 20 year break, so i am in need of help and advice. I have an Excced sport esc and two 13.5 turn moters. The problem is, the moters wont start spinning. Once you start the moter moving by giving the car a pust or kick it goes fine as long as the car is moving. Im useing 3300 nImh battery suspect the esc is shot. Your advice will be helpfull.Is there any way of testing any of the components? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noj Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Brushes on a brushless motor?? How healthy is the battery? Could be it can't supply sufficient current to kick start the can. You can open the cans to check the rotor, magnets and coil are in good health, bearings too. Without a motor tester, you'd have to try the cans on a different ESC to confirm rude health. Same goes for the ESC, you need a known healthy can and battery to check it. Hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastish eddie Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 I did think about the battery but they are brand new as were the two motors that do the same thing. took one apart to have a look.I wont do that again lol. the battery spins a brushed motor with no problem.

DannyP Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Brushes on a brushless motor?? That will teach me for not reading properly. The damn thread title says brushless!! Into the vat from me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 The pack may not have enough punch to get the can turning...of course a faulty ESC could be involved. Is the kit old? Testing with a lipo would determine if the combo is running correctly, have you access to one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuttyProfessor Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 That esc is a sensored setup, for it to run unsensored, you need to tell it through the program card, have you got the sensor cable plugged in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
