Hi All,
After many years of RC I have finally gotten my dream vehicle - a new Baja 5b Flux. I am running a Castle 2028 1100kv motor (rated for much larger vehicles, so should run cool). I expect to run 6s and 8s.
One small thing: the way the motor is oriented, if everything is left to default settings, the motor rotates the "wrong" way. So you have to either swap motor wires or reverse the throttle on the transmitter. The problem is, both of those actions seem to mess up the sensor wire. When I get the motor rotating the "right" way (i.e. so that squeezing the throttle forward makes the go forward) and then plug in the sensor wire, everything stops working.
Are any of you running sensor wires? What combination of settings did you use to be able to run the sensor wire?
Also, does this even matter? Maybe with such a huge vehicle, and such low KV ratings, the sensor wire doesn't matter much.
Thanks!
