Just got a new Castle Mamba Monster X/2200kv sensored motor for my flux for my b-day from my wife.
After grinding down a motor mount to fit over the stupid fins and a few other things, I got it installed and ready to calibrate. It calibrated with my receiver fine and I adjusted some of the settings using my castle link.
Plugged in the batteries, turned it on, and it basically sits there and vibrates angrily when I apply throttle. I checked the manual and found that when in sensored mode, the motor wire connections are relevant. So, I unplugged that and got them how I think they need to be... manual isn't to clear on what's what on the motor, but it matches the photo. Plugged the packs back in, turned it on, still angry vibrations when applying throttle forward/back. It doesn't actually rotate the spur, just rocks it back and forth very angrily. Then I disconnected the sensor wire and it worked fine.
Granted, this is a savage and having smooth as butter take off isn't overly necessary, but would be nice to use the features I have available.
Just not sure if I'm missing something obvious or if there's some other setup I have to do.
Maybe I need to adjust the start power to low. I think that's how I had the Blur F360C set.
