I bought a Turnigy Trackstar Outlaw 13.5T motor and the ESC would not pick up the sensor so was cogging badly. Tried new sensor wire - still nothing. Plugged the Tekin back in - works straight away. So wire and ESC must be OK - bad new motor?

They replaced the motor with another Outlaw, but exactly the same happened. Tried an older Tekin motor - works fine. Tried the Redline again - works fine. Maybe another duff motor??

Replaced with a Turnigy Trackstar (different to the outlaw) - EXACTLY the same again! I've reloaded the Tekin ESC s/w - still the same. It's also definitely set to Sensored Only too. I simply swap motors back and it's perfect.

All three Turnigy motors work in the forwards direction if operated so ABC are correct. Am I missing something, or are the new Turnigy's simply not compatible with the older RS Pro?

Thanks in advance.
You can tell if the sensore are working/connected properly as the three LED on the right hand side of the ESC display glow faintly when the motor is turned by hand. It's a great function.
