Exceloin speedo issue
Went racing on Wednesday but speedo packed up as soon as i got there.
It's got a symptom like the old brushed motors used to get. Press trigger... Nothing. Give wheels a little spin with the throttle on it works. Got a sticky brush type fault, but it's brushless. I have tried New sensor cable Setting it up to transmitter, for/rev/neutral Updated firmware. It's quite a weird fault as it works if the wheels are given some help so hopefully someone can advise if there is anything I can try. The 6.5 system is about 18 months old now but only been used for about 20 meetings so I would say it's not had much use. Weird.....

I would try another motor first. Sounds like a sensor issue to me.

Done some testing tonight, (I have the same 6.5 system in other car)
Def the speedo itself, tried motor and sensor wire and radio gear. Guess I need to call horizon, the system was purchased from dms and even though it's had hardly and use it's now 18+ months old. I'm in too minds now, I got a second hand sphere for 50 quid few months ago for another car. I hope the repair costs are cheap! Has anyone ever had a similar problem with their brushless speedo and know if the issue easy to fix, maybe something I could check out and replace the part myself?

I had the same problem at the Batley regional same speedo. I tried everything opened the case as well to see if anything in there. I have to bin it now as nothing I could do with it. I had changed the wires on it so I think I damaged something inside with the heat of soldering.

Only soldering been done on this one is at the motor end.
I have just called horizon and the speedo is now discontinued.... So no chance of repair  They did say it sounds like the sensor circuit within the speedo. I plan to get inside the thing once I'm back at work next week and inspect just incase it's a dry joint. I'm gonna post a new thread on fixing the sensor circuit. Hopefully someone may know. As if this has happened to me it prob gone happen to someone else too.
