Sensoored brushless motor question

[DrDiff952]

Hi All. I got my first brushless motor, It is a GForce sensored 17.5 turn 2 pole.

The problem is that the sensor harness that came with it has two plugs the same size. Either end will fit the motor but neither is small enough to plug into the Mamba Max pro. This is going into a crawler so it HAS to have the sensor harness.

Does anyone know of a place to get just the sensor harness?

Thanks in advance.

Sensor harnesses usually have the exact same connector on both ends. Can you post up a pic?

Pics would help, but it sounds like you have a motor that is a different plug style than a MMP.

Yeah, the sensor wire should be standard. If GForce is using a proprietary sensor plug size that would be crazy.

Here is the port on the Mamba Max Pro..

Here is the Sensor Harness...

The Motor...

 

[DrDiff952]

If it helps Motor is Brand new ESC was used

The mmp has been plastidipped right?

 

[JohnRobHolmes]

You got junk in the MMP sensor port.

 

[Meatwad]

Looks like part of the port is covered, only 4 pins showing.

 

[DrDiff952]

I don't know if it was plastic-dipped or not. Bought it used. This is my fitst steps into brushless. I'll grab an x-acto and clean out that port

 

[Shinjari]

Yeah looks like whoever waterproofed it with plastidip covered part of the port.

I lnew I would get help here. Thanks guys!

How the heck do you get the case off?

 

[robertjpjr]

I don't have the SCT version but I assume they are the same.
There are 2 tabs per side. There are 2 pieces to the case. Top and bottom. The bottom slides in and clips to the inner wall of the upper case. If its plastidipped you may need to cut it away to see the lines. There's a sticker that wraps around the bottom too, cut through that along the long edge at the bottom on both sides. Pull it apart at the seams. Done.

The Motor...

I have the 21.5T version of this motor that I got for my wraith. No matter what you do, there is no way that motor will run smooth at off idle rpm. I had super low gearing (spur/pinion/diffs), 40% throttle expo and even on only 2s, couldn't get it to smooth out.

 

[DrDiff952]

Johnny were you setup as sensored or sensorless in castle link? I tried mine without harness in sensored mode (no harness) without load it eas smooth. Then changed to sensorless via castle link and it acted similar to your description. Again this was no load no sensor harness in both tests.

I haven't put the motor in the rig yet as it has 3.5 mm plugs abd my MMP has 4 mm plugs.

Which sensor mode in the mmp?

 

[DrDiff952]

No you set it in the csstle link to sensored or sensorless

Which sensor mode in the mmp?
