Default Help with Speed Passion Reventon Pro Please

Just bought a Speed Passion Reventon Pro with Speed Passion Competition V3 5.5t motor. Struggling to get it to work can set neutral point, full throttle & full reverse points ok but when I switch it back on it lights up ok but will not power the motor. Removed all wires & then 're-soldered everything, changed receiver wire but still no go. Anyone got any ideas?

I recently had the same problem when I got my new pro.....the steering was working and realised it was me not calibrating the esc to radio properly !!!

keep trying it is simple when you do it right.......my first run with esc was saturday at the NE regionals.....never had any problems

This is how I calibrated it. I hold the set-up button down for 2 secs when switching on, orange LED lights up, red led flashes & there's a continuous beep, You then press set-up button once - orange light flashes once & there's 1 beep to set neutral position, put throttle to full position press set-up button orange light flashes twice & 2 beeps, put throttle to full reverse press set-up button orange led flashes 3 times & 3 beeps, ESC then automatically switches off. Switch ESC on, red & orange leds light up to signify normal sensored operation,moving throttle has no effect on motor.

I then completely unsoldered all wiring on batteries, esc & motor checked everything then carefully re-soldered everything. re-calibrated still nothing. I even tried calibrating it to the steering channel to see if it was a throttle channel problem, Is there anything else I can d0 please?

Do you have reverse. If not then try swopping two motor wires as if it has no reverse and the polarity is reversed then the motor will do nothing.

no reverse. at moment it's wired yell-yell, blue-blue, orange-orange, is it safe to swap 2 wires round cos it says sensored motors must be wired up as I have done & never altered. The only sign of life I got from the motor was when I switched esc on into calibration mode then the motor was slightly pulsing but this stopped when I set the neutral position.
