vxl and novak hv motor?
 

why wont my hv motor work with my traxxas vxl? it should,vxl supports sensord systems and hv motors are only 2 poles i think

We have not used the VXL with the HVs. Maybe, you could ask Traxxas?

it works great.
i have two vxl esc´s connected with two novak motors.
one is connected to a hv 5.5 in a hyper 10 sc and other is connected with a velociti 8.5 in a 4wd lrp s10 blast buggy.

both run flawless with any heat or cogging issue.

in my opinion is a great esc!!

and i race both cars.

Wow this is the first I have heard about this combo actually working.

I think the VXL ESC is quite underrated. I have one now that's fairly untidy, button got stuck so I opened it up and took it out so now to turn it on it's a screwdriver through the hole job, told Traxxas and they're sending me a new case :) Ran a Medusa 36-70-2000 motor last night with one no problems at all, no cogging, on 3s Lifepo4.

ESC didn't even raise a sweat.

Check your sensor motor wire is plugged in correctly. Does it run without the sensorwire?

on mine vxl both motors run with sensor connected and working with zero cogging..

are u using 1/8 shafts or 5mm and is the older vxl or waterproof 1 thanks

yes is a 5mm 5.5 hv motor on a hyper 10 sc short truck and is the waterproff vxl.
i usually run on 1/8 tracks and no heat issues until now.
motor and esc rarelly warm.
vxl is a great esc because can handle to 200 amps continuos and is super simple, and have temperature cut off on esc and motor.
i have race with this setup to and with good results.
no need to buy or use mmp or others..

try switching around the motor plugs. it doesn't matter if you are running sensorless, but it does matter if are running sensored.
