I am pretty sure its all connected from briefly checking it over, but will check again tommorow. Even if it was missing 1 phase, shouldn't it still cog and try to go? And if the problem was in the motor, wouldn't hooking the old vxl motor to it make it work? Or would the small contact of 3.5mm to 5.5mm bullets make that not work at all?
