It will run a castle motor fine on sensorless mode

That is a sensor wire connection. That can only be used with sensored motors. All of the CC motors are sensorless.

Tekin motors are sensored.

Good luck,
Nick

What (esc to lipo)connector type have you selected?

What type is on your lipo? What type is on your charger?

I do not run at BEC at this time.

I'm running a Tekin 1900kv combo in my Ten-T and a Tekin 2000kv combo in my D8T, both without a BEC.

If it were me I would sell that castle motor and buy a similar Tekin motor so I could utalize the sensored mode. Once I ran a Tekin esc/motor combo I never wanted to run a sensorless setup again.

1900kv or 2050kv for a buggy
2000kv for a truggy on 4s.

Good luck,
Nick

what is sensorless and sensored?
