My slash and my new Skyrc Toro motor...

[Beginner Racing]

Hello everyone of the Traxxas Forums,
This is my first time on the site, and my time with the Traxxas Slash is short lived.
I have a mostly stock Slash 4x4 which the stock motor bearing seized, so I bought a SkyRC Toro 4pole 4000kv motor as a replacement. I soldered the esc and motor with 5mm male/female connecters. The weird thing is, no matter how many times I reset the esc, it still gets no reverse, and as for running... there is only throttle when the car is in my hand lifting the RC off the floor, If I put the RC on the floor and try to play with it, the car just stutters and buckles a little. It does not run. Can anyone help me with my dilemma?

What battery are you using? i have a leopard 4370kv and esc thats also made by skyrc. i was using a old nicad battery and it was real jittery in reverse and barely creeped. now i run a 3s lipo and it roast the tires in reverse. oh mines a 2wd stampede

tell me if im wrong but from what i read your running a 4 pole motor on a stock ecs . if that is the case i belive that would be you problem . the vxl ecs never liked any of my 4 pole motors

vxl esc will not run the 4 pole motors. You could try a castle sv2 or mmp...

Why not just replace the seized bearing? I have replaced a couple of ours.
