If you do not have a remote control and/or receiver, read here.
Well, if you have a remote controller and a receiver you just have to connect the wires, and play around with sticks and you will see that the Brush-less motor will start moving. If it did not work follow the following steps:
* If your problem is bad wires, this will not help you.
1) change the connection between motor and the ESC:
In normal ESCs and Motors the wires should be connected from right to left or left to right. By changing the order between these two, you will change the direction that the motor will rotate. You should connect most left coming out of ESC to the most left going to the motor. I have seen motors which does not work this way, the best is to try all combinations by shifting each wire to tight or left. If this did not work go for the next step.
2) flip the connector which connects the receiver to ESC.
You may be able to flip this in many receivers, if you are not able to do so, that means that your connection is right. Keep in mind that usually the middle pin is 5V and the sides are ground and signal. Red is usually chosen for 5V, black or brown for ground and yellow for signal.
3) If it does not work yet, try another channel and move all the sticks.
4) If you have an oscilloscope (a servo motor will do the same in easier manner if you have one), connect it to signal pin of your receiver. If you had a square wave with period of 10ms or something around that, then your remote control and receiver work. If you are lazy to take an oscilloscope just connect a servo. If the servo works, it means remote control and receiver work.
So, now you have to make sure that the brush-less motor or ESC is working. The only way, I know is using another brush-less motor or ESC. If you know a better way leave it in comments.
