so I had a thought. need some input as to weather is can work at all.

ive got a novakan and its came with a samutan bldc drive and motor. the drive was crap, and blew a long time ago (everyone knows the samutan story by now id imagine). i replaced the spindle with a high speed motor spindle in the meantime.

but I have this motor sitting there and another project requiring a motor, and was wondering, would a brushless esc with the correct voltage make it run? I know it wont have good low speed characteristics being sensorless, but it should still make it turn right?

I don't have any esc's handy here to give it a try except one from a micro plane. 7.4v 3 amps. I don't think that's gonna even turn it (or with it?)

anyone have any thoughts?
