Sensorless brushless motors: When using a motor without
sensors, if the motor spins in the wrong direction, simply
reverse two of the motor wires.
Sensor brushless motors: When using a motor equipped
with sensors, the motor should also be connected to
the ESC via a sensor wire WARNING! When using
sensor equipped motors, you must respect the A-B-C wire
connection order, you can’t connect the wires randomly or
the motor will not spin at all!
