You got pictures?
I only know the normal one (like on their website) which only has one 4Pin connector for UART.
Well the VX1 has a separate PPM/PWM port (got an additional Signal pin).
Did you order that specific motor shaft or is that what was sent to you?
When I made the order I asked for prop to be sent with the motor, I didn’t know that it will be like that. So it is better to mention what do you need. But INHO it is not an issue due to the fact you can also cut the thread if required.
Cutting a thread in the shaft is a PITA. The threaded shaft is much better as even the 3D printed props outperform the props they are offering with those motors!
Looks like the VX1 Receiver.
Well feeding 5V with 12V might have killed it.
Usually it should work to just plug it in
Receiver - other end
5V - 5V (any source, even powerbank is fine)
GND - GND (if using separate it must be connected to ESC GND)
Signal - ESC Signal
Edit:
Just saw the ESC has no BEC. So the Receiver should be working when just pluged into power (5V and GND). But to have the ESC also working, it also needs 5V and GND at Signal input.
So you need:
Receiver - BEC -ESC
5V - 5V -5V
GND -GND -GND
Signal - / - Signal
I haven’t connected to 12V directly. Just using this connector from ESC. The only thing I may did wrong it is plugged connector to receiver wrong side. Or I still think UBEC has to be used or separate 5V power supply. I will check again with Flipsky

So I used to have this receiver and my ESC didn’t have a built in BEC either. To solve this problem, I connect a 5v power source to the little bit of pin sticking out from the bottom of the receiver. Once that’s done, the receiver should start flashing. Then, you only need to connect your 3pin from the ESC and it should work fine. From the looks of it, the 3pin wire attached to your ESC does not provide power to the receiver hence why you need to power it through the underside of the pins with a 5v source.
Thanks for explanation. So I think the problem was that my power supply which is 12V was not enough. So I connected receiver to separate 5V power source and it worked just fine. I think 12V is not enough to even start ESC, because it was only 4.6 or a bit less in receiver line. I will try to find more power to startup whole system all together.
Dear @Vicdes2, I got reply from FLIPSKY. And now they said me that I have to use UBEC due to the fact this ESC is OPTO. So I think I will go with ZTW 14S UBEC that I will connect to the battery as well as ESC. So now I just trying to understand how I should connect ESC to receiver and what that 3 wires means from ESC. and how should i connect them? )))
For those who face same problem I found proper wiring if needed. So Flipsky 300A ESC is OPTO ESC that require UBEC for receiver. I think best solution for UBEC would be ZTE 14S UBEC that cost about 40$ and you can connect it to the same battery.
Bellow pictures of wire connection:

hello guys, I have an Alien 300A ESC, identical to FLIER 300A ESC, would the REMOTE FLIPSKY VX2 PRO work with the ESC? and if so which version VESC4 or VESC6
@mihelangel this remote is for vesc type esc and it will not work with standard esc ppm signal apparently
the receiver has to be modified with extra solder wires so you can directly order it, need to ask them
Hi, Nurbul has a simple ESC from Flipsky
https://flipsky.net/products/seal-300a-60v-esc-for-surfboard-e-foiler-board
I just want to know which version of the remote control he ordered
As he said : custom order
does the maytech remote receiver V2 work okay with 5v or must it be 3.3v?
To everyone who cares. Version VESC4 can be seen in the photos of NURBUL.
hey mate did find out anything about the remote I have a flier 300 a and was wondering if the Flipsky remote would work with it to?
