I already have deans connectors on it and when i was trying it i had it in semi so il try full auto. Thx for the help il let you know what happens.
OK, this all sounds decent. You need to make sure you rule out the battery somehow, it could just be low/etc.

My bet is that the motor is sitting too high in the grip, and if you lower it a little bit (I like to go by quarter turns of the motor height adjustment screw and fire a semi shot between each turn) at some point it'll suddenly start turning. It'll probably screech at first since it'll still be too high, but low enough to move the bevel gear.. After that, lower a little more until it sounds "nice" (hard to qualify... but not screechy).
