I have bought one of those 5065 140kv motors that look like the Evolve ones.
They come with a sensor cable with a 5pin plug.
My car ESC however has a 6pin plug and since it is a HK ESC I can’t find a manual that would explain this.
Has anyone an idea as to what I need to do in order to connect the 5 wires to the ESC?
The 6th is a temp sensor which some motors don’t have. There is a thread by @Jinra that goes through how to connect the 5pin motor lead to the Vesc.

This instruction sheet is kind of confusing. Most of the time,
red wire = 5v.
Black wire = Ground.
white wire (some times missing, making 5 wires instead of 6) = temperature sensor (you can ignore it if your motor doesn’t have a temp sensor).
And then three other wires (their colors don’t matter and you can connect them as you wish as there is no polarity). Those are Hall sensor cable and they are detected automatically when you run motor detection in using VESC tool.
