After getting the external halls to work well on my Turnigy 6374 149kv and not being able to leave well enough alone I tried adding internal halls. Of course this is much more difficult 
After managing to nick the windings with my dremel I was worried that the motor would short. The windings seems fine though and it still works with external halls. The problem is I get nothing but a twitch. no commutation.
Any reason why these halls would not work internally? these are the halls I use externally and they work fine:

I admit that I have not tried every single combination but I tried a lot of combinations and seems like something is worng. It is not behaving like my externals where there were multiple combinations that resulted in commutation as there should be.
I checked to see if the halls were switching but doesnt seem to be. I hooked up the hall power wires in parallel and placed them in between slots (every fourth for 12 toothed motor). The chamfered edge is facing up. Right pin is 5v, middle pin is ground and left pin is hall phase.
Looks like I am going to have to take it apart and try to get the halls to switch with a magnet. Hard to imagine that all three halls could be fried. I fell like it is something else going on. Any ideas? I am about to abandon internal halls all together. It is too much work.
