Nevermind, nothing wrong with the ESC. It's just my retarded brain! I need to learn to read the instructions more carefully. I had the LVC set to "auto-detect" and there's a note in the manual that says auto-detect is only good for 2s, 4s, and 6s. I'm using 3s. So I set it to 3s manually and BAM, it works!

Two reasons so far that the HW EZRun 150A is better than the MM that was in the truggy:

1. NO COGGING AT ALL!!!!
2. It's faster!

And as a 3rd note, I don't notice that low-speed cyclicle lurching with either my 150A or 80A ESCs that others have seen. I tried it several times and I always get a steady low speed crawl. So I don't think that lurching thing is a characteristic of all the ESCs.

On 4s, it should accelerate even faster! I'd gear it to keep approximately the same top speed (40-42mph), but acceleration should be even more brutal and tire ballooning on 4s than it is now on 3s. Too bad I don't have any good 2s/4s packs. All I have are the Zippy Flightmax red hardcase 2s packs which keep popping open with any serious current demand. They're rated at 100A, and that might be true of the individual cells, but the soldering is so poor that they're 60A packs at best.
