I hesitate to get into this too much because there are a lot of unknowns and it's difficult to get on the same page... what I "see" you might "see" a little different.

First off I can say I have talked to Castle about some issue I have noticed... I don't know what can and will be done to address certain things. Some things they (Castle) don't "see" so it's hard to say what they can do about it.

The cogging from a dead stop is a problem with the big cars/big motors. I'm sure certain motors do this more than others. I have run my 1/8 and barely saw this at all and other times it happened a lot and was a big problem.

If you ever have this cogging on initial startup definitely don't keep on the throttle. Let off immediately and try giving just a little throttle to get the motor to start. If you just jam on the throttle when it's sitting there stuttering it basicly is shorting out the esc and it will get very hot very fast... wiring and all.

I actually smoked my datalogger one day when I was getting cogging and decided to see what would happen if I stayed in the throttle a lot etc... bad experiment. The wires got hot.. the plugs on the eagle tree actually desoldered. The MM still works fine btw... just had to let it cool off.
