I was reading back through this thread and just thought of something that may help. This quote from GD got me thinking:

I tried putting a little solder "jumper" on my connectors to see if that would help and my buddy replaced his connectors with Corally style gold plugs that are similar to the 4mm stock ones but are a different (we think superior) design and quality. But we still see the issue.
What if there is too much noise on the motor/ESC wires under high current during startup so the ESC has a hard time correctly reading the feedback pulses? Or maybe there is some cross-induction of this feedback confusing the controller?

What I am going to try tomorrow is somehow shielding each motor wire from each other and then trying to duplicate the issue I'm having. However, my symptoms are not very consistent so it might be tough.

It's a shot in the dark, but worth a try. I'll report back tomorrow...
