Good news!! I had been running the V1.23 firmware when this "cogging" was happening. It's just a habit of mine to always run the latest firmware. Anyway, I loaded up the V1.22 firmware (which is what the ESC is delivered with) and the problem is gone. I tried swapping back and forth between V1.22 and V1.23 multiple times. Each time I did, V1.23 was jerky and nasty and V1.22 was smooth as butter
So, the rest of you folks, don't try V1.23 on your MMPro
