I have a Sidewinder esc installed in my FWD TC. The motor is a 17.5 geared 3.5 to 1. Is there a way to program the esc to eliminate the cogging that occurs at startup? Thanks, Don

Make sure it has the latest firmware, and then increase start power.

Thanks, I'll try that. Don

i have the same problem in my slash with a 13.5/mmm on 2s no matter what i set the esc at. only way it goes away is when i use 3s. i know the mmm is meant for higher voltage but it was the only spare esc i had lying around, and one of the tracks has a 2s limit for open? the high start power did help a little but it made the motor heat up pretty fast in the slash on 2s. i think i might just get rid of the slovak motor in the end, or run 3s and not race w/ it
