I couldn't wait til morning ... had to try something tonight so I could give CC tech support more insight tomorrow. I unplugged the MMM; didn't uninstall, just unplugged from motor, RX and battery ... and with the MM laying on top the MMM I plugged it into the motor, RX and battery. AND everything worked fined so it's not the motor and seems to be the MMM. Gee, I don't know if that's good news or bad news.

It could just be a high resistance or intermittent OC in one of the motor phases. I thought my sidewinder was stuffed yesterday till I pulled on the motor bullets and one came right off. It would work when I gave it a kick start otherwise it just cogged and didn't move.
If you're swapping ESC's maybe the coincidence is that it made better contact when pushing the connectors together with the MM. I would try another motor going straight into the MMM bullets - just holding it there to make contact if you don't have the right connectors - before assuming the MMM is no good.

GREAT NEWS!!! I checked the bullet connectors/connections on the MMM and sure enough there was a slightly loose one. Resoldered it and now it's running flawlessly. Thanks for the suggestion GT35R :)
