Exactly my thoughts. If it's not a poor solder connection and all the MMM's FETs are intact, then next item to question would be the motor


SH Z-Car, Custom Crawler, 8s Savage, 12s XTM XLB 1/7 buggy, 4wd 4-link rear/IFS Pro4 truck, Custom Hyper 10 Short Course, Belt-Drive Mammoth ST 1/8 truggy, 4s 17.5 MM Pro HPI Blitz

Just an idea here. Any of you guys with the stuttering/cogging controllers have a second motor you could connect to the controller to make sure that it really is the ESC that is having problems?

Doesn't have to be a motor capable of driving your car, just any brushless motor...

I just had a situation with a setup where one of the motor wires had come loose inside the motor can. Everything looked great, motor just waggled when power was applied. Tested OK when we pulled it out of the vehicle, but a little tug here and there and the wire came loose.

If a setup doesn't work multiple times, I mean with multiple Monster controllers, start looking for another point of failure. We really do test these things before they leave the shop.
