Default RE: OS ESC & Hacker 14XS compatibility??

Update:

I spoke with Hacker this morning, and they seem to believe the OS ESC may be causing the issue. The two may not be compatible. Both great products, but the two may not work well together.

The OS ESC has a non-adjustable PWM frequency of 32khz. The Q80 28 pole motors require 8 khz. Some of the earlier Q80s were 20 pole motors. Perhaps that is why some have success with the OS ESC/Q80 combo?

I still have a few things to check on the motor to be sure that is not the source of the problem, including trying a Castle ESC.

I'm waiting on some feedback from Hobbico/O.S. too.
