Default Motor Knocks

I am converting my B-17 to electric. After running wire I ran the motors. They all run good except that there is a knock that happens every few seconds from the #3 and #4 motors/ESC . I can't tell from which the knock originates. Any Ideas? What about a capacitor?

Brushless motors need 1 ESC for each motor.

Sometimes you can run 2. Never count on that

Run each motor alone. should be smooth as butter.
