I ordered the same ESC and motor combo but have not yet received it. I have done some research and know that the ESC has some bugs. They just released an update to download to fix the bugs. Most of the issues are happening at start up. I would go to the Castle website and download the update if you have not yet. This sounds like one of the issues that ESC was having. Good luck.

One of the issues were the motor cutting in and out at start up, not cogging. The download was supposed to fix it. Also some people have reported issues at setup. Not sure if that really is the ESC or user tho. Check the website they have the download for that ESC. Most of the users that did the download has been very happy with this setup. I still ordered it knowing about the problem. Castle is pretty good about getting fixes out when they become aware of problems.
