Default Motor cuts out and back on

Hi I have a plane powered with a Eflite 15, 40 amp esc and a 3200 4s, I'm not pushing it hard the esc, motor and Batt never get hot but when I'm flying it will randomly cut out and come back on in about a second, I think I still have control but it happens so fast it's hard to tell, never had this happen before, esc? Not a problem?
Thanks

That's a problem Dwayne, of the nasty kind because you want a problem to occur all the time, not sometimes.

Possible causes (not radio related) and solutions
Motor stuttering? Won't run? Read before asking. - RCG

What type of radio setup and plane do you have? Maybe your getting some holds in the radio system.

What happens when you swap ESC with a servo channel Dwayne?
Does the problem move to other channel?

Prettig weekend Ron

Sorry guys I've been out of town, I switched to a 50 amp esc and the problem is gone, now do I try the other esc in another plane to see if the same thing happens? Umm how brave do I feel? LOL
