I have an the ...35G ESC installed in my MX400 and went through the setup with the Tx as per the instructions.

When I raise the throttle slowly, the motor jerks only a couple teeth on the main gear, making the blades turn a bit each time I try to start up. Finally, after about 3 or 4 trys, the soft start engages and the hs climbs up. Once it starts, it's working and flying great.

Any ideas on the sporadic inputs to the motor and then after a while it starts up?
Could it be the Low Throttle Response setting on 35G?

Thanks.


(using MX400, 35G esc, 3s/11.1/2100's, stock Helimax 2580kv motor, epa's 100% around, Futaba T6EX 2.4 Tx-Rx set, with esc settings: Brake Disabled, mid-timing, low batt-protection, Heli-1 mode, throttle response Low)

I had that happen. Check the connectors and make sure they are not loose. It might be timing or a break in the coils.
