it sounds like a bad sensor cable, however i believe this system is sensorless? correct me if im wrong
if thats the case then mayb a bad motor or rotor within the motor, have you tried hooking other motors up to it? mayb a new motor? cuz if that doesnt work, obviously that would tell if your speedo is the issue

Will the Mamba Pro run the Velineon motor?

Yes it will without a problem. And I actually prefer the Castle MMP ESC with the Traxxas Velineon motor compared to a Velineon Combo or Castle Combo. In my experience, if done right, the Velineon will run cooler compared to the Castle equivalent. And with the Castle MMP, you now have a full programable ESC compared to the Traxxas ESC. Best of both worlds kind of thing.
