Default Sounds motor related!

If it has a brushed motor i'd say it's the commutator in the motor.Over time they become grooved and dirty and it prevents the brushes from making good contact.A good skimming of the comm and new brushes would make it like new.I'd try another motor and your problem will most likely be gone.

Try recalibrating the speed control. Or mess with the trim setting and see if you can get a bit smoother operation out of that.
Usually, it wouldn't be the motor as long as you never overheat, but being an hpi motor, I'm not 100% sure of the quality.

HPI doesn't make a 27T brushless motor, it is a brushed motor, and the brushes are most likely stuck on the comm.

I would pull them out and clean them, and try again.

Arrow

Easy way to tell is if you only have 2 wires going to the motor then it's brushed.
