Ok... here's one for the techies...
Don't laugh.... its old but its good
I bought a new Tekin P12C from one of the local hobby shops that had it lying in the warehouse as 'new old' stock. Got home, wired it up and set the throttle up.... So far so good.... then the problem showed up. On full throttle, the motor runs smooth and even. but on light part throttle the motor stutters like the brakes are getting pulsed on.
I adjusted my throttle EPA back to 100% forward and brake (was on 150%) and gave it another try. The pulsing/stutter is still there, but it occupies a larger part of the trigger movement (now approx 60% of the total movement from neutral; used to be less at 150% EPA).
I thought it might have been the TX/RX combination, so I swapped out the DX3R to a JR R1 w/Spektrum module... Still the same.... Swapped and tried 3 different motors from 27Tstocks to 11x3s. Still the same...
Anyone have any clue as to what is happening? I've been racking my brains and can't seem to figure it out...
Thanks!

Thanks for your replies guys...
I'll go have a play with the frame rates on the DX3R... I vaguely remembered playing around with it, but will confirm.
The torque limiter is on maximum. The stutter occurs even when free revving without a pinion on the motor.

Mini Rage Hesitates???
I have an RC18t I race on carpet.
1400 Mh battery (Deans connectors)
6900 Kv motor (Tekin)
12T pinion
55T spur
Tires @ 47mm (Foam)
Current limiter OFF
Timing @ 15
Throttle Linear
Drag brake 10
The truck is fast, much faster then same setup using "OTHER" brushless system. Even had a Tekin sponsored driver for the mini class tell me the truck is fast. The only concern is sometime when I squeeze hard on the throttle the truck hesitates for a second. Even if the truck is still rolling say at 1/3 throttle then squeeze hard it'll stumble. This will even happen with no load on truck. I've tried changing the wires on the ESC and I made my own battery pack and used 16 gauge wire and good quality tabs. Have also tried a stock battery. I just can't seem to figure out the problem because it don't do it on every squeeze. Sometimes it'll take off like a rocket, sometimes it don't.

Biggest thing I usually find is that the motor wires aren't sufficient . Make doubly sure that the connections are good and it does help making the motor wires equal length. These motor wires are also the "sensor wires" if you will and having one off from the others isn't optimal.
Also, the less connections the better. If you can direct solder it helps.

Has anyone had a problem with their computer not recognizing the Hotwire being plugged in?
I had installed the software on my netbook, and then plugged in the hotwire, and did not get the "hardware found" message from XP. Tried using my desktop, and got the same result. When plugged in, the first indicator lights up green, and the rest are a barely lit red. Plugging in the RS esc, causes the NW led to light up, although rapidly flashing, and the led on the hotwire flashes as well.

Maybe he has you on his blocked list! 
I can send and receive email from him just fine with my Verizon account.
