make sure the + and - wires from all 3 caps are soldered directly to the + and - posts.

you will get stuttering problems if you attach the caps to each other and only have 1 wire going to each post or if you extend the caps away from the esc with wire.

it is something the gm esc seems to be very sensitive to.

2 should also be fine.

pull the small cap off and put 2 of the 3 other caps that come with the esc on there.

Most likely itīs something with the motor. Unscrew the endbell and check the solderjoints. On my motor one of the solderjoints had lost contact with the circuitbord.

You can try to connect a brushed motor, if it works itīs probably something wrong with your BL-motor

How does the GM Genuis 95 compare to the LRP Sphere Competition 2007? I am not going to run a low turn motor maybe a 7.5 brushless at the most - but will use a 13.5 BL for stock to start with, for both on-road and off-road use.
Cheers,
Tony

a question: what does the "armature" setting do in the software setup program for the genius95 ?

Thanks!
