Default Novak Brushless help

Hello, I recently purchased and installed a Novak brushless system in my B44. I just set up the ESC for the second time and am having a slight problem. When i turn on power to the esc the motor is turned on and the car moves forward at a slow pace, after about three seconds it stops and is ready to go. Any ideas why it would do this? Also, I am noticing a clicking sound after acceleration (coasting with throttle in neutral position). I am not sure if this is a normal sound for the motor or something else. Thanks.

My trim is set correctly, that was the first thing i checked. The ESC first flashes red, then amber then red and amber stays light. This is a 10.5 GTB. Thanks.

Are you running a spektrum? My Havoc Pro system would spin the motor slowly for a few seconds and then go to neutral. I rebinded my Spektrum and it stopped.

yes you need to bind the system with all your settings done so if can set the failsafe for neutral that way when your reciever see no signal for a second when you power up it goes to neutral and waits for signal.....if that makes seince
