Try the startup at low.
I had a similar problem once and it was a blown out diff that was causing strain on the motor and it appeared to be cogging ( just a thought) also try an older firmware version.

it is a good chance the motors are dead already.have you put wire a to a,b to b,and c to c?If these are not soldered up correctly than you will damage the motor.And i use a spektrum voltage protector or novak glitch buster with mine it works fine.

There are 3 wires going to the motor, if you unplug the red one is the problem the same? If you plug the red back in and unplug the black is the problem the same, white?

It could be that one leg of the three phases is not working.

The beauty of Castle stuff is that their support is awesome, you may just need to call them Monday.

are you for certain the wires are in alphabetical order?Also make sure youre voltage cutoff is at 3.4v,sensored only setting,lowest start power,auto lipo,dont mess with anything else,and also wiggle the wires into the speed control as it might not be in all the way.

Suppose it could be software related, but I've never heard of software doing this.

Maybe the wires were mis labeled? Try swapping the order of the wires, just be careful to watch for heat if it reacts poorly.
