JUST STOCK ESC LOW SPEED TO HIGH SPEED PROBLEM
I HAVE 2 JUST STOCK ESC'S AND 2 HOBBYWING SENSORLESS 17.5 IN MY SC10.
My problem is both setups roll like you barely give it throttle till they reach a certain speed then just seem to go full throttle. I've ruled out servo's,radio,rec and gear ratio. I've changed the punch from 1-9 with no change.

Did you set your neutral, wide open and wide open reverse? If not hold the set button and turn on esc. Should blink leave remote alone press set button again. Then will beep. Hold trigger wide open and press button again. Then do the same for reverse. Should fix your problem.
I've been in the hobby for almost 30 years just not sure if there defective or maybe need a firmware update,,,I got in a wreck during a heat race at the bottom of a jump and it didn't have the power to clime up it but as soon as they roll about 15 foot there fine as long as you don't slow way down

Hobbywing XeRUN ECS is the way to go
Latemodel13 is true, I can feel huge differences between sensored & sensoredless. I will recommend Xerun 150A ESC. The color Blue or Black? it is up to your taste. No performance in differences.

Hi All,
Using a Castle Mamba Max Pro at the moment, paired with a Tenshock SC411 sensored brushless motor.
I was wondering if the HobbyWing 120A SC supports a "smart start" mode similar to the MMP where it starts at low speed in sensored mode, then moves to a sensorless mode for high speeds?
Thanks!

A sensor problem is usually indicated by a blinking yellow light in neutral i think.
Hope you have solved it already!

Thought I would post this up in case it helps someone one day (if they do a "search" 
)
After 9 months of faithful service, my GT3B reciever (paired with a Mamba Max Pro (MMP) ESC, Tenshock SC411 motor, Hitech 7955TG servo, and a Novak Glitch Buster Capacitor) gave me a problem.
From the onset, I needed to install the glitch buster capacitor because even at standstill there was a lot of glitching. Once that was in, no problems for 9 months.
Then yesteday it was glitching a lot, and I could get this to happen simply by turning the steering with my hand at standstill, thus loading up the servo, and it would then glitch the whole system - steering, and motor.
After 2 hours of thinking it might be the ESC and thinking I might need to get a new ESC or a BEC, I finally gave in and chucked in my spare receiver ($8!) as a last ditch attempt. Everything stopped glitching and all was well with the universe again.
Moral of the story: If you're getting some glitching - there may be differences even within the receiver rather than a BEC.
