Default LRP ESC problem, help appreciated (video content)

Hello, I'd kindly like to some advise from you expert guys about the issue I have with a brand new LRP combo.
I'll briefly describe it but the linked video says it all.

With everything switched on and running, if the motor rotor stops in certain positions it won't turn anymore, like missing power supply. But turning it by hand in another position, it will move again.
Furthermore, if the throttle trigger is pulled to 100% while the rotor is in "stucked" position, a flashing error is displayed instead of the regular blinking green light.

I suppose this is related to a fault in the sensoring chain, but before enquiring for warranties or buying replacements, I'd like to here if this is familiar for someone.

Then, can it be the sensor wire?
The motor sensor board?
Or, worst of all, an ESC failure?

Thanks for any input you have to give

I'd guess it's the sensor board. Stops on the bad one and won't go till you turn past it. Trying a different sensor wire would be the easiest thing to try first. Trying another motor would help diagnose too. Don't know if LRP has the mode to test sensors or not. Check the instruction manual.

Thanks man, I dont' have a test mode for the hall sensor, so I'll try to investigate as you suggested, hoping no fault's due to the ESC itself
