Here is the issue if i go to full throttle i would lose power to servo and lose control of the motor it would run away for a quit second then come come right back. i thought it was the esc so i put a mmm esc on it and its doing the same thing. Can a motor cause this? if so can it be fixed?
You didn't mention what other electronics you are using, but Mambas and high drain servos don't mix. Can't guarantee this is the problem, but a simple glitchbuster capacitor or running the rx off of a stand-alone bec could be the solution. I've seen those two fixes solve lots of different issues when a Mamba is involved.
