This is a motor issue. I bet you if take them apart the stators will have some damage.
One thing I did notice was that turning the max to the same position every time will allow it to start. It just never happens to stop on that "phase"

I will ohm out the motors to see if I can find something that stands out. With as many times as I have soldered these things I am ruling out a soldering issue. They are running through solid bullet connectors for easy motor changes and the r10pro ran the Killshot fine all day yesterday.

I keep coming back to how perfect they run on the rx8.
