What motor are you using for your slave motor? Did I miss that?

If you watched my video on this motor, I almost had the same issue. The motor would hesitate with the low power test. The Fantom Helix RS was even worse. When it would hesitate, I would give the motor a bump with my finger. That would get it spinning again.

While running my tests, the G4R ran best with at 50*. However, not all motors are the same, but I'm sure they are not 6* off.

Like Trilerian said, you can use the 2RJ (2ohm) resistor, and that will put less of a load on the motor.
