Sometimes I have to unplug and re-plug but I have not had to re-bind.
the stock esc sometimes gives all its power to the motor and shuts off the esc, esp towards the end of a run when i put the power down, i found the spectrum capacitor helps in this alot. cycling power on startup is a regular thing with this esc, basically turn it on and wait for the rx light to turn on,, then off and back on and it should be ready to go.
