Default weird "issue" with 3pk setup

I have an odd problem with my setup, actually several of my cars, and I'm not sure what else to check. Its minor so it doesn't cause any serious issues with driving but its weird so its eating at me. Last night I was testing a new esc along with setting up a new steering servo. I turned the steering all the way left and few seconds later the esc started to turn the motor slowly and it slowly increased in speed....turn back the right and it was like I hit the brakes.....I sat there kind of dumb-founded and wondering if maybe the wife put something in my beer trying to kill me off and I was hallucinating or something....

So I thought it was the new esc, tried another car real quick....same result.....tried my stock slash.....same result.....

I swapped models on the radio thinking maybe I just flipped something somewhere when I was going thru the menus, same result.

This all happens after a few seconds of just holding the steering all the way left. It doesn't cause any issues when racing as I wouldn't ever really have a situation where I'd have to hold it full turn like that for more than a second or two so thats why I say its a minor problem if even a problem. Its just ticking me off that I don't know why its happening.

ideas....thoughts?
