Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks--Al

It can be duplicated easily. Turn off the esc switch, and turn it back on. That's what's happening. So, check for loose connections at the rx plug from the esc. I had the exact same problem. All I had to do was crimp the metal plugs in the connector a little to make a tighter fit at the rx. Problem gone. If that doesn't help, you might have a short in one of the wires from the esc to the rx. No guarentees, but give it a try before spending money.
