On a side note, I really like the TT so far, it's my first Truggy. I was pretty surprised that after 10 minutes of run time with the VXL at 14T pinion both motor and esc were only 120 degrees. Which is about 20 degrees cooler than it ran after that amount of time in the Slash 4x4 I took it out of.
It most likely the internal BEC in the MMPro but I'm no expert. I'm just basing that assessment on past experience. The MMPro is a great ESC but it came with a weak BEC and it just goes sometimes or causes glitches. I know when mine starting acting up. I would pull the trigger and it would start fast and then just slow down. So I borrowed a MMPro from a friend that just happen to have the Castle External BEC attached to his MMPro. I put it in and bang....I was good to race. You may want to try that first, it will run you about $19 and it's a pretty easy mod for the MMPro.
