Yes to all the above. Investigating. Good points.

any updates on this problem yet???????as i still have the stutter as well?

[Slats]

Your last observation is a good one. I'll swap out the entire device tray to a new motor-bulkhead with fresh motors. If that solves the stutter problem, I'll back-track through the entire motor-bulkhead assembly and find the bad-guy.

Good thinking, pal!

I can now put down this three-pound sledge-hammer.

Got side-tracked with production work. I'll have it worked out over the weekend. Sorry about the delay.

I think David already ruled out the esc. It could certainly be bad motors. Or it could be bad capacitors, but there's not much that can go wrong with them. Or it could be inadequate shielding of some kind...the motor cans are not "tied down" or even the sheet metal that forms the tray that the motor cans more or less touch.

I worry more about my starboard motor weaker than port, rather than momentary motor stutter forward, as this would mean going about in circles to some extent. :)

+1 there on customer support.

Don't you believe it. Plenty of bad things can and do go wrong with capacitors, and they cause a lot of intermittent and difficult to trace faults. Electrolytics are the worst, ceramics tend to be much more rugged, but they can go short circuit, so don't rule it out.

I'm going to swap out the entire motor-bulkhead-motor assembly and if the jitters goes away I'll back-track to the origional motor-bulkhead-motor assembly and check things out there -- one motor at a time -- and find the source in the motors or (as andy suggested) the cap's.
