Default motor troubles, or maybe esc

starts off going, but when you stop it doesn't always start back up, but if you give it a push, turning the motor it takes off. this happens frequantly, its an integy 55t motor & mamba max esc

Your motor needs a comm and brush cut, almost guaranteed.

See if you can free up the brush. It should spring back and hit the comm when you pull on the little copper braid a bit.

I probably sent two bags on purpose, don't worry about it.

Are the brushes free sliding in the brush holders?

Right. If you take the spring off, do the brushes slide in and out smoothly? Probably a hung brush.
