Default Strange motor/esc issue. Help please.

I put a Turnigy 4250kv 4 pole and 120amp trackstar sensored esc set in my wraith.
Runs fine until I need to reverse, then is seems like the motor locks up. After a minute or so it frees up and I can continue as if nothing happened. I have re bound the receiver, and reset and reprogrammed the esc in multiple configurations with no luck. Temp is not an issue, as it will do it at first run to anytime after.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

Have you tried a diff RX/TX to rule them out?

Is reverse set to 100% on the esc? Are you running sensored and if so check your sensor wire. Check for binding in your drive train. How many cells are you running? what exact esc and motor are you running?

Try setting reverse to 100%. my hobbyking esc's stutter and act up when reverse is set to anything under 100%. Not sure why.
