    Start at 8khz and see how it runs. I run my Ice 200's at 8khz and they seem to run great.

      Thanks. I was running it at 12khz and noticed my other escs are factory set at 8khz. I am having some issues where my motor will cog or shutter sometimes when you hit the throttle after getting some water in the boat this morning and wanted to make sure I couldnt fix it with programming but I tried other settings and it doesnt seem to help. Im thinking maybe a wet pistix may be the culprit. This is my first time using a pistix, but I would imagine this might be the effect it could have if it wasnt working properly.

        My guess is the wet Pistix is the problem. What radio are you using? I use the DX3R with my Ice 200's and calibrate the throttle on the radio so I don't have to use a Pistix.
