Update: Today I got out for a full test flight. All was set and the weather was holding (was supposed to be raining all weekend) so I figured I would see if I could get the fight in. Flight went as planned, motor start was smooth and solid the whole flight with a clean cut off. No ESC beeps or signals for over current.
Seems the good starting point for any of the Castle Creation ESC's is to set the start spool-up rate and motor start power to medium, current cut off can be set to normal with hard cutoff. This is what I call the Fox 35, 10x6 prop, 5%N superfuel set up, it is reliable, simple and easy to set up.
