I must say it does look like a sensor problem to me from the vid you posted.
When you get a sensor problem the esc cant work out the position of the rotor in relation to the sensors so it has to try and work out which channel to put power down to turn the motor forward, if that makes sence.
Hence the reason for it moving back and forth before it works it out and wants to go.
Try in the following order (of cheapness ). Sensor lead (make sure it is pushed into the sockets properly), Motor, then the only other thing it can be is esc.

Hello, its calmed down a bit. I noticed the timing mark was off the scale (its a used motor) rather than being in the marked range, it was over the other side. I think that might have been the problem, not sure as brushless and timing is very new to me. Its still very slightly stuttery but nothing like before. A different sensor lead did not seem to make a difference. I'll wait and get a new motor at some point and go from there. I'm might try it out on a track for the first time on Friday and see how it goes.
On another note, I purchased the capacitors as recommend by Mark, and this seems to have solved the stuttery servo issue on both cars.
I also changed the servo exit position, and managed to pull out the white wire from the board
but managed to solder it back, hopefully it won't shake loose.
I have found that I am spending a considerable amount of time on the cars, and really enjoying it. It's a classic hobby whereby you experience a bit of pain now and then, but the learning experience is great!
I might pop down to Maritime tomorrow, and see what it's like.
Cheers and thank you for the continued advice!
