Motors stop after a few secs. while at idle

Working on getting initial setup completed for a new toy, and I’m having issues with the motors cutting out after a few seconds after idling.

If I just start the motors, they shut down after about 5 seconds while at an idle. If I give it throttle right out of the gate, it’s fine until it goes back to idle, then motors cut out again.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

If you want to test motors on the bench use Mission Planners Motor Test.
