I was thinking the same thing as far as spool up test with blades off - far less load. Makes you realise how much force is exerted on the gears - with the motor out, I have to apply a fair bit of force by hand onto the gears to get the blades moving, compared to how fast they jump in speed at times with motor power.
The only ESC setting on the Turnigy Plush 60A is Normal-Soft Start-Super Soft Start. That probably gives you 2 different Ramp up times. I'll set it at super soft and try at half stick with the blades off. As you said, that's probably what's happened - slowly moving the stick, the soft spoolup time expires before the blades have increased much in speed, then the power jerks suddenly. Makes sense now that I know how it works.
