Default Saber tooth glitches question

Hey guys, I referring to the sabertooth 2x25 esc I'm using in the d11. The problem is ; everyonce in a while the esc will reset neutral to a forward or reverse (off stick neutral ) position. I originally was using a turnigy9x radio and just thought it was a radio glitch (beaten up radio) so I swapped out for the taranis radio system I'm using now. Figured that would resolve it. Nope still does it. I originally did not disconnect any duplicate power sources. As to me it doesn't change power input as all positive and negative rx pins are connected. And that really only matters in a power draw or bec issue, but I did go and disconnect power feeds to rx, now power is only from one source, the sabertooth. I did put a electrical choke on both signal wires and still have both negatives hooked up, only pulled the one positive signal wire. I have noticed if I don't go to extremes on stick then it doesn't do it as often. This only happens like 2 out of five times, but it still happens. Batteries are full charged and I'm sure it's not a battery issue. And I doubt that it is a amp draw issue as it has never done it when batteries are about dead (lipos) I'll have to check amp draw on motors to see what kind of headroom I have there. But like I said if it was a temporary brown out I would think it would resort to startup mode and beep a few times like normal startup. And from using two different radio systems with problem still showing up I doubt it's any program or radio signal issue. Possibly adjust end points on throttle input? Anyone got any ideas? It not a real issue but more of a pain in the but to go turn off/on after I've gotten comfortable in my cozy operators chair!!!!
