e-Ark X-400 - MX400 > MX450 power problems

Alright, I have an MX450 that I have worked most of the kinks out of. I finally have the tail in check. Go figure, replace it with trex parts and it works. The only other problem I have right now is, when I'm flying, it tends to cut the power to the motor somehow for a fraction of a second. It powers right back up after that and doesn't loose but about a foot of altitude. It's really random, and happens a couple times a minute. It doesn't seem to be from cyclic movement or adjustment of the tail. It hasn't made me wreck it yet, but as you know, I don't want it to get to that point. Any ideas on what the problem could possibly be?

Is your ESC hot???? If so then thermal protection may be cutting it out....
