brakes activated in one of the motors

  Hello,
   As indicated in the manual I programmed the ESC by connecting it directly to the throttle channel of the receiver. I connected all the 4 motor together so that it can be programmed simultaneously. It works fine however it appears that one of the motors applies power to slow down once I lower the throttle. It appears that brakes have been activated. I did not do anything special, I wonder how this happened and that too only for one motor. Is there a way I can undo. When I apply the throttle the motor seems to spin fine. However when I let go the throttle one of the motors quickly stops and while the other are still spinning. When I try to turn by hand I feel resistance while there is no resistance on the other 3 motors. When there is no power then there is no resistance so I am sure that there is nothing wrong with the bearings.
 
Thanks.

    Your ESC manual should show you how to program your ESC to turn this off. It involves going into programming mode with your throttle channel and then following the instructions. This is a pretty typical manual--yours may be similar.
