As a follow up suggestion to Al and Ryan, there are a few ways you could test this. Setting a status bit on your Arduino that pulses once during a reset would tell you if you're resetting the controller accidentally. You could also try running a smaller motor, or try jump starting your motor by giving it a good spin in the appropriate direction before starting the output pulses to the Victor. It would help if you had the Victor in Coast mode when trying this so you could get it to a decent speed, of course.
