Default Eflite running backwards, stuttering, not working correctly

I picked up an Inversa today, got it all setup, everything was working, bound to my JR 12x. Went upstairs, had dinner, ran down, grabbed, the plane, radio and charged battery, using the recommended battery, 480 mah 3S with JR. Nothing modified.

Set it down, turned on the radio, keeping it several feet away, and plugged in the battery, ALl throws worked, ESC beeped 3 times then beeped once indicating it was armed. Went to throttle up and it jumped back and forth, then sort of ran backwards. I unplugged the pack, tried again, same thing. I brought back in, and switched to a DX8, same thing. I also noticed that it doesnt bind right away. When setting it up initially I had to go into the sub trim and reduce the throttle down 40 steps before it would arm. The ESC and wires are plenty warm, on the verge of hot.

So bad ESC?
