Default Speed controller problem

I'm helping a friend convert to electric. I'm trying to test everything out with a Futaba radio/receiver set. i believe everything is hooked up properly but the problem is when i try to turn it on, the motor runs full speed ignoring the radio.

I'm using the speed controller to power the receiver, and the servo's work fine. am i missing something or is it a bad speed controller (its brand new)?

On Futaba Radios you need to reverse the throttle servo channel in the transmitter programming.

Thanks for the reply, and yes the throttle had to be reversed but I did manage to find the problem. These things need to come with instructions lol.

I guess it was the sensitivity pot underneath the controller that needed adjustment. Turned it until the motor stoped and i had full control.
