Default SPEED CONTROL QUESTION

Im kinda new to electric flight so forgive me if this seems a dumb question. I bought a great planes park flyer kit and also bought the great planes c-35 speed control, 400 size motor, 400 gear box and a 11.1 1250 mah LiPo battery. Anyway when i charged my battery last night and got my motor all connections made i thought i would see if everthing worked. When i put some power to the moter i noticed some smoke coming from out of the inside of the brand new speed control. It wasnt hot to the touch or anything but was a noticable amount of smoke. Everything works fine but surely thats not normal. I checked all my connections to make sure i had the + and - on the motor and speed control right and it was ok. It seems to do it worse when im barely giving the motor some throttle. Any advise would be appreciated. This is my first electric setup.
