Can you describe that in newbie talk?
What is an ESC?
ESC = Electronic Speed Controller
This the thing that on one side connects to the three wires coming from the motor, and on the other has a thin wire connector to the receiver, and a big thick wire connector to the battery pack.
You also need to know about BEC's
BEC = Battery Eliminator Circuits ( not to be confused with UBEC's! ).
A BEC is used to power your low voltage electronics in an RC airplane.
The BEC supplies power to the RECIEVER and SERVOS, but not to the motor directly.
On lower power planes ( less than 35A or so current draw ) the BEC is normally built into the ESC's.
On the A-10 one BEC must be disabled and the other must remain on... this should be how your plane came configured. You may see a disconnected red wire on one of the ESC connectors... that is what is disabling the extra BEC...

How do you do a throttle range calibration?
You turn on the Transmitter ( TX ) move the throttle stick to mid throttle with the throttle trim in the middle, then turn on the plane.
After the first beep, move the throttle all the way up, then all the way down and immediately move the throttle trim all the way down.
This "teaches" the ESC the range of the throttle signal from the radio.
You need to do this with EACH ESC separately to get the motors in sync...

How do you play with the ESC programing?
Then, How do you reset the ESC?
It depends upon the ESC itself and how the manufacturer set it up for programming.
Each ESC from a company has specific programming instructions and features.
Unfortunately most are written in incomprehensible english.
So even if you have the programming guide ( it's a single sheet page ... ) you really need to have someone experienced with ESC's and electric RC stuff do it for you while you watch and learn.
