it can't be that hard to program a esc but for some resin it is for me how do you tell the esc what to do the only way i can get the motor to work is when i let off the throttle not when i pull on it. can some one help me please?????????????????

Servo reverse??

i did that it does not help

More information please, controller type, or name???

Need to know motor brand and specs please, how many cells?? Nimh, Lipo?

Lets start at the top, What esc and what radio do you have?

it's an xpower and the radio is a futaba magnum junior the motor is feigao 10xl and the battery is my starter battery for my nitro boats for right now i just want to make sure every thing work and i know the battery is not what i will be using but i know it will work for now because i just did it to my friends motor and esc for programing( i know it's a cheap esc but i don't have $200 for a good one right now just want to get the boat running and make sure i like it before i spend a lot of money)
