1. Hold full throttle, switch it on.

3. Full reverse once, wait for beeps. Hit full throttle if you want reverse enable, then wait for the beeps. This is the "Mode Choice."
-you seem to have an extra brake in there.. I'm hitting it twice. Perhaps I'm doing it once for programming mode, and once getting it in boat mode? (instead of 2x to go to 1way mode like I want) I did it yesterday before I posted, and noticed the throttle was a bit sticky from before tuning, like the throttle didn't let off quickly even after I let go of the trigger. Was a bit strange
4. Hit full reverse twice, waiting for the beeps after each time. Hit full throttle if you want medium brake strength, and wait for the beeps.
5. Hit full reverse twice, waiting for the beeps after each time. Hit full throttle if you want 0.26sec. acceleration, and wait for the beeps.
6. Full reverse once, wait for the beeps. Hit full throttle, and wait for the beeps. This sets it up for automatic timing.
7. Full reverse once, wait for the beeps. Hit full throttle, and wait for the beeps. This will cause the motor to slow down once the cutoff voltage is reached.
8. Full reverse four times, waiting for the beeps after each time. Hit full throttle, and wait for the beeps. This sets it up for 4s Lipo.
9. Range of neutral zone (I think it's also called Dead Band) - you might want to try experimenting here. I prefer 9%, which is full reverse 3 times, and waiting for the beeps in between. Then full throttle, and wait for the beeps.
10. I like to have it automatically correct the neutral position, so I hit full reverse twise, waiting for the beeps after each time. Then full throttle, and wait for the beeps.
11. Hit full reverse twice, waiting for the beeps after each time. Then full throttle and wait for the beeps. This step sets up "freewheeling."
12. Drag brake - I don't want any, so I hit full reverse once, wait for the beeps, hit full throttle, and wait for the beeps.
13. Switch the ESC off and/or unplug the batts. Wait maybe 10sec. before turning it back on and/or plugging the batts back in.
The instructions say there is a certain number of beeps, just ignore that. If you follow my instructions exactly, it should work (as mine did). If not, then either the ESC is bad or for some VERY strange reason the MGM doesn't like your radio system. To rule out the radio idea, maybe you could try a friend's radio and see if it all works the same.
Finnster,
