You seem to have picked an unusual esc to go with that motor- cheap was it?

The servo shoud work regardless of the programmiong not working correctly- the esc supplies power to the rx , so the steering servo will get power and function so long as its plugged into the correct slot/ channel position.

Not sure what to say about your main issue though- try leaving the throttle position unreversed, and check the throttle trim/ EPA etc. Doubt there are too many users of that item, hence the lack of replies...
