Just a single beep after 10 sec.? You may have to mess around with reversing the throttle channel (on the transmitter) and playing around with endpoints (if you can do that).

Is there a particular pattern to the beeping? The instructions have a list of the error codes that relates to the pattern of the beeps.

I had a problem like that once with my MGM. I ended up having to use a different radio system.

I have two other radio systems, but do you have to program the controller to use it?

Yes, the controller needs to be programmed. Otherwise, it doesn't know what neutral, full forward throttle, and full reverse throttle are.

If 100% epa don't work try 80%. It may have to much movement. Make sure you are pushing the right dirction. I was doing that at first as well. If the full forward doesn't work try full reverse and see what happens when turning on the esc.
