MGM 160/24 PLANE ESC - Can't Program It?!?!?!

Hey all - hoping i can get some advice or tips or anything i can get! -lol- Got 3 problems here - hoping u guys are feeling merry and helpful! -lol-

#1
I am having some problems trying to program my ESC. It is an MGM-Compro 160/24 Plane ESC, but i am running it in a converted Team Losi LST, with 18 nimh cells and a lehner 2230 11 wind motor. I am using mechanical brakes, and a Futaba 3PM-FM 'Megatech' radio.

I have had the thought that the ESC may need a "Stick" radio to be used instead of the pistol grip radio? I am hoping i don't need to change from my pistol grip radio to a stick radio - if that's the case, i'll need to buy another controller to substitute, as i hate sticks for land vehicles -lol-

I've tried all my different throttle trim settings, but can only get one outcome, or the other... If i leave the TX alone, and plug in the batteries, it will just sit there and beep at me - i feel it is the "0.25 second delay" beeps.

*i am getting either of the following two 'outcomes'...

a) (with no throttle pressed) series of beeps (have a feeling it's the 0.25 delay constant beeps) OR

b)(with no throttle pressed) 2 beeps - 10 second delay - 3 beeps - bout 3 second delay - then 4 short beeps - then red LED turns off and nothing.

Usually i get 'outcome a' with the throttle trim at zero, and pressing nothing. If i change the throttle trim up to about 64 (towards brake) i get 'outcome b' - but with trim at 63 - i get 'outcome b'. Same thing with sub trim - one or the other.

Sort of as if there's no neutral or something? I've also tried ending with throttle max brake instead of leaving it sit - just do

I also get 'outcome b' with throttle pressed full the whole time...

Having probs with the USB aswell.... the PC makes the lil noise (same one as when any USB device is connected) but when i connect the USBCOM - it makes a similar - but different noise - and i don't get the lil msg where i can click the bubble to install drivers for the device etc that usually comes up in the bottom right corner in windows XP. Is there a way i can manually do this?

Crap - one other thing -lol- I have probs with the mechanical brake - When the TX hits Forward throttle - the ESC is forwards, but the brake servo is actually braking...when the TX hits brakes - the ESC hits brakes - but the servo lets go of brakes...

So they are swapped and reversed to one another if that makes sense.... from the RX - they're connected as this....
RX--->FailSafe--->Y-Harness--->splits to esc and mechanical brake servo.


Sorry for the encyclopedia of questions - but is there anything you fellas can do to help me out here on either of the probs i'm having? I am desperate to get this truck up and running - the wait has been too long already! -lol-
