PLEASE READ.ESCThrottle calibrating problem(savage conversion)

[naynay12]

I have finsihed putting my briushless savage conversion together.I am running a mamba 2200kv with a hobbywing 150a esc(the ones from hobbyking).
Anyway when setting the calibration for throttle the intruction manual says to put the throttle on the remote in REV(reverse so the functions are backwards).Anyway i set it per the manual.Now when i accelerate i am only getting 50% power and reverse is getting 100%.So a simple answer is to put REV back to normal.Once i do that the motor sceams at full throttle so i have to quickly put it back to REV.
So then i decide to re-calibrate it accept without putting it in REV.Once i am done i am now getting 100% for throttle EXCEPT to go forward(accelerate),i have to push reverse on the radio.
Side Note: Weirdly enough when i claibrate in REV the manual says to press accelerate to full on the remote and a red light will flash.This does not happen with me,i have to push reverse on the radio for the light to flash when calibrating.When i calibrate without putting the remote in REV,i can push throttle and the red liught will flash.
Anyway some help would be appreciated,sorry for the long post just needed to explain well.I will add pics .
