Check out "Harley's Complete XR-10 Guide" in the XR section. 1st post. Hope it helps.

Turn the radio off, turn the radio on holding full throttle and turn on the esc
Wait for the tones to finish, when red lights flash move your throttle to full reverse, wait for the tones and the yellow light to flash, move throttle to neutral slowly let it sit until normall arming tones then you got it. Takes a few tries to get it right.

You can also go to castle website and look up the esc's manual and go to the quick start set up guide. Also with castle you have to have the throttle setting reversed, if I remember right, lol

Pretty decent direction thus far.

Yes, most Futaba radios either need the channel-2 reversed, reverse the ESC or swap motor wires (for brushed).

Castle general ESC info.... Castle Creations | FAQ: 1/10th Scale Products

More specific info.....
