Try recalibrating, sounds like it isnt initializing fully because your neutral is off.

I've had about the same problem with my Wraith. It ended up being the batt. connection not making good contact. I bent the contacts a little tighter and it worked fine after that.

From Driver's Ed guide (Castle)
QUICK START GUIDE

4. Plug in the ESC Rx lead to CH2 on your receiver.
5. Make sure the ESC’s switch is off.
6. Plug in a battery.
7. Holding full throttle on your transmitter, turn the switch ON.
A. After a few seconds you’ll hear multiple tones and the red LED will come on.
B. Now hold full brake and after a few seconds you’ll hear multiple tones and the yellow LED
will come on.
C. Now relax to neutral and after a few seconds you’ll hear multiple tones and ALL the LEDs
will light up.
D. A few seconds later the ESC will arm with a double tone and you’re ready to go!

Just plug it in while holding full throttle.
