Make sure you set the profile to Brushed. I found out pretty quick that the rig won't work in Brushless mode. I set it on 100% drag brake and it is awesome for a clod, much better than any of the popular brushed motor esc's.

Yep make sure you select brushed and set it for 100%.

I can email you my setup later if you want?

Dude it's a well know rule around here, if Rockpiledriver gives you info, seek a second opinion

Just wired one up the other day to some 65t's(hmmm what could I be up to), I set the drag brake to 100% and the brake to 90% this way one you start creepin down a slope and you have to apply the brakes it dosen't send you a$$ over end. The rest I left the same except for switching the motor setting to brushed/reversing. Works like a charm.

Here is mine.

you have to right click it and save it to your computer, then open it with the software.

If you click it it shows you the text.
