Default Orlandoo ESC won't play nice with Flysky

Hey guys. Got all my electronics in for my Orlandoo, but no kit yet. I decided to test out the electronics in the meantime. I have tried 3 different Flysky receivers, all exhibit the same issue. This does NOT happen with my expensive Futaba. That works perfect. Here is the issue:

When I turn on the ESC, the motor starts moving by itself. If I squeeze the trigger about 1/3 of the way in, it stops. I can't get the motor to stop moving any other way than that. Throttle trim will slow it down, but not eliminate it. I have also tried:

reversing throttle channel
rebinding
disabling ABS/Expo/etc
and fiddling around for an hour.

Anybody have anything like this happen? I can't be the only guy with this ESC and a flysky, as Sam posted the pics of this truck with a flysky rx lol.

Please help!!!!!

FIXED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Apparently you can calibrate the GT3B. Had no idea. It explains why some "auto learn" ESCs were a bit wonky with that remote. Honestly this thing feels better than ever. I'm just going to periodically calibrate mine from now on. Here is how I did it.

To enter menu turn radio on, turn wheel full right then press and hold enter. (eventually I let go of enter and it started)


With the 1 displayed on your left
Hold ST Wheel full left till numbers stop moving,
Press enter
Let ST Wheel center, once numbers stop changing
press enter
Turn wheel full right, once numbers stop changing
press enter

Now press END to move to channel 2

Hold trigger full throttle, let numbers stabilize
press enter
Let trigger center, let numbers stabilize
press enter
push trigger full reverse, let numbers stabilize
Press enter

Then I pressed either "back" or "end" (sorry i can't remember) and it brought me back to the main screen.

A lot of times its the epa or end point adjustment that needs to addressed.
