I tried changing the bec from 6 volts to 7 and that did nothing. the mamba max has a red light on when I try and give it throttle. and the settings are

brake/reverse type- proportional w/reverse lockout
brake- 60%
reverse- 80%
punch- 0%
drag- 35%
start- low
motor- normal(10)
motor type- brushless
arming- 1.5 seconds
cutoff- none
throttle dead band- average (0.1000ms)

Why do you have reverce locked out? The red light comes on on mine when I go to rev.Maybe try to change that to porportional with rev. Make sure you calibrate the esc with reciever making the green light on first.You might have to reverse you transmitter.
