This looks similar to the speed controller which you have (to me anyway) -one thing which does spring to mind, are you using the Futaba Mini 3/4 channel receiver? I cannot remember the model number of the receiver just now; however, not so long ago, we had a lot of problems which were mentioned by other members of this Forum, using this miniature receiver to drive Electronize 30 amp speed controllers.
I wonder if this could be a similar problem which you are experiencing? I wonder if you have access to another RX? preferably of a 6 channel model? Or, a totally different radio set-up e.g. HiTec to test the speed controller out with that?
Let us know what is happening? It may just be a simple solution - you may have your speed controller signal plug around the wrong way.
